Detailed explanation-1: -And falls on th’ other. In this moment, Macbeth decides that he cannot spur himself to action or make himself commit the murder. He acknowledges that the only thing that would be able to motivate him to act at all would be his own ambition.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Macbeth hesitates to kill Duncan because he has a change of mind. He begins thinking about the fact that Duncan has recently honored him by promoting him to the position of Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth explains to Lady Macbeth that he has decided not to kill King Duncan.
Detailed explanation-3: -He then considers the reasons why he ought not to kill Duncan: Macbeth is Duncan’s kinsman, subject, and host; moreover, the king is universally admired as a virtuous ruler. Macbeth notes that these circumstances offer him nothing that he can use to motivate himself.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth believes he needs to kill King Duncan because he sees the king’s son, Malcolm, as a threat to the throne. Macbeth has already felt confused about whether he needs to leave the Witches’ prophecy in the hands of fate or do some “dark” deeds to help their prophecies along.
