Compare And Contrast Macbeth And Lady Macduff

Every character in Macbeth has their own unique personalities and traits that differ them from the other characters in the novel. For example, Macduff has several inner and outer traits that represent himself as a character and dictates how he acts and looks. Judging from his actions and what other characters say about him we can infer what he could look like and what he would wear. When Macduff fled to England to try to convince Malcolm to return to Scotland and assist him, he is told that they should just sit around and cry their hearts out but Macduff says, “Let us rather hold fast the mortal sword and, like good men, bestride our downfall’n birthdom.”

She is very upset over the fact that he is leaving home, not because she feels it is cowardly, rather because she knows that he is her protector and her one true love and without him she is lacking. This is an obvious difference between Lady Macduff and Lady Macbeth, which helps to highlight the personality of Lady Macbeth.
