An old and wise elder statesman figure.
In real life Duncan, who was Macbeth's cousin, was called Duncan the Sick and was a weak and unsuccessful king. Macbeth's overthrow of Duncan was welcomed by the Scots.
He's very credulous which is his flaw and what gets him killed.
Duncan appears to be a fair and just ruler in Macbeth. He is portrayed as kind-hearted, generous, and appreciative of loyalty, as demonstrated through his treatment of Macbeth and his gratitude towards his subjects. Overall, Duncan embodies the qualities of a benevolent monarch.
yes, from what you see from the very short time he is in the play. He is portrayed as trustworthy yet oblivious to some of the people among him. He is a also strong willed, thus giving him a good quality in a leader.
One could symbolize him in many ways. With a crown, because he is a king. With a fool's cap, because he is a poor judge of character. With a broken sword, because he is hopeless at fighting and needs Macbeth and Banquo to do it for him. With a splash of blood, because he is bloodily murdered. With a halo, because he is regarded as "saintly".
Macbeth is a play by William Shakespeare. In it, Duncan appears to be a fair and just ruler who values honor.
To become kind and queen. In the beginning of the play, 3 witches tell Macbeth that he will be kind. To cut it really short, his ambition is driving him to become a kind by any means.
Macbeth became king after being persuaded by his wife, Lady Macbeth, to murder the original king of Scottland, Duncan. Once that was done, the thanes assumed Duncan's sons would be promoted to the throne, but they both ran away in fear they might be murdered as well. With that, Macbeth took advantage of his positioin by saying Malcom and Donalbain (Duncan's sons) killed Duncan so he could be king himself. It worked.
In Shakespeare's Macbeth, King Duncan had two sons, Malcolm and Donalbain. Donalbain leaves for Ireland in Act II and that's the last we hear of him. Malcolm ends up succeeding Macbeth.
i think Macbeth wanted to be king. he couldn't though because king Duncan was. So Macbeth killed him. Then Banqou was suppose to be next to be kind, i believe. So he hired the revengers or avengers to murder him. Next was fleance. i don't know what happened to him.
so they will sleep through kind duncan's murder.
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plan to murder King Duncan by inviting him to their castle as guests, then waiting until he is asleep to kill him. They plan to frame the chamberlains for the murder by planting the murder weapons on them.
Macbeth says that he was overcome with hatred for killing a Kind (Duncan) was on the same level as killing God. he couldn't help himself. This makes Macbeth look even more innocent, showing that he is loyal to the king, when really he is the opposite)
In Act 2, Scene 1 of Macbeth, the king, Duncan, is in a pleasant and gracious mood. He comments on the beauty of Macbeth's castle and expresses gratitude towards Lady Macbeth for hosting him.
He was an old man, not a good judge of character, personally virtuous but not a particularly competent ruler.
lady Macbeth prays to be unsexed because she thinks her femininity makes her weak she is too kind and gentle she needs her kindness to be taken away so she can plan the murder and make Macbeth kill king duncan
Well, if by this you mean how do we know that Macbeth killed Duncan, his line in Act 2 Scene 2 "I have done the deed" is pretty clear. If you mean does he feel guilty about doing it, how about "This is a sorry sight" which he says while looking at his bloody hand shortly after.
Because she is determined, she wants Kind Duncan dead because she wants Macbeth to be King.
