He didn't! He was killed by Macduff in the end, who is theThane of Fife. Macbeth dies after going insane with all the power and greed, he thinks he is unstoppable, but Macduff gets revenge by killing him because Macbeth killed Maduff's family. (I know, he's stupid!) Lady Macbeth also commits suicide, as she starts going loopy as she imagines blood on her hands which she can't wash off!
I know, what a messed up couple!
At the end of Shakespeare's play Macbeth; Malcolm, son of Duncan is proclaimed to be King of Scots. (In actual history, Macbeth was succeeded by his son Lulach; who was then was assassinated and deposed by Malcolm)
She is 100% responsible for it. At the beginning of Act I Scene 7 Macbeth decides that it would do no good to kill the king. However, Lady Macbeth totally turns his decision around by playing on his masculinity and pride.
In the beginning of the play Macbeth, Macbeth could be considered the hero. However, by the end, he has become the villain and Macduff has become the hero.
Seyton was loyal to Macbeth right to the very end.
"This dead butcher and his fiendlike queen" Nice, eh.
It's a tragedy. The main character or characters always die at the end of Shakespearean tragedies. In the internal logic of the play, Macbeth has to be deposed to end his reign of terror, and that can only happen if he is killed. Besides, Macduff wants revenge for the death of his family.
Tutankhamun. Helen Keller. Bruce Lee. Madame Tussaud. Literally billions of people do not become king at the end of Macbeth. Only Malcom does. Anyone else (did I mention Carmen Miranda?) does not.
At the end of the play Macduff gave Macbeth two choices; surrender and live under the rightful king of Scotland or die. Macbeth chose death.
we'll have thee
Both Macbeth and Richard the Third by Shakespeare end with a big fight between the title character and his nemesis (Macduff in Macbeth and Richmond in Richard)
At the beginning of the play, Macbeth didn't have any enemies. By the end he had lots, including Malcolm, Donalbain, Fleance and especially Macduff.
In his dreams. Macbeth does not kill Macduff, it's the other way around. Macduff kills Macbeth at the end of Act V, at the end of the play. It is interesting that, although Macbeth is based (extremely loosely) on a historical character, there was no historical Macduff.
