In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth had a hard time dealing with his criminal act against King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. One reason was his reluctance, his lack of total commitment to carrying it out. He felt there were many reasons for not killing his sovereign; and only one reason, which wasn't a good one, for going through with it. Also, the heinous act went against his beliefs, everything that Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] had built his career upon: defense of king and country. Additionally, Macbeth wasn't convinced of his having to do something in order for the kingship to fall into his lap. Before meeting up with the three witches, his wildest ambitions undoubtedly had had limits. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been shocked and fearful of the witches' predictions of his career moves into the thaneship of Cawdor and then the kingship of Scotland. Once the thaneship unexpectedly fell into his lap, he asked if the kingship too wouldn't be his also because of destiny, due, and right.
