Macduff the buff


Macduff leaves the country to try and find Malcolm and convince him to get an army and come take over Scotland. As Duncan's oldest son he is the rightful heir to the throne. Lady Macduff believes her husband left out of fear, when in reality he left out of love for his family. He wants to fix Scotland, but he didn't realize he actually put his family in more danger by leaving. Lady Macduff tells there son that his father is dead, and a traitor. This is not the case though, Macduff seems to be the best person in this story, he has the right mind set and is trying to do what is best for his country. He finds Malcom and Malcom tests Macduffs honor and loyalty by saying he would be a worse king then Macbeth and that he would sleep with all women, steal all the treasure and ruin Scotland. After Macduff proves his loyalty he tells him he was just kidding about the terrible things he said about himself. Malcom is ahead of the game he has created an alliance and already has an army of 10,000 troops. 
Ross comes and tells Macduff lies and says that his family is fine. Then a little while later he feels guilty and tells the truth. Malcom advices Macduff to channel his sadness and put it into anger to fight against Macbeth. Malcom and Macduff will make a great alliance, they both have major built up anger toward Macbeth and will stop at nothing to bring him down and take over Scotland. I want Malcom to be king, I think he would be great, and it is his rightful spot.
