Macbeth protests to this plan, yet after Lady Macbeth uses methods such as insults and temptation, he reluctantly agrees to murder the King. Macbeth is ultimately to blame for his own actions because every murder he commits is his choice alone. While influenced by Lady Macbeth to kill the King, he not only makes the choice himself, but he also kills many more people without Lady Macbeth’s knowledge.
