If Macbeth didn't kill

If Macbeth didn't take things into his own hands and go out and kill for power the entire play would be different. First off, if Macbeth just let things be and didn't gain power at other peoples expense but rather through bettering himself, the play wouldn't be nearly as interesting. The entire play shows how he slowly gets more and more paranoid killing people left and right, without the paranoia, there would be a very different mood to the play. There would also be a very different tone because Shakespeare would be talking about a different subject matter and thus the theme would also be different. Most of these things (tone, mood...) would just be the reciprical of what they are in the original play. For instance the tone would be working hard is the right way to do things rather than ambition could lead to your demise.
