Duncan, (the king of England) was also killed by Macbeth. He was killed in order for Macbeth to succeed in what the witches had proposed. Duncan’s fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could turn out to be his enemies. Macbeth shows us that he is naïve. If Duncan had thought of his safety a bit more then he would have not been killed at Macbeths castle. Duncan’s flaw should have not exceeded to his death. Just because he trusted in a corrupt man he shouldn’t have had to die. Macbeth’s former best friend, Banquo, was also killed by Macbeth. His flaw, which leads to his death, was that he knew too much about Duncan’s death. But that was not his only flaw; his other flaw was that he did not tell anyone about what he knew. Banquo died because his reactions were not quick in telling people the news. Banquo knew that if he told anyone that no one would believe him, and he would be executed for being a traitor to his king, and spreading rumors. Lady Macbeth was the only reason Macbeth killed Duncan. Although she helps Macbeth get the courage to kill Duncan, she is not willing to do it herself. She uses the excuse that Duncan looks too much as her father, and she also says that he is not manly enough to do it, and that she can’t do it because she is a woman. Unlike Macbeth, Lady Macbeth found it a lot harder to live with the fact that she had helped kill the king, Duncan. In the end she can’t bear what she did, so she commits suicide. It is hard to decide whether Lady Macbeth deserved her fate or not. Although she encourages Macbeth to kill Duncan, she feels regret for that action. She also realized that what she had done was wrong. In my opinion, She realized a little too late, and she could not bring Duncan back from the dead, so she deserved her fate. Macbeth was the focus of the entire play, and that is why the play is named after him.
All of Macbeths problems start when he murder’s Duncan. He commits the murder because of his fatal flaw. His fatal flaw is that he is too ambitious. If he weren’t so ambitious and determined to be king, then he would have never killed Duncan. And if he had not done that then none of the other characters would have had to die in the play. Macbeth deserved his fate more than anyone in the play. He did many wrong things in the play. He first killed Duncan and then Banquo. After that Macbeth killed Mac duff’s family. Macbeth did not feel any remorse for what he did, until he was faced with death. I think that if Macbeth had just waited for his time he would have become an honorable king, and would have had a chance to enjoy it.
Every character in Macbeth had one fatal flaw. The 1st thane of Cawdor was a traitor. Duncan did not use the knowledge he had against Macbeth. Lady Macbeth helped plot Duncan’s murder. And Macbeth destroyed the natural order and harmony of nature, plus he felt no remorse for his actions until he was faced with death. But not all the characters in Macbeth deserved to die because of their flaws. Duncan should not have been killed for trusting somebody. Banquo would have said something, but was waiting for the right time, and to get some physical evidence.
But if Macbeth had not been so ambitious in the first place, none of the problems that occurred would have happened.
