The Importance Of The Punishment Of Donalbain

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

The armies are started in England, where Malcolm, Duncan's son, is residing. He has fled there after the murder of Duncan for fear of being next. Malcolm has been blamed for the murder his father because he had disappeared shortly after. Macduff is the first person to believe that Malcolm is not the murderer, and so he goes to England to encourage Malcolm to fight against Macbeth's tyranny. Malcolm believes that Macduff had been sent by Macbeth, and tests Macduffs loyalty to Scotland by describing himself as an unworthy king. Macduff then passes the test by getting angry and agreeing that maybe Malcolm is not fit to even live, let alone rule Scotland. Macduff's love of Scotland has driven him to fight against the ruin of it, which proves to be a great motivation in the end.

They enter the castle in scene seven and Macduff seeks out Macbeth, ignoring all other beings there. "Let me find him, Fortune! And more I beg not" (5.7). They finally meet and Macbeth tells him to leave, as he already has so much of his blood. Macduff says that he has no words for him and that he will let his sword be his voice. Macduff then tells Macbeth that his prophecy does not protect from him, as he had to be removed from his mother by C-section and thusly is not “Woman-born”. He then fights Macbeth to the death. He reappears in scene nine with Macbeth’s head and announces that Malcolm is now the king of Scotland.

Act 1 Scene 4 King Duncan receives Macbeth and Banquo with appreciation for their achievements towards the success if the battle. King Duncan announces that his eldest son Malcolm would inherit the throne from him and be called King of Scotland after him ‘Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter

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

Macbeth is of a brave and capable warrior initially the first time that we see him. However, once we see Macbeth and the three witches together, we begin to realize that his physical courage is joined by a consuming mind boggling ambition and a tendency to self-doubt. The crusade’s mission is to place the rightful king, Malcolm, on the throne, but Macduff also desires vengeance for Macbeth’s murder of Macduff’s wife and young son. Macbeth is easily tempted into murder to fulfill his ambitions to the throne. Once he commits his first crime and is crowned King of Scotland. When Macduff finds out that Macbeth killed Duncan he plans to kill Macbeth and take his head to Malcolm. Banquo helped Duncan to claim victory over Norway and to become the Thane of Cawdor. They all are loyal to Duncan at some point, although Macduff and Banquo are doing the right things for Duncan, Macbeth is thinking of himself and is doing things so he will be the new King of Scotland. Macbeth is the play’s villain because he is betraying Duncan and trying to hide everything so he will be king.

The motivations of Duncan, Macbeth, and Malcolm are all different. Macbeth is motivated by greed, power, ambition, and his wife. Lady Macbeth questions Macbeth’s manhood and calls him a coward. In contrast, Malcolm and Duncan want what is right for the people and for Scotland. They want everything to be just and they are noble men. For example, “Macduff, this noble passion, / Child of integrity, hath from my soul / Wiped the black scruples, reconciled my thoughts / To thy good truth and honor” (Shakespeare IV.iii.116-119). This proves that Malcolm cares about loyalty among his people. Malcolm's motivations for Scotland are honorable. He wants to restore peace and trust in Scotland. Also, Malcolm wants to be a good leader and restore the heir to its rightful owner. This shows that Macbeth, Duncan, and Malcolm all have different motivations.

When Macbeth is slain, Malcolm sees it as a fresh start to the country. All the people who had to flee may now return. He intends to reward everyone who stood by him. "We shall not spend a large expense of time before we reckon with your several loves." Throughout the play Malcolm has shown himself to be loyal and fair and shows the qualities of a good king.

Shortly after Macbeth hears the prophecies of him becoming the Thane of Cawdor and the King of Scotland, and after becoming the Thane of Cawdor a few moments later, he writes a letter to Lady Macbeth about what he is thinking, which at the time is how he wants to do away with King Duncan. "… the fatal entrance of Duncan under my battlements. Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe tap-full of direst cruelty (I. v. 40-44)." Lady Macbeth says to herself after hearing of Duncans arrival to Inverness. Lady Macbeth then wants to have the strength to kill him by making her strong like a man. Later on, when Macduff flees to England to find Malcolm to raise an army to take back the throne of Scotland from a tyrant, Macduff says to Malcolm after Malcolm says he is very greedy and unfit to be king; "Scotland has enough treasures to satisfy you out of your own royal coffers (IV. iii. 90-91)." Macduff tries to win over Malcolm by tempting him to come back. Furthermore, he then tries to convince him to fight Macbeth because of his love for Scotland and his ambition to take back the crown.

Malcom is the son of the late King Duncan and brother to Donalbain. Although he was the kings’ son, he did not take the throne because he was considered a suspect in the murder of his father, as was his brother, Donalbain. He and his brother fled to England to avoid prosecution, so the Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth took the throne. Macbeth, unknown to Scotland, was the true murderer of King Duncan, along with his wife Lady Macbeth. After a while on the throne, Macbeth orders the murder of his best friend Banquo and his sons, along with his friend Macduff and his wife and children.

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

I had done’t” (2: 2,11). She sees him at rest and almost can’t go through with killing him. Duncan is a great father to Donalbain and Malcolm. He makes Malcolm his official heir when he names him Prince of Cumberland even though Scotland was an elective monarchy. He also speaks formally out of respect for everyone else around him.
