However, the state in which Macduff finds Malcolm is wretchedly pitiful; Malcolm has resigned, even suggests to “weep our sad bosoms empty” instead of fighting to take back what is rightfully his (4.3.2). Therefore, Macduff now has to try and assure Malcolm that fighting to protect your homeland- especially from a sociopathic and greedy tyrant such as Macbeth-…

I will elucidate the importance of the theme by examining the witches and their prophecies, the actions that transpire at MacBeth’s castle, the parallels viewed by Lady MacBeth and Lady MacDuff, the intriguing discussion between Malcolm and MacDuff, and finally, the contributing impact of the apparitions.…
