One would normally assume that the main character in Macbeth would be the man of the same name. However, the Shakespearean play is filled with vital characters that each make their own contribution. A character that fits this mold is King Duncan, the once ruler of Scotland. Normally, an individual that dies early on and has few speaking roles isn’t valued, but Duncan plays a multitude of pivotal roles that serve to highlight his importance.
