Best Answer

"Don't believe Shakespeare, Macbeth was one of Scotland's better kings." Actually, you should believe Shakespeare since he wrote the play. And Macbeth was not"one of Scotland's better kings," for two reasons. 1). Macbeth was evil and bloodthirsty, only thinking about himself and how to get more riches, and could care less about any other obligations he had as king. 2). Macbeth was also not even a real king, he was just told about in a story.
