Solution

The question seems to be asking about the reasons Macbeth had for not wanting to murder King Duncan in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth". Here are three reasons:

  1. Duncan was a good king and a virtuous man: Macbeth acknowledges that Duncan is a good king and has done no particular harm that warrants his murder. He says, "He’s here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself."

  2. Fear of the consequences in the afterlife: Macbeth is afraid of the spiritual consequences of killing a king appointed by God. He worries about the punishment in the afterlife for such a grave sin.

  3. Fear of the consequences in this life: Macbeth also fears that he will be caught and punished for the murder. He worries about the political and social consequences of his actions. He says, "We’d jump the life to come. But in these cases We still have judgment here, that we but teach Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return To plague the inventor."
