Macbeth would not be satisfied with his current title.

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's, 'Macbeth', the witches predicted that Macbeth would become the king. Macbeth then gets worried about his role and thinks that how could he make the prediction true. He was extremely ambitious to gain power. He was loyal to the king but wanted the power also. He was suffering from internal conflict regarding the same.

But, if he did not hear the witches prediction, he would not have been satisfied with what he did and his current title. He committed a murder which is a sin. He tried to take Duncan's place and would constantly feel about how loyal he was to the king, still he murdered him.
