∙ 13y agoIn Shakespeare's play, Macbeth DID kill Duncan, and if he hadn't, there wouldn't have been much of a play. But Macbeth wanted to be king, didn't see it happening while Malcolm was the heir apparent, and most of all did not want to displease his wife, who was very skilled at getting him to do what she asked, and who had insisted that he should kill Duncan.
