The king was but livestock, given to the next in line. His death was a tragedy, but another arose from it. chaos uprooted justice, and bit by corrupted bit, the monarch transformed.
A demon came from the monarch, just as a saint had come from the king. However, since the king was ill livestock, the monarch would drop like a rock.
Hail Macduff! Hail the one who hath slain a most fearsome demon!
inspired by Macbeth. I was thinking along the lines of talking about solely Duncan, and how he was just livestock to feed Macbeth's upcoming reign.
