Macbeth feels prussured into doing it, he is not completley sure. He has doubts and has confllicts within him. Once he has killed duncan he is shaky, and somewhat scared. He realizes it was probably not the best thing to do and feels like a murderer.

Throughout Act I, Macbeth is debating in his head whether he should kill Duncan or not. One of the reasons he is worried is because this event could be a onetime thing, it cannot fail once he starts it. The disadvantage he brings up through his speech is that he is his kinsman, his subject and also he was the one who invited him to the castle. Macbeth also worries that whether it would be right to assassinate Duncan when he is defenceless, because if Macbeth does so it would not make him a proud man.

Macbeth is pressured into killing Duncan because Lady Macbeth forces him to do it. He is not really comfortable in doing this. After killing Duncan he is not sure what he has done, he is not sure if it was the right thing to do.

Macbeth is always debating with himself about killing Duncan or not. He questions his thoughts and in many times he doubts that is a good idea. However, he has Lady Macbeth in the back pressuring him to do it. Although he doubts and worries all the times, he knows he was to do it in order to fulfill the witches prophecies.
