Moreover, it wouldn’t have been entertaining if the audience had known that the responsibility lies solely in one character from the start. However, the main question still stand, whom are the people responsible for the assassination of the King of Scotland, and how so?

This foregrounds the internal struggle Macbeth endured with his conscience that makes him a tragic hero. Supernatural elements exist to
