In Act Two, we find Macbeth at his castle with King Duncan there. Macbeth has hatched a plot to kill the king and seize the throne for himself. But Macbeth is having a hard time going through with it. He is loyal to the king, so killing him would be a stab in the back. Also, he because Thane of Cawdor without having to intervene at all, so why should he have to kill Duncan to become king. All of these thoughts are racing through Macbeth's head up to very moment he decides to murder Duncan.
I like how you summerized how Macbeth didn't want to kill King Duncan and you pointed out how he wrestles with the thought of the murder and how he realy have a chance to not go through with the deed. The one thing you should have put in was how he realized that once he goes through with it there is realy no turning back.
