because he wanted to become king. he also wanted to get rid of his kids (one of whom would be heir to the throne) but they flead making him the new king.
the above ans is does not answer the question FULLY. Macbeth is not entirely evil, he does think he shouldn't really kill Duncan. He thinks three reasons: He is his kinsman and host (therefore it is entrusted with him to look after his guest) and finally Macbeth is his subject. Lady Macbeth does however manipulate Macbeth into killing Duncan as she insults and questions his manhood when he wishes to go no more in their plan. Even though there is many reasons against killing Duncan there is only one true reason his deep dark desire which was awoken be the witches in the first scene of the Scottish Play. Duncan's children fled from Scotland as they feared for their lives. They thought there was 'daggers in men's smiles'. This left Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as King and Queen of Scotland...

∙ 14y agoYes, Macbeth murdered his cousin Duncan, whom was also the king, in order to become king himself. At first, he knew that it would not only be wrong to kill the king, but even worse to kill his own kin. But Lady Macbeth, macbeth's wife, wanted him to have this higher power and talked him into it.
