In this paragraph I will explain about the three witches that met Macbeth and banquo after the battle. The reason I believe that they came to see Macbeth was that they new he was evil deep down, and also they new if they said he was going to be king then he would then try anything to become king. The witches also new that Macbeth was unable to control his feelings and would do what he wanted. By the witches saying that he was going to be king then he wanted this and would consider taking any action to become king. I believe that those three witches played a major part in the killing of King Duncan. The first hint of this is when they all start mentioning all hail Macbeth; this means that Macbeth will soon be a very important in terms of Scotland, for example being king of Scotland. Because the witches said this, it triggered off the idea of Macbeth ever becoming the king so quickly. If the witches were not to have met Macbeth then his wife might not been so confident that Macbeth should be the king.
In this first paragraph I will be explaining how his wife lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth to murder his king. Lady Macbeth uses several methods which are very devious. The first way she does this is by accusing Macbeth of being a liar “live coward in thine own”, she is saying hear that he said he would kill Macbeth but he has changed his mind. Another major method was emotional blackmail, doing this by questioning if he really loves her “from this time such I question your love”, in this quote she was trying to say that she does not really believe that he loves her, and the only way to change her mind is by killing Duncan. She says in one section of the book that he is not a man as such but more of some one who is scared to make a risk, even though this is not true considering he has killed 100’s of people in battle, “be such more a man”, this would make Macbeth feel really bad. She also presents plan which she thinks is invincible and cannot be caught if they used it “what cannot you and I perform unguarded Duncan”. The last major crafty way she persuades him is by comparing her strength of mind and saying she is more of a man that he is “I have sworn as you have done this. By Lady Macbeth saying all this it causes Macbeth to feel really bad. Over all I think that lady Macbeth played a large part in the persuasion of Macbeth killing king Duncan.
In this paragraph I will explain about how Macbeth already wanted to be king. Macbeth has always wanted to be king other wise he would complete ignore what the witches and his wife said. I believe that Macbeth wanting to be a king all along and it plays a very big part in him killing the king of Scotland Duncan.
In this paragraph I will conclude this essay. I believe that if one of the three were missing then Macbeth would never have killed the king. I think the most important part was his wife persuading him. I think this because if he really loves his wife he would kill the king whether he wants to be king or not. I think that out o all of the three that the witches was the weakest reason for Macbeth killing the king.
