The dagger is one of the many different reasons he believes he has to Murder Duncan. The hallucination leads him to the killing of Duncan. This is a very important part before the murder because it proves that something supernatural is controlling his influencing his mind to doing things such as murder. I expect to see further hallucinations throughout this play specifically because it seems as if these hallcinations will come everytime before Macbeth makes another move to become king.
Is the dagger his motivation or his guilt?

The dagger hallucination that Macbeth suffered was the creation of his guilt or the feeling of responsibility in killing Duncan. The dagger could also be a symbol of defence therefore the hallucination could indicate that Macbeth feels he must kill Duncan in order to defend himself from something, which could be from his guilt and fear of going crazy. The dagger could also be the trigger of his mental instability which would create another dark tragedy after words. Macbeth’s allusion to Tarquin particularly appropriate because Tarquin was the last king of Rome who was taken off because of his cruelty, which indicates that Macbeth is trying to link himself with the king because of his cruel deed of assassinating Duncan in his sleep.
