They also prophesized that Banquo would father a line of kings but would not be one himself. After being rewarded for his loyalty and unbounded courage and bravery with the title Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth believed that he would be king despite the fact that Malcolm (Duncan’s son) was named heir.

From Healy and Bronner’s study we can come to the conclusion that Noel had not made an emotional attachment to a ‘good parent’, hence impeding the development of a superego.
