Your highness’ part is to receive our duties: and our duties are to your throne.”(1.4.22-25) This is another important quote in the play, because it focuses more on Macbeth’s loyalty and what he should be doing rather than his ambitions. Macbeth says that his service and loyalty are better than enough pay when the king told him that he wished he could give him more. Macbeth then tells the king that he only needs to give Macbeth a duty and he will do it. Everything that Macbeth said there was loyal, which he most likely why the king made him thane of Cawdor and thane of Fife. Macbeth should have been loyal to the king instead of betraying him and killing him in his sleep, because he would have lived and better and more happy life. When Macbeth says that his service and loyalty pays itself, he is showing his manhood and being loyal. Macbeth could have just accepted his prize and left, instead he thanked the king and told him that he enjoys working for him. Macbeth’s loyalty to the king helped him gain the king’s trust and have him come over to his home. This developed the play, because macbeth couldn’t have killed the king if he didn’t stay at Macbeth’s home. The king would have never wanted to visit Macbeth’s home if he didn’t seem so loyal and Macbeth would have never had the chance to kill him. Leadership is the most important, theme in The Tragedy of Macbeth, because the play could not develop without it.
