Duncan, Good man, but not great king as toogullible. Evidece mistrusting Macbeth andjudging the castle as pleasant
Banquo would have made agood king 'royalty of nature'
Macbeth unworthy king. Regicide, a tyrant,whose cruelty drains the life blood from his country:"each new morn, new widows howl, new orphanscry."
Malcom Duncan's son Malcolm is depicted as the perfect king. In his testing ofMacduff, he lists the "kingbecoming graces", such as justice, verity,temperance, mercy, lowliness etc., showing his awareness of how a king shouldbe. He has his father's noble character but without Duncan's fatal flaw ofgullibility.
