Why is king duncan uphappy with the thane of Cawdor?

Answer 1

Duncan is a bit miffed with Cawdor because he was a traitor who joined forces with the king of Norway and assisted him in his invasion of Scotland. Naturally, Duncan ordered Cawdor to be executed, musing "he was a gentleman on whom I built and absolute trust."

Answer 2

There isn't an exact answer. This is a very ambiguous question. I had a debate about this for 2 hours and i concluded that it was because the King of Norway was giving him a reward or would give him a high position in his court if he betrayed King Duncan and helped the King of Norway.

Answer 3

If you are talking about Macbeth who was the Thane of Cawdor, he was considered a traitor because he murdered his way to the throne. If you are talking about Macbeth's immediate predecessor in the office, he was a traitor because he allied himself with the Norwegians, the enemies of the Scots. "Norway himself, assisted by that most disloyal traitor, the Thane of Cawdor, began a dismal conflict."

Answer 4

King Duncan is unhappy with the Thane of Cawdor because he betrayed him by joining forces with the Norwegian army against Scotland. This act of treachery led to the thane's execution and forfeiture of his title and lands. King Duncan sees loyalty as a key trait that is essential in his thanes.
