Essay / Diversity in the fourth, Lady Macduff, by William...
For example, Macduff protects Lady Macduff when they talk about the king's death. The drama states: "Macduff: 'O kind lady,/'It is not for you to hear what I may say...'" (Shakespeare 30). Even though Macduff is at his most sexual and well-intentioned when he says this, I would protect someone from the truth if I thought I would harm them in any way. Additionally, Macduff cares about the well-being of the kingdom when he seeks Malcolm to take it back. The drama states: "Macduff: 'Let us rather hold the deadly sword, and like good men ride our fall and our birth.' Every new morning/New widows scream, new orphans cry, new sorrows/Strikes the sky in the face, it resonates/As if it felt with Scotland and cried out/Like a syllable of pain' ( Shakespeare 63). I am a concerned person by nature and will seek help if it is in someone's best interest. Additionally, Macduff does as he is ordered when he goes to fetch the king on the morning of his death despite Macbeth's suggestion that he do so. The narrative states: “Macduff: 'I will be so bold to call,/For it is my limited service'” (Shakespeare 29). I do what I'm told and follow orders instead of letting someone else do it, because that way I know it was done correctly. And Macduff is driven by vengeance to kill Macbeth after learning of his family's disappearance. The drama states: "Macduff: 'That's what the noise is.' Tyrant, show your face!/If you are slain without any blow from me,/The ghosts of my wife and children will still haunt me” (Shakespeare 83). Although I wouldn't go so far as to try to kill someone, I would act in revenge if someone caused harm to a family member or someone.
