he throught he'd be the sickest lad if he sliced the king ear to ear.
Duncan was the King of England, and was the lover of Macbeth. He was murdered, because in order for Macbeth to fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about his safety at Macbeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But Duncan's flaw, wasn't something so horrible that he should die. Most people need to trust each other more, and just because one person did, he shouldn't have to die. Macbeth, possibly encouraged by the weakened position of Duncan, formed an alliance with their first cousin Thorfinn, earl of Orkney, Caithness and Sutherland under the King of Norway started a revolt. The rival armies met and Duncan was defeated and killed on August 1, 1040 near Elgin in Moray. There is some dispute as to the exact nature of Duncan's death, some texts say he died in battle and others say he was killed shortly after the battle by Macbeth.
Well, I can only find one. I am some what looking hard for them but not too in depth. Basically what I have is after Macbeth murders Duncan he is in his palace with Lady Macbeth. "[Kocking] Knock, Knock, Knock! Who's there,"
Some people might think that Duncan gives this title to Macbeth because Macbeth was instrumental in capturing the traitor Thane of Cawdor. But this is wrong. The Thane of Ross brings the news to Duncan of Cawdor's treachery but does not name Macbeth as the man that captures him. Ross is then told to find Macbeth and tell him that he is now the Thane of Cawdor. When Ross tells him this, Macbeth is astonished: he says "The thane of Cawdor lives--a prosperous gentleman! Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?" He would not have been astonished had he been the man to capture Cawdor. What is more, Ross is not surprised that he is astonished, because Ross knows that Macbeth has not yet heard of Cawdor's treachery. It is possible that Duncan misunderstood Ross's report and believed that Macbeth could simultaneously be in Forres (in northern Scotland) and Fife (in southern Scotland) fighting two different battles at the same time. If he was that much of a dimwit about the geography of the country he was supposed to be king of, then he might have rewarded Macbeth for something he did not do. It is far more likely that Macbeth receives the title either because Duncan wants to reward the brave and victorious Macbeth who defeated Macdonweald, or that his choice of Macbeth as the recipient is entirely arbitrary.
Macduff wishes to foil Macbeth's placement on the throne, and ends up killing him. Banquo is apparently a foil to Macbeth because his son will take the throne after him, and he feels this threatens his position. Duncan appears to Macbeth as a foil to prevent him getting to the throne.
The dagger Macbeth sees is a hallucination. Becuase Lady Macbeth has put the idea of killing King Duncan into his head, Macbeth is beginning to wonder what to do. He believes he is seeing a dagger and believes that it is a sign for what he should do.
Some significant quotes from Macbeth about killing Duncan include: "Is this a dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee." - Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 1 "I am settled, and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat." - Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 7 "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?" - Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 2 These quotes highlight Macbeth's internal struggle and guilt surrounding the murder of King Duncan.
Quick, get some Duncan Donuts in!
I don't. I think Macbeth is a tool used by his wife. She herself isn't up to killing Duncan so she has to get Macbeth to do it. Some people will also argue that Macbeth is a tool of the witches.
Macbeth is a play written in about 1606 by William Shakespeare. It is the story of Macbeth, a Scottish nobleman who becomes king after the previous king dies. The previous king, Duncan, dies as a result of Macbeth murdering him in his bed as Duncan was attending a party at Macbeth's house. Macbeth is encouraged to do this by his wife and by some cryptic statements made by three witches.

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.

In Act II of Macbeth, some events that go against the natural order of things include the regicide committed by Macbeth, who murders King Duncan, a divine-right monarch. Macbeth also disturbed the natural order by killing sleeping men, which goes against the ancient code of honor in warfare. Furthermore, Macbeth's hallucinations and paranoia disrupt the balance of his mind, leading to irrational and violent actions.
The historical record hasn't indicated when Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] was born. But his father, Findlaech mac Ruaidri, died in 1020. So sometime during that year would have been the latest that Macbeth would have been born. Macbeth was King of Scotland for 17 years, 1040-1057. He succeeded King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], who had been killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified and unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands. King Duncan was the immediate successor to King Malcolm II [d. November 25, 1034]. Malcolm had ruled since 1005. Something significant about the three kings during Macbeth's life was their relationship to each other. Macbeth's mother was Malcolm's daughter or granddaughter. Duncan's parents were Crinan [d. 1045], Hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld; and Bethoc, Malcolm's eldest daughter. So Macbeth's and Duncan's mothers were related as sisters or as niece and aunt. Some sources even have identified Bethoc as the wife first to Macbeth's father, and then to Duncan's.
Image and Irony are some examples of figurative devices on Macbeth, a playwright by William Shakespeare. In this line by a lady in Macbeth for example says: 'The raven himself is hoarse, the croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan' in which the word raven suggests a sensation in fixing the hones of those people who had been enforced and Duncan is going to his fate.
At least partly. Macbeth would never have committed the murder if she hadn't pushed him into doing it. But she would never have done it if there hadn't been someone she could push. They were both necessary.
