Previously, Macbeth wanted to back out in killing Duncan because he favors and respects him but after being manipulated by Lady Macbeth and be blinded by the predictions of the witches, his desires for the throne grow fonder. In line 79-80 Macbeth said that “I am settled and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat.” (p.95) In the end, Macbeth finally decided to kill Duncan and go along with his wife’s plan to prove his manhood and achieve their greatest ambition.
