Best Answer

People hated Macbeth because he killed the king Duncan (the king of Scotland) so that he could become the king as the witches prophecy had mentioned and then Duncan's grooms and Banquo and who knows how many more. Even if they did not suspect him of all those crimes (and we know from Lennox's speech in Act 3 Scene 6 that at least some of them did), they could not help feel the oppressive atmosphere caused by Macbeth's paranoia. He keeps a "servant fee'd" in every house to spy on people and turn them in if they grumble about Macbeth.

All in all it was like living under Stalin.

At the beginning of Macbeth, Macbeth was a hero of Scotland, a brave, victorious warrior. But, by the end, Macbeth had become a tyrannous, evil king.
