Detailed explanation-1: -King Duncan then announces his oldest son, Malcolm, as his heir to the throne. Macbeth shows his joy, says his goodbyes, and leaves. As he does, he considers what he can do to overcome Malcolm. Macbeth sees him as an obstacle in his way to becoming King, just as the witches foresaw.
Detailed explanation-2: -He is declared as Duncan’s heir at the end of the opening battle, an event that Macbeth sees as an obstacle to his ambitions. Upon Duncan’s death, Malcolm and Donalbain flee from Scotland, fearing that they will suffer a fate similar to Duncan. This is perceived as guilt, and they are blamed for Duncan’s murder.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth now realizes that Malcolm (Duncan’s son) is an obstacle in the way of him becoming king. With Malcolm alive, he will “fall down” (not have a chance).
Detailed explanation-4: -How does Macbeth react when Duncan declares his son Malcolm heir to the Scottish throne? Macbeth gets almost jealous about it & he reacts with a lot of shock and he is very surprised that he got that title over him. What do Macbeth and his wife plan to do to make the witches’ predictions come true?
Detailed explanation-5: -Macbeth struggles with the decision to murder for personal gain; ambition motivates him to commit the unthinkable. He kills Duncan, and wallows in guilt afterward. His conscience takes over, paranoia sets in, and the repercussions are endless.
