Basically, Macbeth wants all the power, and to get that power he kills king Duncan. Then when Macbeth is announced king all of a sudden Banquo ( Macbeth's best friend) suspects him. So when Macbeth finds out that Banquo is suspecting him, he gets his men to kill, Banquo. Soon after Macbeth starts feeling guilty and sees the ghost of the people he killed.

So Macduff kills Macbeth and Malcolm ( one of the sons of Duncan) becomes king.
How does Macbeth react to Malcolm being named as Prince of Cumberland?
Macbeth has "black and deep desires" regarding dutchman's son and heir, malcolm.
Does the play Macbeth have any historical truth?
The Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' was based largely on facts. What mightn't have been factual might have been the supernatural presences. What else mightn't have been factual might have been the Shakespearean interpretation of the characters. What definitely wasn't factual was the succession of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] by King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. In between was the less than a year rule by Macbeth's stepson, King Lulach [d. March 17, 1058]. Neither were the two royal murders factual. King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] was killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands. As with his stepson, Macbeth was killed not by the fictitious Macduff, but by Duncan's elder son, the subsequent King Malcolm III.

Who is more ambitious Macbeth or lady Macbeth?
I would say that Lady Macbeth is the most abitious out of the two.This is simple because the play is based around masculinity and In Lady Macbethsmonologue she says the words "unsex me here" and "Take my milk for gall"If we also look at the play in the moments before Duncan is killed, Macbeth has feelings that he shouldn't go through with what he is told to, but who else is there but Lady Macbeth to force him to see it through.In short, as soon as Lady Macbeth finds out what Macbeth is prophesized to become she really does start to pressure him into "Becoming a man" and fufilling what has been foretold.I hope this helped :)
What is banquos character based on?
Banquo's character in William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth" is mainly based on the historical figure Banquo, who was a Scottish nobleman and ally of King Duncan. In the play, Banquo is depicted as courageous, loyal, and morally upright. He serves as a foil to Macbeth, highlighting the contrast between their characters and choices. Banquo's descendants, according to the witches' prophecy, eventually become kings of Scotland.

Why did Shakespeare make mmacbeth a villen?
I assume you meant "Why did Shakespeare make Macbeth a villan?" Well, what could the storyline have been if he wasn't a villan? Shakespeare's Macbeth was based on the real Macbeth. He murdered his king, Duncan, and became king. I guess that means that the real Macbeth was a villan, and so Shakespeare only kept it that way, showing it wasn't Shakespeare that made his character of Macbeth a villan.

Was Macbeth a real person?
Macbeth did indeed ascend the Scottish throne after the death of King Duncan I, but Duncan was a fairly young man (unlike the old and wise Duncan of the play) and was by no means a very able ruler. He was not murdered in his bed, but defeated and killed by Macbeth at the Battle of Pitgaveny on the 14th August, 1040 in what was a generally popular dynastic coup. As king, Macbeth seemed to bring order and stability to Scotland, so much so that he was able to leave and go on a pilgrimage to Rome in 1050. However, the King of England, (Edward The Confessor) made an massive invasion bid under the command of Earl Siward in 1054 which severely weakened Scotland once again. Although Macbeth's regime survived that crisis, Duncan's son Malcolm Canmore (the future Malcolm III) was later able to defeat Macbeth at the Battle of Lumphanam on the 15th August, 1057. Mortally wounded, Macbeth died at Scone shortly afterwards and was succeeded as king by his stepson, Lulach (as opposed to Malcolm). Unlike in the Shakespeare play, Macbeth was not considered a tyrant by his contemporaries and had a generally very successful reign lasting 17 years. The reason this may have changed in Shakespeare's Macbeth is because Shakespeare made his plays to please the English monarchy, and the real history does not portray England as a very moral country.
Was Macbeth based on the middle ages?
