The final moment of the play, after Malcolm's speech, could bring out three different interpretations: (1) that there will now be peace and harmony in Scotland; (2) that Malcolm will not be strong enough to prevent civil war from breaking out; (3) that Malcolm will himself prove to be a tyrant.

Also one of William Shakespeare's signature ways to end his plays was to have a character of social significance, not necessarily one that was significant in the plot

What is Macbeth doing while lady Macbeth is talking in the beginning of act 2 scene 1?

In Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth is onstage and Lady Macbeth is not. I think Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 5 is heading back to his castle called "Inverness" to talk to his wife (Lady Macbeth) about what happened with the witches and to come back from the war that just happened. Possibly you were thinking of Act 2 Scene 2 where she is talking and he is stabbing Duncan.


What country invades Scotland at the end of Macbeth play?

At the end of the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', Scotland was at war with England. The first act had begun with the defensive war of Scotland under King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] against invading Norwegians and traitorous Scotsmen. So too did the last act begin with the defensive war of Scotland under Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] against invading Englishmen and discontented Scotsmen.


What redeeming qualities does Macbeth have?

If we look at the situation through the eyes of the Elizibethan audience that would be watching Macbeth, then yes, the end is very justified. To that audience, the natural order of things is very important, and during Macbeth, the order God created is severely disrupted. Once the Great Chain of being is disturbed and the tyrant Macbeth becomes King, all order seems to be lost. To the Elizibethan audience, the fact that innocent people are being killed is extremely upseting and by the end, justice must be served. In the way that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth die after perpetual suffering, and a good King, Malcolm, is appointed, justice is served and God's Natural Order is restored

Where is Duncan heading and why is this important in Macbeth?

After the successful battle at the beginning of Act I, Duncan rewards Macbeth for being a war hero by giving him the title Thane of Cawdor. In the same scene (Act I Scene 4) he rewards Malcolm for no particular reason with the title Prince of Cumberland, and then says, "From hence to Inverness, and bind us further to you." Inverness is the city where Macbeth lives, and Duncan is in effect saying, "Hey guys, the party's at the Macbeths'!" This is significant because it will put him in range of Lady Macbeth, who will be the death of him.
