Detailed explanation-1: -➢Upon hearing of the noble manner in which the traitor Cawdor faced his death, Duncan echoes the main theme of the play when he declares that “There’s no art/To find the mind’s construction in the face.” This emphasizes Duncan’s greatest weakness-his inability to judge character.
Detailed explanation-2: -One major shortcoming of King Duncan is that he trusts people very quickly. This is evident in 1.4 of Macbeth because Duncan says, “He was a gentleman on whom I build an absolute trust.” This shows that Duncan fully trusted Cawdor and Cawdor used his trust, which is why he is getting executed.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Macbeth, Shakespeare shows us three very different leaders. Duncan is not a good king as although he is kind and generous, he is weak.
Detailed explanation-4: -Duncan is the King of Scotland. He has two sons, Malcolm and Donalbain. He trusts Macbeth and honours him with a new title and a visit to his castle.
