Explanation:

Macbeth is a play centered around themes of ambition, power, and kingship. The question "Who gets to rule and why?" directly relates to these themes. Macbeth's actions (murdering King Duncan to seize the throne) and the consequences explore the nature of rulership. The other questions ("Should we forgive those who have wronged us?" - more about morality in a general sense; "Should I marry? If so, who?" - personal life decision; "What is the meaning of life?" - a very broad philosophical question) are not as central to the core themes of Macbeth as the one about rulership.

Answer:

Who gets to rule and why?
