William Shakespeare's "Macbeth", was Abraham Lincoln's favorite play. Shakespeare was also Lincoln's favorite playwright, as he was intrigued by the depth of Shakespeare's insight into human motivation, the cleverness of his wit. Many of William Shakespeare's classic plays, where power and politics are the central theme, and the central figure is usually a king, whose court is a place of tension and intrigue, and who spends much of his time hearing requests for favors; such as: King Lear, Hamlet, Henry VI, Richard II, Merry Wives of Windsor, Othello, were favorites too, of Lincoln's.
