Macbeth

MACDUFF
The Essential Macduff in Macbeth   

  

Like in all (or most) Shakespeare plays, thither is always a hero that overcomes evil supernatural forces. Macduff is this inbred character in this play. His fealty and patriotism to his dear country, Scotland, is to a greater extent exceeding unlike the likes of the other Scottish nobles, Macduff was devastated by the take away of his dear king, and he also somewhat sacrifices his family for his country.
