King Duncan’s Murder
During Act I of The Tragedy of Macbeth, King Duncan was murdered. Now the question is who is to blame for this? I honestly believe that Macbeth himself is to blame for the death of Duncan. Nobody made him do it. Some people, such as the witches and Lady Macbeth, instigated the situation, but Macbeth could have easily said no. The witches would only be the ones to blame if they would have been part of the execution rather than just the messengers. Macbeth could have just ignored the witches’ prediction of him becoming King, but instead he acted on them. It was never said how Macbeth would become king, he just decided to take matters into his own hand by speeding up the process and killing Duncan. The witches told Macbeth
