which lines in this excerpt from act 1 scene v11 of macbeth imply that macbeth considered duncan a good man

Besides, this Duncan

Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been

So clear in his great office, that his virtues

Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" revolves around the story of how Macbeth propels himself to be the King of Scotland. But despite being king, he would also bring about his downfall in the end.

Act I scene vii of the play reveals Macbeth's reluctance, at some point, about killing Duncan. But if he did not do that, then the throne will not be his. So, pressurized by his wife, he did the deed of killing Duncan and putting the blame on the chamberlains.

But, the opening scene shows Macbeth revealing his true opinion of the King. He admits "Besides, this Duncan

Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been

So clear in his great office, that his virtues

Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against".

These lines reveal how Macbeth considered Duncan to be a good man, whose virtues will speak for him even in the afterlife.
