There are only three characters in the play who are clearly fathers: Duncan, Banquo and Macduff. Duncan is prepared to influence the succession in Scotland for the benefit of his son, who is probably not the best candidate for king, and so is a doting father of sorts. He does not seem to have much to say about his younger son. Macduff is quite effusive over the loss of his children, but as his wife bitterly complains, does not actually take any steps to protect them when he flees to England: "Wisdom! To leave his wife, to leave his babes, his mansion and his titles in a place from whence himself does fly?" Banquo is the only father who shows some real fatherly feeling and bonding with his son Fleance, especially at the opening of Act II Scene 1, and whose last words are advice to Fleance to save himself.
