He starts out being loyal to Duncan and the troops that he commands. He is loyal to his friends (Banquo and Macbeth) and he wants to be loyal to his family. As time passes, he changes and is only loyal to his drive to power. Eventually he leaves his wife out of the plans for his making sure that he will be the one whose children will rule in the kingdom. His loyalty is limited; even after he is king, he spies on the noblemen in their houses and hires murderers to kill Banquo.
