Comment on Macbeth's thoughts and feelings regarding the plan to murder king Duncan.

I agree with the above post. Macbeth is definitely torn
between what is right and wrong with the killing of King Duncan. In fact, Macbeth has
even changed his mind about killing King Duncan. He shares with Lady Macbeth his
sentiments, stating that they will not proceed with the
murder:

We
will proceed no further in this business.
He has recently honored me, and I
now have the
Golden opinions from all sorts of people,
Which I want
to enjoy for a bit longer, and
Not cast them aside so
soon.

Macbeth seems content
to be honored as Thane of Cawdor. He expresses his decision to not kill King Duncan to
Lady Macbeth, declaring that the two of them will not proceed any further in the
murdering of King Duncan. He is content with the honors that King Duncan has bestowed
upon him.

At this point, Macbeth has clearly changed his
mind about murdering King Duncan. Then Lady Macbeth begins challenging his manhood. She
manipulates his feelings by asking him if he is afraid to kill
Duncan:

Are
you afraid
To be the same man in reality
As the one you wish to be?
Would you have the crown
Which you believe to be the ornament of
life,
And yet live like a coward in your own
self-esteem,

Lady Macbeth
pressures Macbeth. She will not take no for an answer. She begins playing with Macbeth's
emotions. She causes Macbeth to begin thinking about murdering King Duncan. Of course,
he has his doubts still and questions the actual killing of King
Duncan:

If we should
fail?

Once again, Macbeth is
contemplating the murder of King Duncan. However, he is uncertain that the action will
be completed without failing somehow. To answer his question of failing, Lady Macbeth
has the answer:

We fail!
Only dig deep for your
courage,
And we'll not
fail.

Macbeth is now thinking
about proceeding with the murder of King Duncan. Lady Macbeth has clearly convinced him
to proceed. He gives in to her and commits to the murdering of King
Duncan:

I’m
convinced, and I commit
Every part of my body to this terrible
event.

Now, Macbeth is
convinced. Lady Macbeth has worked on his emotions and his reasoning. He is now
convinced to follow through with the murdering Of King Duncan. Lady Macbeth has won him
over with her mainpulation of his manhood.
