If Macbeth was Good
If Macbeth did good things in life and actually earned his title and things he strived for then there wouldn't be a sense of questioning and struggle between good and bad. The readers feel for Macbeth and his tortured soul because we have all been down the path of choosing between what we want to do and taking the easy way to get it and the route of working hard. It is such a relatable subject matter, not the killing, but the idea of questioning yourself and what you really want and what you are willing to do to get it. The plot would revolve around Macbeth and him being this good guy who does the right things all the time and he would always triumph over the bad because that's how life works but really thats boring and not a tragedy. Macbeth wouldn't have died in the end from his bad deeds and no killing or action would have happened and everyone would have lived happily ever after and that wouldn't have been a historical play to last to where we are now. If he earned his title than there wouldn't be paranoia to take it away and justice would not have ever been served.
