Why Is Macbeth Responsible For Duncans Death

At first Macbeth thinks killing King Duncan is a dreadful thing to do:”We will proceed no further in this business./He hath honored me of late, and I have bought/Golden opinions from all sorts of people,/Which would be worn now in their newest gloss,/Not cast aside so soon”(1.7.31-35). This states that

She never questions the necessity of Macbeth becoming king and never pays attention to Macbeth's thoughts and opinion, just as mother would never care about her son's opinion about the 'stupid' homework. Macbeth's decision to "proceed no further in this business" (I.vii) was not even considered as a possible outcome by her. Lady Macbeth uses all the methods she can to convince her husband to murder Duncan. She uses Macbeth's love to her as an instrument saying that if he will not kill the king he really doesn't love her. She asks him if he is a man, tells him that he will be "so much more a man" after murdering Duncan. She gives Macbeth an example of how resolute and cruel he should be telling him that she--woman who is supposed to be kind and compassionate--would be able to kill her own child:

Macbeth’s first excuse for killing Duncan was that three witches who could see into the future told him of his fate. “All hail, Macbeth, who will be King later on!” (1.3.291) as one of the .witches put it. However, Duncan had already been crowned before Macbeth was told this. Macbeth took matters into his own hands, killing Duncan in order to receive the crown sooner than fate had it. If the witches were right, Macbeth would have been king even if he hadn’t killed Duncan, making it unnecessary to kill Duncan. Macbeth’s unruly decision to kill is an insight as to whether or not he’s solely guilty.

Lady Macbeth was more responsible for the death of King Duncan then Macbeth.Throughout the story Macbeth is sort of on an emotional rollercoaster bouncing between I should kill him, but he’s such a nice guy, and then back to I should kill him. Throughout the play Macbeth seems to be more playing the role of a child and Lady Macbeth the mother having control over everything Macbeth does through manipulation and demeaning him. During WWII the sedition act was passed so that someone

Even if he was fated to become king, he made the decision to murder Duncan to obtain that fate. Macbeth walked down fate’s path and chose which fork in the road he would follow. Macbeth even admits that he could leave his kingship up to fate, stating that “If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me without my stir.” (I, iii, 47-48) Macbeth is aware of the fact that if his destiny is determined, he does not need to take any action at all for it to come true.

A shocking story has developed overnight, with reports that King Duncan was murdered at Macbeth’s castle. Macbeth is now the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor, and he has revealed some shocking details about Duncan’s death. Macduff, Thane of Fife discovered Duncan’s body, with countless stab wounds.

Lady Macbeth and her Ruthlessness In life there are different ways people go about to achieve things, some get help from others, some do it on their own, and then there's some people who desire what they want so badly but have no ambition. In the play Macbeth, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth both have a goal to get Duncan out of his throne so Macbeth becomes the Thane of Cawdor, and they ended up with a plan to kill Duncan. In the first two acts in Macbeth, Lady Macbeth shows more ruthlessness than her husband, and this is why Duncan's murder succeeded.

As a result of Macbeth’s desire to be named King he decides to take his first actions against Duncan. Macbeth feels a sense of loyalty to Duncan while scrutinizing his next action. As Macbeth continues to dwell on his thoughts he says, “If th’assassination could trammel up the consequence, and catch with his surcease success: that but this blow Might be the be-all and the end-all, here, but here upon this bank and shoal of time, we’d jump the life to come” (1.7.2-6). Macbeth debates whether he should kill Duncan. He begins to list Duncan’s noble qualities and realizes that he has large amounts of faith in him.

It is clear that Macbeth plotted to kill King Duncan well before Lady Macbeth talked to him about it. His thoughts are recorded in the following soliloquy, "Glamis and Thane of Cawdor. The greatest is yet to come.....". Duncan was the king and he should've had ultimate respect, but was also the guest in Macbeth's castle. So Macbeth killed the King, this was regicide and should've been dealt with immediately.

After Macbeth's death, I Malcolm was named King of Scotland. Macbeth left a huge hole and led a terrible reign. Now I as king, have a job to my people to restore Scotland and build it back up to how it was and erase Macbeth's mistakes. Macbeth was no King, he was so obsessed with power he became a Tyrant. In doing so he caused panic and horror to my people of . After Macbeth's death I now must restore what was once was my home and is my kingdom to rule. I know as king i have a lot of work to do to restore my home and regain my peoples trust but in deed Scotland will flourish once again.

The death of King Duncan is an important death to note as it is he who commences Macbeth's quest for power. But who killed the mighty King of Scotland? Is it his loyal and trusted kin, Macbeth or Lady Macbeth, the woman who invited him into her humble abode or maybe it was his stupidity and the all trusting nature he possessed which lead to his deathly demise. Duncan the King of Scotland, a name also synonymous with fool is a factor in his own death.

Duncan is the most unlikely character to be killed because of his personality, but because he is the King of Scotland, Macbeth loathes him. In the play there is very interaction between Macbeth and Duncan, showing the little time in which Macbeth gets more power. Prior to the witches’ prophecies Macbeth is loyal to Duncan, and would never imagine killing him. After the one of the witches’ prophecies comes to be true, the thought of killing Duncan, Macbeth "yield[s] to that suggestion / whose horrid

Lady Macbeth solely set up Duncan's murder making it as easy as possible for Macbeth to commit the assassination of the king. This is another way in which Lady Macbeth is responsible for the assassination of Duncan. The audience does not know that Lady Macbeth feels that she is responsible for the destruction of her husband until the end when she sleepwalks. Lady Macbeth is excellent at hiding her true feelings.

In act two a lot happened, but the big question is, would Macbeth have killed Duncan. If it were not for his wife telling him to do so? Would Duncan still be alive and well; ruling over his country like he had been? I feel Macbeth would not have even thought up killing his king. If somehow he did dream that up, then I do not believe he would have had the guts to go through with it.

Duncan is the most unlikely character to be killed because of his personality, but his title as King of Scotland, causes for Macbeth to loathe Duncan. In the play there is very little interaction between Macbeth and Duncan, showing the little time in which Macbeth gets more power. Prior to the witches’ prophecies Macbeth is loyal to Duncan, and would never imagine killing him. After the one of the witches’ prophecies comes to be true, the thought of killing Duncan, Macbeth "yield[s] to that suggestion / whose horrid image doth unfix my hair / and make my seated heart knock at my ribs" (1.3.146-148). Partly because of Lady Macbeth’s suggestion his "vaulting ambition" is starting to take over, and he begins to take into consideration killing
