Cluin, I always thought Macbeth's remorse revealed how perfectly spiritless a snake he was. It went something like--to kill? sure, good career move, okay but to kill ...a guest? Gad. I don't know, it seems poor manners, bad form, somehow, rather rude. Or at least I saw it acted in a way that struck in that direction, and Macbeth seemed like any shallow, ambitious, yuppie.

But nobody ever notices that Hamlet could and did act, killed the King, as far as a question of his character goes. It's only an accident it turned out to be Polonius.

People read things differently, plays and events. Still hope it won't turn out Titus (horrible and bloody) in the Coriolanus (in the end).
