I think that this is a very hard question to answer. I think that many kings, fictional or not, possess both the bad and good traits of being a king.
In regards to Macbeth, he certainly possessed the ambition many would wish for a king. He was brave, as noted by Duncan and the title of the Thane of Cawdor. He was protective, as noted by his murder of Banquo. Macbeth was even proud, as seen by his desire to keep the new title of Thane before taking the crown.
Unfortunately, many of the characteristics one would align with being a good king made Macbeth a bad king as well. Macbeth was too ambitious--as seen by his murdering Duncan. He was too protective--as seen by his inability to interpret the apparitions warnings in the correct way. Lastly, he was too proud--as seen by his refusal to leave the castle as Birnam Wood "moved" against him.
Like anything, one must always have control. Too much of anything normally turns out to be a bad thing. Therefore, depending upon one's individual views, Macbeth could be both a bad king or a good one.

Explanation:
Dee's decision to take the name Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo, she explains to her mother, is because she "couldn't bear it any longer, being named after the people who oppress me." The shedding of European names in favor of African or African-sounding names became popular during the civil rights and black power periods in America that occurred around the time Walker published the story.
Dee/Wangero is actively pursuing her own cultural identity as a modern African American woman, and part of the process for her involves ridding herself of her birth name. Dee/Wangero's mother likes the colorful dress and jewelry she wears, and she offers to go along with her daughter's new name. When she denies Wangero...
