Macduff's Presentation Of Murder In Macbeth By William Shakespeare

Macbeth has clearly been a tale of ambition, murder, and revenge. Before the climax scene is revealed, let’s recap the events prior. Thane Macduff’s entire household were murdered by Macbeth, sparking his revenge. Malcolm fled to England to escape Macbeth’s evil atrocities. And finally, to give Macbeth what he deserves, Macduff also flees to England to rally a crusade of troops to take down Macbeth once and for all. He returns with the troops where the next scene is set. This scene is not present in the original play, however, it is important to understand how Macduff forms the army. I will be Macduff delivering a final call to action speech as villagers and soldiers gather near Birnam Woods.

Good morning men. I, Lord Macduff, Thane of
Each killing is becoming easier for him and they’ll continue indefinitely unless we take action now! Now ask yourself this – do you want your neighbouring Scots to be ruled by a murderer? As a patriot of Scotland, not I! He is a self-absorbed human being who cares for none but himself. Evil atrocities are clearly in his veins. Macbeth is tyrannical – resorting to violence and murder to every problem that arises - including any threat to his stability as King. He is born for the battlefield, not to rule Scotland.
We know of his weaknesses and will use it against him. He psychologically does not fit a criminal figure. He can’t think for himself. He can’t make decisive decisions. He is heavily reliant on the opinion of others. His Lady continually influences his actions. She persuades and encourages his murderous deeds. They murdered innocent people. We need justice for their families! My friends, Macbeth will soon be after your families too unless we act
(Pause). Fighting this battle will see men fall and blood drawn - but the sacrifice that you make will ensure the safety of your Ladies, babes and fellow Scots for the forthcoming years. They will not fall victims in the hands of Macbeth.
The Birnam Woods will be our ally, providing concealment prior to our attack on Dunsinane Castle. The ever-brave Malcolm will command and lead the troops – we are in very capable hands. We will fight to the very end. We will slay every soldier that stands in our way. We will win at all costs. We will talk with our swords and weapons and give Macbeth what he truly deserves. So fight for what is right! Fight for your freedom! Fight for Scotland!
*draw sword* We will take down Macbeth, and crown Malcolm as our rightful King.

In the end, Macduff slayed Macbeth, Malcolm was crowned King of Scotland and Lady Macbeth committed suicide just before Macbeth’s death as a result of the string of psychological effects of the murders that she and her husband had committed. Thank you for
