MACBETH..WHO KILLED DUNCAN

Macbeth
Who Really Killed Duncan ?
Who really did kill Duncan? This has been a question asked by many historians of
Shakespeare. There are many theories that have developed over the years. Some say it was
MacDuff, Lady Macbeth, or even Duncan's own two sons. I have developed my own theory on
the death of Duncan, and am about to explain it to you.
My opinion is that Macbeth never killed Duncan. Yes he was in the room with the dagger,
but he did not have the guts to carry out the treasonist act. Macbeth was very loyal to
his king, and had no reason to kill him. Maybe he became a little ambitious after the
witches gave him his prophecy. Macbeth was not ambitious enough to sneak into Duncan's
bedroom and then actually kill the king. What really happened was Malcolm one of Duncan's
sons got to his father before Macbeth could. When Macbeth walked in to the bedroom Duncan
was already dead. Macbeth turned him over to find his wife's dagger right threw the good
kings heart. Macbeth pulls the dagger out, thinking it was his wife who had killed
Duncan, getting blood all over his hands. When Macbeth went back to his room to talk to
his wife, she didn't give him the chance to explain what he had seen, and she ran off to
frame the guards. This is when Macbeth cleaned off the dagger, put it back in its proper
place, and didn't say another word to Lady Macbeth about what he had seen. The next
morning when the king was found dead, Malcolm and Donaldbain fled to different countries
because they were scared. Macduff was supposed to find Lady Macbeth's dagger imbedded in
Duncan's body. There was no dagger whish made Malcolm very uneasy. Malcolm had a
different reason for running he was the true killer of Duncan. Donaldbain just ran
because he thought he was going to be the next one to go. Macbeth thought that his wife
was the killer, because of the dagger. Lady 
Macbeth thought that Macbeth had killed the king because of all of the blood on his hands
and clothes.
So in conclusion the death of Duncan was a true conspiracy. All of the historians are
wrong; it was not Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, or even Macduff. It was Malcolm because he was
tired of his father's ways and wanted to rule the land. He is the true killer, and
perhaps maybe one of the first great con artists.
