Duncan clearly values loyalty – he has the first Thane of Cawdor executed and rewards Macbeth by making him the new Thane. ... Shakespeare cleverly uses loyalty as a dramatic device as well – Duncan is in the middle of talking about absolute trust (Act one, Scene four, Line 14) when Macbeth walks it from googolee :)

Loyalty and guilt are also strong themes in Macbeth. Duncan clearly values loyalty – he has the first Thane of Cawdor executed and rewards Macbeth by making him the new Thane. Macbeth also shows his guilt he is unsure before the murder and regrets it immediately after.

If I'm wrong sorryyy also you could've found this answer in google LOL
