William Shakespeare`S Macbeth

Character Sketch: Young Macduff a.k.a son
In William Shakespeares Macbeth, an epic play about blood, glory and pride, Young Mcduff's tragic yet heroic lifestory is revealed. His father of course is Macduff, one of Scotland's most prestigous nobleman, and his mother is Lady Macduff. Macduff was very close to King Duncan and after his untimely death, he always had his suspicions about Macbeth. He chose not to join Macbeth's coronation and later fled Scotland as a traitor leaving his family alone in a ruthless and chaotic country that Scotland had become known for.

When his mother tells him that his father was a traitor, and traitors are liars that get hanged by the honest men. He replies to Lady Macbeth by telling her that the traitors must be stupid because there are easily enough traitors to join and hang the honest men. Later he denounces his mother's statement that his father is dead by telling her that if his father truly had been killed she would be crying and since she was not crying it must be a good sign. Both these statements show Young Macduff's witt and intelect, but his most important charact...
