Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] appeared to be held in high regard by King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Macbeth killed the King and his two royal guards in Act 2 Scene 2 of the Shakespearean play. So the King's only appearances were in Act 1. In that first act, the King made half a dozen overtly flattering comments on Macbeth's character. For example, he touted kinship with his 'peerless' [Scene 5], 'valiant' [Scene 2] and 'worthiest' [Scene 4] cousin. He respected Macbeth's socioeconomic status and achievements as a 'worthy gentleman' [Scene 2]. He praised Macbeth's 'noble' [Scene 3] commitment on the battlefield to king and country. In essence, he considered Macbeth the kingdom's most valuable player, whose worth was 'more than all can pay' [Scene 4]. And he claimed to 'love him highly' [Scene 7].

Macbeth earned the respect of King Duncan by successfully leading the king's army in battle against the traitorous Thane of Cawdor. His bravery, skill in combat, and loyalty to the king impressed Duncan, leading him to bestow the title of Thane of Cawdor upon Macbeth.

∙ 14y agoIn the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', the main character of the same name showed off his kingship in two ways. One was holding a sumptuous banquet after his coronation at Scone. The other was ruling absolutely. The throne was the ultimate and absolute source of power in eleventh century Scotland. And so Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057], in the play, made sure that he consolidated his power and squished his opposition. He did so in the beginning months of his rule by eliminating those within his personal circle who didn't give him total, unquestioning support. Examples of his ruthless elimination of acquaintances were the bloodied fates of Banquo and of the entire Macduff household. In the subsequent months and years of his rule, he eliminated countless unnamed Scotsmen. He had them killed and their households destroyed. In the play, therefore, all Scotland writhed in pain and grieved as the Macbeths showed off the absolute powers of their monarchy.
