Macbeth. Also, if his actions made it worse or better. I will also tell you on my opinion of what kind of person I think Duncan is.
I feel as if Duncan’s speeches aren’t very helpful and that people do not care to listen to what Duncan has to say. I also feel as if Duncan feels like he is better than everyone else and some people like Macbeth do not like that very well. Duncan’s actions make it worse in my opinion because he does not always pick the best actions to use. I think Duncan is kind of a snobby person a more stuck up kind of guy, and those people just do not make good people in general. Those are the kind of people that a lot of people do not like

    The Captain, who was at the scene of the battle, describes Macbeth with high praise- ‘For brave Macbeth… Like Valour’s minion carved out his passage’ which suggests that Macbeth fights like bravery personified and doesn’t let anything get in his way. When he faced Macdonald, he ‘ne’er shook hands, not bade farewell to him’ showing that he didn’t waste time and knew his job in the battle. Although the fact he ‘unseamed [Macdonald] from the nave to th’chaps’ is supposed to show his bravery in killing Macdonald, it shows Macbeth as a ruthless killer. This creates mixed feelings from the audience because they either feel he is a brave solider or he is a barbaric murderer. From the descriptions of Macbeth from Ross and the Captain, Duncan seems very impressed.…
