To What Extent is Macbeth pushed into killing mogul Duncan?Numerous huge deal and incidentors push Macbeth into killing the king. The main factors are&61656 lady Macbeth&61656 The Witches and Fate&61656 magnate Duncan&61656 Banquo&61656 Himself (Macbeth)I start with probably the just about influential character upon Macbeth, his wife, Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth believes what the witches have said and therefore believes that she will become the queen. &8216 bewilder I thought good to deliver thee&8217She obviously has a with child(p) ambition and will do almost anything to fulfil her ambition. This shows a great sliminessness in her&8216And dashed the brains out&8217She is also reluctant to buy up Macbeths original thought of leaving the idea al single&8216What beast was&8217t then that make you break this enterprise to me&8217She appears supremely confident about(predicate) murdering Duncan even though Macbeth is non which also shows of her great ambition to make headwa y and become queen of Scotland.&8216We Fail? &8230 But screw your courage&8230 and we&8217ll non fail&8217Lady Macbeth plans the murder from a very early storey even when Macbeth is unsure of what he is to do&8216When Duncan is asleep&8230 his spongy officers, who shall save the guilt of our great quell?Overall Lady Macbeths ambition, confidence and naivety is perhaps the major factor in pushing Macbeth into the murder of Duncan. She does not think of the consequences of the murder so she is 100% behind Macbeth killing Macbeth, which makes it strong for Macbeth to go against her.Another factor is Banquo. The fact that Banquo knows of what the &8216imperfect speakers&8217 said is a major factor pushing Macbeth away from killing the King. If the King were to be murdered Banquo would be suspicious and would most likely suspect Macbeth of doing the evil deed of killing the king. This would obviously put Macbeth off.Another factor is that of the Witches. Without them Macbeth would mo st likely not think twice about killing the king. &8216 each(prenominal) hail Macbeth, that shalt be king thereafter&8217If someone were to just dissever him this he would most likely not believe it but it was the fact that the witches had forecasted that he would be Thane of Cawdor and Thane of Glamis correctly.The witches forced him to think about being king but at first he expected to be made king without doing anything for it but he then realises there is only one way, to kill the king. This encounter with the witches has put him in two minds.
