∙ 13y agoHe repeats the official story that they left the country to avoid their inevitable prosecution for the murder of their father, being guilty of the crime, in his conversation with Ross. Whether Macduff actually believes this story is another matter. His general demeanor suggests that he is sceptical.

Who was inline for the throne after Malcolm in Macbeth?
Either one of Malcolm's sons (who are not mentioned, so at the time of the events in the play, he may or may not have had sons). In the case that Malcolm did not have sons, (or if he did have them and they were killed or for some reason they were unable to take the throne) Donalbain, Malcolms brother and Duncan's second son, would be next in line for the throne and would become the King.
What decision does Macbeth come to?
At the end of the play Macduff gave Macbeth two choices; surrender and live under the rightful king of Scotland or die. Macbeth chose death.
Why did Macbeth want to be King?
Because his wife convinced him that he would gain much power. Without her poor influences he probably would not have killed Duncan. he was said to be very loyal, but he never gave off the vibe that he liked the King, and how he was ruling.
Who was sleeping in the second chamber why did shakespeare include that information in the play?
Donalbain. Here's the conversation where it comes up. Macbeth: I have done the deed. Didst thou not hear a noise? Lady M: I heard the owl screech and the crickets cry. Didst thou not speak? Macbeth: When? Lady M: Now. Macbeth: As I descended? Lady M: Ay. Macbeth: Hark! Who lies in the second chamber? Lady M: Donalbain. The Macbeths are jittery about whether someone might wake up and catch them in gore up to their elbows. Macbeth thinks he heard a noise, and Lady M thinks she heard someone speak. Macbeth thinks that he has heard it again--he says "Hark" which means "listen". He is asking Lady M to listen for the noise he hears. Then he wonders whether it might have come from the second chamber (next to the king's), and asks who is sleeping there. For some reason, knowing that it is Donalbain satisfies him and he can be distracted by the blood on his hands.
Does Macbeth have a legitimate right to the throne?
This is a somewhat disputed issue. According to the traditional Scottish method of selecting successors to a king, called tanistry, the new king was elected from the late king's close relatives. We see a reflection of this practise in this conversation in Act 2 Scene 4: "Then 'tis most like the sovereignty will fall on Macbeth" "He is already named, and gone to Scone to be invested." In such a system, Macbeth would have had a reasonable expectation of being king, because he was Duncan's first cousin, very closely related. Indeed he seems to be somewhat surprised when Duncan names Malcolm Prince of Cumberland (thus nominating him as the tanist or successor). Some historians think that tanistry had already been overtaken by primogeniture in Scotland by the time of Macbeth. If that is the case, then there would have been no surprise to Malcolm being named as Prince of Cumberland. It would explain why Macbeth says to the witches "to be king stands not in the prospect of belief." if he was only third in line to the throne, after Malcolm and Donalbain. It might be surmised that the only reason Macbeth even considers the idea of kingship is because the witches tell him it will happen. It also might be thought that at first Macbeth believes the king will announce that his sons aren't ready, and that Macbeth should take the throne instead. But under the system of primogeniture he would have no right to do so, and under the system of tanistry the heir is elected, not chosen by the king, so Duncan would have no power to do so under this system either. It has been noted that the play seems to celebrate a triumph of English customs over Scottish ones--Malcolm, backed by English troops, abolishes the Scottish title "Thane" and replaces it with the English one "Earl". It might be seen also that Malcolm represents the English system of primogeniture whereby the son of the last king, no matter how unworthy (and nobody can dispute that Malcolm is useless as a warrior) automatically becomes king, whereas Macbeth represents that indigenous Scottish system, based in part on merit, which primogeniture replaced.
