Would the play be complete if it ended with macbeth's death but omitted these lines 35-75?
Line numbers are not very helpful because they are different from edition to edition of the play. If what you mean is, "Could the play Macbeth end at the moment Macduff cuts off Macbeth's head?", then, the answer is, yes it could. Producers of Shakespearean productions frequently cut lines and passages from the plays to get the running time down to something a modern audience can put up with. The play might well end at that point, and leave out Macduff's report to Malcolm, his line "The time is free", hailing Malcolm king of Scotland, Malcolm's creation of English earls instead of Scottish thanes, and his invitation to come to his coronation. Artistically, the play may not feel as satisfying if you end with a fade to black when Macduff's sword hacks off Macbeth's head. Macduff needs to underline the fact that Macbeth is dead and his reign of terror is over. At the very least, Macduff must say "Behold where stands the usurper's cursed head. The time is free!" If you end the play there, you allow the audience to forget about the question, "What happens next?" Having Malcolm hailed as king reminds the audience of the weakness of his character, and that in some ways he may prove a worse king than Macbeth (or, if his character is built up, would reinforce the relief felt that Macbeth is dead). The creation of earls is important in a reading of the play that sees Malcolm as an English-backed Anglophile bent on destroying the indigenous Scottish customs. But if you marginalize the character of Malcolm throughout the play, it would be consistent to end the play with "the time is free".
