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
Reading Macbeth and contemplating over it, there doesn't seem to be any other way it could end seeing the turns and twists it took to reach the the finish line. With the witches playing their part and a wife like Lady Macbeth there was no other way Macbeth could have ended on a good note. Had Macbeth not fallen for his wife's manipulation in the beginning of the play then there was a chance that the play would have ended differently. The play signifies the karma. What Macbeth did came back to him in abundance so it is totally fair. He got what he deserved and for me the play ended brilliantly.

Apparently Macbeth has got wind of the fact that Macduff and Malcolm are conspiring to invite the English to invade Scotland. "And this report hath so exasperate the king that he prepares for some attempt at war."
its because Malcolm was at the right place at the right time and fleance wasn't
Woo-hoo! I get to be king now!
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.
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.
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
Macbeth was very brave at war, therefore he deserves the title of a noble, brave and worthy man. Macbeth and Banquo both won the war and were great soldiers too. All of these factors link into the reasons why Macbeth is referred to as brave. It is stated by the captain.
he means that he is the goddess of war's husband, which is the god of war..

Remember, the stamp act is the revolotinary war,1765.
It depends on what part of the play you are talking about. The bloody sergeant in Act I views him with reverence as a war hero. Angus in Act V treats him with contempt.
It set up a good thing for the civil war act at the end of the war

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.
