How Is Macduff A Noble Person

In modern translation, Malcolm has finally settled with the fact that Macduff is truly loyal to him and believes that he can be a better king than Macbeth. This quote is an inner trait that shows Macduff is a trustworthy and honorable person so much that Malcolm trusts him to take back Scotland from

Before Macbeth meets with Macduff, he thinks of ways to handle Macduff so he would no longer be a problem. Macduff was considered to be a problem because he left the kingdom in order to assist an opposing force. Macbeth states “Then live, Macduff: what need I fear of thee? But yet I’ll make assurance double sure, and take a bond of fate.” (Act IV scn i, ln 82-84) He wants to make sure Macduff will not be a problem; he wants to keep Macduff out of his way. In this scene Macbeth is attempting to discover ways to inforce his superiority through the phrase “The castle of Macduff I will surprise; seize upon Fife; give to th’ edge o’ th’ sword his wife, his babies, and all unfortunate souls.” (Act IV scn i, ln 150-152) He hired men to kill Macduff’s family, so he will be depressed and will grieve; he wants to keep Macduff out of the way of him still being King. The main reason he did this, however, was to exert his leadership over Macduff and send a message. This paragraph explains how Macbeth was disloyal to Macduff and how he did anything to keep Macduff out of his way, but things did not turn out as he

While Macduff is in England, Macbeth learns of the abandonment of Macduff's family and resolves to have them murdered. When Macduff learns of the murder of his family, he is motivated by Malcolm to get revenge. It is this that pushes Macduff to the edge and forces him to go after Macbeth himself. The power of Malcolm's taunting that he must take it like a man and his own love for his family makes him hate Macbeth to the fullest extent, and eventually he succeeds in killing him.

Macduff is also a character that deals with guilt. He is guilty of leaving his entire family behind in Scotland which is eventually why they are killed. He uses this guilt to drive him to bring Macbeth down. If Macduff would have thought to bring his wife and children they wouldn't have died. This shows that every action has consequences and those consequences must be taken into consideration.

Macduff’s burning desire for revenge towards Macbeth was encouraged by many forces. As it is known, Macbeth murders Duncan which causes Malcolm to flee to England because he fears for his life. Following Duncan’s death, Macduff was the first to discover Duncan dead, and it can be inferred that he was so angry and mortified that it sparks apprehensiveness towards Macbeth’s acquiring the throne. As he realizes that he does not agree with Macbeth’s reign, he decides to leave his family behind in Fife to go to England to find Malcolm, the true heir to the throne. His plan is to conspire with Malcolm to build an army against Macbeth. Macduff was so loyal to Scotland and the true ruler that he was willing to abandon his family in the process of freeing Scotland from tyranny. As he meets with Malcolm, Ross delivers the news that

He tries to make Macduff believe that he will be a worse tyrant than Macbeth. Macduff replies, "Not in the legions of horrid hell can come a devil more damned in evils, to top Macbeth. However Malcolm continues with the words, "but I have none: the king - becoming graces as justice, verity, temperance…," At this point Macduff feels Malcolm could be a worse tyrant than Macbeth and could not compare with Duncan, a 'Most sainted king.' Malcolm then reveals that he has been testing Macduff. Malcolm then withdraws all he has said about himself.

She lived where most people would make fun of, but it never got to her since that was her home and she never tried to hide where she lived either. She was a friendly person and would often be complimented because of her smile. She didn't have the best family in the world, but at least she had one. She loved to sing and manipulate other people's voices. She indeed felt her passion was for writing, she could do it for days and days and days.

Macduff's only ambition is to kill Macbeth, the man who has murdered his wife and children. He has no interest in personal gain and is the first character in the play to understand that Fortune rules you, you don't rule Fortune. This is a certain indicator that he'll be the one to take down the tyrant, who is always challenging

This refusal to go celebrate his new Kings coronation is a very big deal considering the time period of the play. Kings were viewed as second to only god in the great chain of being and to not show up to a coronation shows complete disrespect from Macduff. Macduff is the only nobleman not to go, showing how he is different from the rest and the only one suspecting Macbeth may be the culprit. This unique ability Macduff carries foreshadows his tenacious opposing force against Macbeth later in the play.

Another flaw of Macbeth’s readers can learn from was his internal conflict and jealousy of anyone who could possibly come in between him and crown. Macbeth was often threatened by other people who could possibly take the crown from him. The first time the reader can see this jealousy arise was when Macduff said, “Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter, Prince of Cumberland;” (1.4.38-39). Macbeth’s first reaction was to fear the whole family line of Macduff. This intimidation lead to one of Macbeth’s most careless destructive decision when he

Only after learning that Macduff has fulfilled the last of the witches' prophecies does Macbeth's ambition again change to passivity and unwillingness.  Macduff's taunt ("Then yield thee, coward" (V, viii, 23) is the only thing that arouses the last of Macbeth's ambition before he agrees to fight to the death:  "I will not yield,/To kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet,/And to be baited with the rabble's curse" (27-29).

Although a great majority of the time, power corrupts decisions, it also can have a positive effect on choices. In the play Macbeth, one character who keeps in mind what is best for the people is Malcolm. As the son of King Duncan, Malcolm has virtuous morals and realizes that Macbeth is only in it for power instead of thinking of what is best for the people of Scotland. Malcolm makes a choice to fight back with the help of England. His choice to fight for power, although used violence against Macbeth, was a positive decision because he was thinking of the people and his father's legacy. His success is shown when he and Macduff defeat Macbeth and Malcolm is named the new king. He exclaims to his people, “[w]e shall not spend a large expense of time/ before we reckon with your several loves/ and make us even with you” (5.8.72-4). Only seconds after being named king, Malcolm is thinking of how he will reward his people. This proves

Centuries after the fall of the Roman empire and decades of invasion and violence by the Vikings, North Africans and Magyars, had resulted to a turbulent and violent period spanning several generations in Europe. From this unstable period a warrior society that revolved around castles and rule through arbitrary violence emerged throughout Europe as feudalism. The conflict of outside forces caused a revolution of public justice, the use of indiscriminate violence based lordship that empowered this warrior class. This elite class took control over the rural, agricultural civilizations that had developed and implemented a feudal system. Knighthood emerged in the wake of this feudal society and was defined by battle prowess, war fare, and later in the wake of the crusades holy war. The primary motivations being the multiplication of knights and castles and the crusades and large scale national wars for power and influence in Europe, the Mediterranean and the middle east. Thusly ideals of chivalry were created as a code of conduct between fellow knights, the need for which arose as the knights began interacting and fighting alongside and against one another during. Chivalry was consequently built on ideals of honor, retribution, success in warfare based within the Christian ideals of Holy War. The accounts of Geoffrey of Villehardouin [1150-1212] who chronicles the conquest of Constantinople and John

Sir James Douglas was a man of authority. He was skillful in his trades of business, being noted to have studied the “Indian character”, industry, politics, and selling methods in the first year of his arrival to Canada. Nevertheless, he was known to be a snobbish dictator amongst his opponents. However, I believe that Sir James Douglas was a hero; At a young age, Douglas was hired as an agent for the fur trading company, Hudson’s Bay. He was proficient at his job and was vexatious towards the governor at the time, Richard Blanshard. When the colony of British Columbia was created, Douglas was appointed governor. He had a large amount of power and a large amount of territory. This territory was a prime spot for gold, especially during the gold

Meanwhile in England, Macduff defends the moral integrity of Malcolm's lineage - a beacon of hope for the good people and a contrasting image to that of the Macbeths.
