Divine Right of Kings

The notion of the Divine Right of Kings in the play “Macbeth” completely died out. The Divine Right of Kings is a divine right under God to rule his kingdom. The King is answerable to God alone and not to his subjects. This concept is lost in “Macbeth” because Macbeth assassinates the King. In defying the King he is also defying God. Macbeth also comes into power without the divine right of Kings. Macbeth was not granted The Divine Right of Kings. Macbeth has done things to get into power that are against Gods wishes like manipulation and murder. God has not chosen Macbeth as King, Macbeth killed Gods chosen one, and Macbeth did things against Gods teaching. Those acts are all against the Divine Right of Kings. This is why the notion of the divine right of Kings is lost in the play “Macbeth”.
