This can be proved by the subsequent murders that followed after Duncan's, why were these committed? Because Macbeth was scared of being caught and having to pay for the wrongs he had done.

Whatever Steinbeck s intent for writing such a jarring ending, he leaves the reader with a powerful sense of the world s immorality.
