Macbeth Murder Reason Essay, Research Paper

Macbeth being murdered by Macduff represents the finale of Macbeth. The murder

itself marks the end of a long struggle for power between the good (Malcolm,

Macduff), and the evil (Macbeth). Many events hinted to the reason for Macduff

murdering Macbeth. The murder of Macbeth was an inevitable act that was bound to

happen. One of these events was prophecy of the three sister witches. Throughout

the whole novel, everything that they had prophesized, had become reality. When

they stated that no man born of a woman would kill Macbeth, they knew that that

excluded Macduff, because he was born by C- section. It was only fitting that

Macduff kill Macbeth because he was the only one who was not born of a woman.

Also, this had to happen because the witches had supernatural powers that made

it possible. The Weird sister let Macbeth choose his path. In other words, it

was fate that made this possible. Another reason for Macduff murdering Macbeth

was that Macbeth had ordered the killing of Macduff?s family. This reason was,

in my opinion, the most important one. Upon hearing that his family had been

killed, Macduff become very emotional. Also, his anger towards Macbeth grew once

he found out that it was Macbeth was the one who ordered the killing. The

killing of his family caused Macduff to risk his life to get his revenge against

Macbeth. Additional reasons for Macduff killing Macbeth was that he had to prove

his allegiance towards Malcolm and that he had to prove that apparitions

correct. Macduff knew that Malcolm was the rightful heir to the throne and he

was willing to help Malcolm get it back. Macduff is a good and moral man and he

has to do the honest thing. As for the apparitions, they had always been correct

and they had said that Macbeth should beware of Macduff. These apparitions

foretold the future and Macbeth made the mistake of not fully understanding what

they were saying. All these reasons put together, give the answer to the

question, ?Why does Macduff kill Macbeth?? There is no true explanation as

to why this happened, but each event explained gives a good reason as to why he

did it. Together they form a good argument to justify Macduff?s murdering of

Macbeth.
