    Good morrow esteemed lords and ladies of the court, it is within my regrets to tell you that our “noble” thane (of both Glamis and Cawdor) and King Macbeth has murdered our fair (late) King Duncan for his own traitorous and greedy purposes. Macbeth has betrayed his country and committed regicide, the highest form of sacrilege. The prosecution has found Macbeth guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, with several accounts of murder, manslaughter, attempted murder, one account of regicide and conspiring to murder. (accessory to murder) :P…

    The murder of King Duncan creates somewhat of a snowball destined to roll down a very high and steep mountain for Macbeth. To cover his tracks, multiple subsequent murders are carried out. Shortly after killing Duncan, Macbeth kills both men guarding Duncan’s room. Although this was convenient for Macbeth it was also very unnecessary – the guards were two innocent men merely in the wrong place at the wrong time. When his best friend, Banquo, starts to suspect Macbeth, Macbeth feels very paranoid and threatened and orders for Banquo along with his son, Fleance, to be killed. While Banquo is murdered, Fleance escapes. Macbeth at first appears to be delighted by the news that Banquo is dead but come time for the banquet, his guilty conscience takes over and Macbeth loses all composure in front of his guests when he sees Banquo’s ghost. Later in the play, Lennox informs Macbeth that Macduff has fled to England. Macbeth resolves to attack Macduff’s castle and have everyone, including Macduff’s family, killed. The murder of King Duncan is the initial birth of Macbeth’s greed for power and not only are these subsequent murders unanticipated consequences, but the guilt and stress that comes with it.…

    At first he was doubtful, but with the support of Lady Macbeth, his curiosity escalated and he decided to invite the king to his castle where he will murder him. The king’s murder by Macbeth shows that Macbeth is a traitor and is disloyal because he was supposed to protect the king as shown in the quote: “Which do but what they should, by doing everything Safe toward your love and honour.” (1.4.27-28) but in the end he chose to kill him instead. Macbeth in this scene shows himself as an honourable and dependable man who Duncan can trust protecting him. Macbeth’s behaviour which proves his disloyalty allowed him to gain the title as king soon after, but at the same time the life he had as a good human being was gone to…

    King Duncan was beloved of his nobles and citizens because of his good qualities. He also entitled Macbeth the Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth should be the one who respected and supported him. However, the prophecy of the three witches that Macbeth was going to be the King of Scotland provoked Macbeth’s ambition. He wanted to kill the king so that he could usurp the throne, but there were conflicts within him. He was Duncan’s kinsman and subject. He was also the king’s host. He should protect the king rather than kill the king. It was a mortal sin to kill one’s family member and his guest. What’s more, Duncan was a good king: He did good things in the government; he had great virtues and people loved him. And Macbeth would be judged if he killed the great king. Many worries conflicted in Macbeth’s mind. However, his ambition eventually drove him to commit murder.…

    In the play Macbeth by Shakespeare a brutal murder occurs and no one is quite sure about the person responsible. Lady Macbeth is the one who is responsible for Duncan’s death, not only for deceiving Macbeth into doing it but also by being an accessory to the murder. Her ambition for the title and crown of being queen is much more plentiful than that of her husband Macbeth with whom she guides to take the crown she rightfully believes they deserve.…

    Macbeth is initially established as loyal and faithful and he shows this by saying, "The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself. Your highness ' part." The idea of loyalty in Elizabethan times was a huge deal, however, during the course of the play, jealously of King Duncan grows in his veins. After some encouragement from other characters, ambition overrides his core and soon King Macbeth is born. During the 17th Century productions of the play, Macbeth kills King Duncan offstage. There are many theories as to why this occurred (because all other murder scenes were performed on stage) but the main reason is because authorities didn’t want their citizens thinking the government could be removed so easily. People back then would respond to this idea of killing the king in horror and disgust. This was because loyalty was valued highly back then and to earn faith from your king would require a lot of effort. So when Macbeth becomes king, anyone who even followed him out of fear or blackmail would be seen cowardly…

    “Macbeth”, is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is considered the darkest and most powerful tragedies. It was written back in the 1600’s where in that period of time everyone was influenced by temptations. We live in a cruel world where people will do almost anything to gain power and be in charge. The play dramatizes the awful effects produced when evil is chosen as a way to fulfil the ambition for power. Macbeth was pressured by his wife Lady Macbeth. This led him to the masterly murder of the King Duncan which made him take the throne for himself. There are debates regarding who was mostly responsible for the death of King Duncan. Some say it was Lady Macbeth’s fault, others think it is Macbeth’s fault. In the play we collected evidence which supported the fact that Macbeth himself was more responsible for the death of King Duncan more than his evil wife. Macbeth was the one who committed the murder. Also, even though he was pressured by his wife he is still responsible for his own actions. Lastly Macbeth already liked the idea of killing king Duncan before Lady Macbeth knew about the prophecy.…
