Duncan is his cousin. Duncan is his king. Duncan is his guest. If he murders Duncan, he invites others to murder him. Many people like Duncan for being a nice guy and will be angry when he is killed.

Macduff does not lead a rebellion against anyone in William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth."

The play ends with Macduff killing Macbeth in a duel and declaring Malcolm as the rightful king of Scotland.


Why doesn't Banquo tell everyone that he strongly suspects Macbeth of killing Duncan?

Banquo probably doen't know for sure about how Macbeth is planning on killing Duncan so he can become king. Even if Banquo did know, he is a very loyal friend to Macbeth and will keep all of his suspicions to himself. Which is ironic, because Mabeth ends up hiring murderers to kill Banquo, which goes to show you that Macbeth really isn't that loyal.

Macbeth kills Banquo in the play and then Banquo's ghost haunts Macbeth.
