Macbeth as King

Macbeth will be a greedy, selfish, and fearful and yet fearless leader because of his past actions of through indirect characteriation. Malcolm and Macduff talk of Macbeth and say how they are afraid to return because they think their wrong doings will make Macbeth look better than he is which shows the power of macbeth's persona. But when Ross comes and talks to them he says that Scotland is in rubbles and they need a true king who is not greedy or self minded to rule the kingdom which suggests that Macbeth is ruling poorly. As Ross continues to speak he hints at Macbeth's ruthlessness through his actions of slaughtering Macduff's family. Also, Macbeth will be too willing to please those around him and give in to persuasion as seen with his constant caving to Lady Macbeth and her conniving ways which is bad for the people because she has her own self interests of power in mind rather than the good for the people.
