Why does Macbeth hesitate to kill Duncan?
Macbeth hesitates to kill Duncan because he has a change of mind. He begins thinking about the fact that Duncan has recently honored him by promoting him to the position of Thane of Cawdor. Likewise he reflects that if you get power by violence you set an example for someone who wants to get rid of you. Also, the King is not only his king but also his cousin. And there is an ancient taboo against harming guests in your house. And besides, if it were ever known what he did, there would be a huge outcry because Duncan is such an agreeable old buffer. And against all of this, what can Macbeth think of to encourage him to kill Duncan? Just the chance of becoming king. Big deal.
