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.

What was Lady Macbeth's role in the William Shakespeare play?
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.
How was Macbeth viewed by his people?
People hated Macbeth because he killed the king Duncan (the king of Scotland) so that he could become the king as the witches prophecy had mentioned and then Duncan's grooms and Banquo and who knows how many more. Even if they did not suspect him of all those crimes (and we know from Lennox's speech in Act 3 Scene 6 that at least some of them did), they could not help feel the oppressive atmosphere caused by Macbeth's paranoia. He keeps a "servant fee'd" in every house to spy on people and turn them in if they grumble about Macbeth. All in all it was like living under Stalin.
What are the three witches prophecies and how are they revealed at the end of the play?
The three witches prophesize that Macbeth will become the Thane of Cawdor, then King of Scotland, and later be defeated by a man not born of a woman. At the end of the play, these prophecies are revealed to have all come true: Macbeth becomes king after killing Duncan and Banquo, is defeated by Macduff who was born by cesarean section (therefore not "naturally" born), and Malcolm becomes the king of Scotland.
Why does the play Macbeth end with the new king giving a speech?
The new king gives a speech at the end of "Macbeth" to establish his rule, address the chaos that occurred under Macbeth's reign, and restore order to Scotland. It also serves to provide closure to the play and bring resolution to the tragic events that unfolded.
In Macbeth who was on the throne?
At the outset of Macbeth, Duncan is the King of Scotland. Shortly after Macbeth commits regicide, he becomes the King. At the very end of the play, Malcolm (Duncan's son) is taken to be crowned.Unless you meant in terms of real history, in which case, James I was on the throne when Shakespeare wrote Macbeth.
Where are the king and his followers headed at the end of scene 4 Why In Macbeth?
This must be Act I scene 4 that we are talking about. The king has just announced that the party is at Macbeth's place, and so everyone is headed to Inverness.
Who is the inherit the throne of Scotland and when will the coronation take place in Macbeth?
Two coronations are referred to in the play: that of Macbeth, and that of Malcolm. Neither of them really inherits the throne, because the law of that time held that the king was elected (see "Then 'tis most likely the election will fall on Macbeth")
Why does Macbeth hesitate to kill Duncan?
Macbeth hesitates to kill Duncan because he has a change of mind. He begins thinking about the fact that Duncan has recently honored him by promoting him to the position of Thane of Cawdor. Likewise he reflects that if you get power by violence you set an example for someone who wants to get rid of you. Also, the King is not only his king but also his cousin. And there is an ancient taboo against harming guests in your house. And besides, if it were ever known what he did, there would be a huge outcry because Duncan is such an agreeable old buffer. And against all of this, what can Macbeth think of to encourage him to kill Duncan? Just the chance of becoming king. Big deal.
