The Responsibility Of Macbeth In Shakespeare's Play

For the murder of Duncan, Macbeth should be held accountable for his deeds. A reason to support this claim would be, Macbeth’s heart had already been filled with malicious intent before he even had a conversation with his wife about killing King Duncan. Readers can say that his wife, Lady Macbeth, acted as a sort of trigger that pushed him to the edge. Even though that she is just as guilty as he is, Macbeth should’ve trusted what he was doing was wrong.
On the night that Duncan visited the Macbeth household, his intuition caused him to have second thoughts about his evil plot. Loyalty to the king should’ve been taken into account, as he had just granted Thane of Glamis. In the end his cruel intentions were fueled by nothing else, but greed.
