Like if i just decided hey i’m going to kill the queen of england and the guards nowadays somebody would find out before i even did it and have me put in jail. Not that i’m actually going to kill the queen of england because that would be ridiculous. Also if i had to do the queen's job that would be a lot of pressure because i would never be able to do something wrong or quote unquote have real fun. I also see where Macbeth is coming from when he fought his last battle. Even though he did bad things to earn his spot of Thane of Cawdor he still worked hard for it. So i guess it would make sense that he would fight tell his last breathe for the Throne of Cawdor since he had to do a lot of really bad things to get that position. What i don’t understand is why wouldn’t you wait to be crowned instead of killing all of the people he did. Duncan did name him next in line for the throne so it would have made more sense for him to wait until Duncan either stepped down or wasn’t murdered. I know Lady Macbeth forced Macbeth to kill Duncan but that didn’t mean he needed to listen to his wife considering she was very much psycho
