Macduff Personality

The Tragedy of Macbeth written by Shakespeare is a violent, bloody race of fate for who is destined to be the king of Scotland. There are many bloody murders in Macbeth, and all of this comes to an end by the true hero, Mcduff. Macduff is the only character who sees through Macbeth’s insanity, he is a selfless and devoted warrior, and kills Macbeth rescuing Scotland. Macduff is the true hero of Macbeth.

When Macduff hears about the murder of King Duncan, he automatically has his suspicions about Macbeth. During this scene Macbeth goes off and kills the two innocent guards, killing the only evidence against himself. Due to this act everyone praises Macbeth for his bravery and for solving the murder so fast, but Macduff had his doubts with

Lady Macbeth’s persistence towards convincing Macbeth to kill King Duncan influences Macbeth entirely. Changing him from being the brave soldier to the mad, greedy murderer. Not only did the killing of Duncan cause Macbeth to crave more assassinations it caused him to drive away from being the selfless, devoted warrior. Which Macduff was. Macduff has the opposing power personality against Macbeth. Macduff was a selfless nobleman, fully devoted to King Duncan and Scotland. This devotion caused Macduff to leave his family willingly and go serve Malcolm in England. Alongside helping Malcolm plan Macbeth’s tragic fall. Lady Macduff is furious about her husband's actions of fleeing the country but, In Act 4 scene 2 Ross says, “He is noble, wise, judicious, and best knows the fits o’th’season.” (Shakespeare 4.2.16-17) Ross clearly and confidently announces to Lady Macduff about Macduff’s loyal qualities. While Lady Macbeth stood firm at her accusations when the murderers came to Macduff’s family Lady Macduff stood at her feet protecting Macduff’s reputation and

Macbeth killed Duncan to take the throne for himself, he assassinated Banquo, had a target painted on Fleance's back, murdered Macduff’s entire family. All these tragic deaths were all because of Macbeth’s selfishness to keep the crown to himself. Macbeth also said, “I have no spur to prick the side of my intent, but only vaulting ambitions which o’erleaps itself and fall on th’other,” this provokes that Macbeth is willing to do anything to achieve his goals, even if it is murder which Macbeth explicitly shows. (Shakespeare 1.7. 25-28) Therefore, it was just for Macduff to kill Macbeth and it was the final act that proved Macduff is the true hero of Macbeth. It was a heroic but necessary act to restore order and justice in Scotland. Again, Macbeth was a tyrant who killed many innocent lives for his own personal favors and needs. There was no genuine intent Macbeth had for the people of Scotland only for himself. Therefore, when Macduff killed Macbeth, it paved a new path of peace and unity between the people of Scotland. The crown was then given to a more suitable king, Malcolm. Which then would be passed down to Fleance making the apparitions of the witches true. All the actions Macbeth commits were only leading to his downfall and his tragic death. This furthermore proved that the killing of Macbeth was needed to save Scotland from a tyrant.
