macduff
Duncan, the king was murdered by Macbeth's wife. The attending servants were blamed for the deed.
Well first of all, Lady Macbeth didn't murder King Duncan. She was going to, but for some reason Duncan reminded her of her father and she couldn't bring herself to kill him, so Macbeth murdered the King. He murdered the king so the prophecy the three witches told him would come true....that'd he'd become the king.
Duncan was betrayed by Macbeth, a nobleman and his trusted friend. Driven by ambition and spurred on by his wife, Lady Macbeth, Macbeth murdered Duncan to seize the throne of Scotland. This act of treachery set off a chain of events that led to Macbeth's own downfall.
As Macduff was going to wake King Duncan he discovered that King Duncan had been killed.
Macbeth was hiding a lot. He was hiding his fears and guilty feelings. He also was hiding what he was doing with Scotland and the why everyone was dieing from Lady Macbeth
In "Macbeth," after he had slain Duncan, Macbeth went on to commit additional murders to cover his tracks, even without his wife's prompting. Before the death of Duncan, he needed the pushing of Lady Macbeth to kill. Once the deed was done, however, he came across as someone willing to do whatever it took to keep his new status and not be exposed.
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.
Macbeth killed King Duncan after hearing the witches' prophecies and being urged on by his wife, Lady Macbeth
He carries the daggers he has used away from Duncan's room. His wife wants him to return and plant them on the grooms, but Macbeth refuses.
In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," the character Macbeth kills King Duncan. Initially, the murder is seemingly committed by the servants, but it is later revealed to be Macbeth and his wife who are responsible for the crime.
Duncan comes across as a kind and grateful monarch who has genuine affection for Macbeth. His praise of his castle and gratitude for their hospitality shows irony since he will never leave Macbeth palace and will be murdered by his "hosts". His words accentuate the villainy of the murderous duo.
He's inside the castle. Duncan reaches the castle in Act I Scene VI, and Macbeth arrives in the previous scene. Duncan remarks that Macbeth passed them on the way, so he knows he's around somewhere. He asks Lady Macbeth to "Conduct me to mine host" and they enter the castle.
