To murder the king, of course. The idea came to him at once when the witches hailed him as king, but he did his best to stamp it down, knowing that it was wrong and that it wasn't worth it.

What scene in Macbeth does the song roll away your stones relate to?

Act I, Scene 4. Macbeth's line "Stars, hide your fires. Let not light see my black and deep desires." is sort of quoted in the song. The song lyric goes, "Stars, hide your fires, these here are my desires".


What thoughts about Duncan does Macbeth have that conflict with his ''black and deep desires?

Macbeth, before the murder, can never fully reconcile his desire for the throne--which is strongly encouraged on, if not coerced, by his ambitious wife--and the murder of an old man, a man who has been supportive and generous towards Macbeth, who has never used or abused Macbeth in any way. Macbeth daydreams of being king, but is afraid of the steps towards it--a brutal murder, falsely accusing the retainers in the king's death, the possibility that he will no be believed by his peers. Regicide is a crime, but it is made more terrible when the man killed was a good and just mentor undeserving of the act.

After hearing that malcome is duncans chocie as heir to the throne Macbeth wants the stars to hide there light so that his black deep desires will not be seen to what is he referring?

The "black and deep desires" he is talking about is the temptation to hurry along Duncan's death so he can become king quicker. At this point because Duncan has nepotistically named his son as his favoured heir, and so it looks like Macbeth won't become king just by waiting for it. The temptation is to help the prophecy along.
