What does Duncan call Macbeth when he hears Macbeth defeated Macdonawald?

"cousin", which suggests that Macbeth is somewhere in line for the throne, which would account on how quickly and seriously he took the witches' prophecies to be. he was in line for the throne, in other words, if all the heirs before him dies or are rid off, he would naturally become King. Duncan even said that he owes Macbeth a great deal for the defeat of the traitor Thane of Cawdor, this further leads Macbeth into believing that he might have a chance to be King. However, immediately after this, Duncan establishes his son as the one to succeed. This pushes Macbeth to more extreme methods, which suggests his readiness to commit murder for his ambition.


What does Lady Macbeth mean by when none can call our powr to accompt in these lines from Act V of The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare?

"Pow'r", as you know, is "power" spoken in one syllable, and "accompt" is a variant spelling of "account". The phrase is easier to understand if you quote the whole sentence, "What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?" This is Lady Macbeth talking in her sleep, and what she is talking about is the murder of Duncan. "What need we fear who knows it?", she asks, "Who cares if people know we killed Duncan?" Why would she not be afraid to be branded as a murderess? Because "none can call our power to account." They won't have to give an account of how they used their power now they are king and queen. This is such a very different attitude from that voiced and acted on by Macbeth: "We but teach bloody instructions, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor." Lady Macbeth believes that being king will mean that they will not have to give an account of how they got there. Being king by whatever means will make them more secure. Macbeth knows that becoming king by violence will only invite his overthrow by violence. Becoming king by violence will make them less secure.
