Lady Macduff is depicted as a loving and protective mother who is left vulnerable when her husband, Macduff, flees Scotland. Her son is innocent and naive, but also courageous and loyal to his family. They are ultimately victims of Macbeth's brutality and are both killed by his henchmen.

They have a conversation of about 35 lines in Act 4 Scene 2. She asks him what he will do now that his father is dead. He says he'll get by and anyway his father is not dead. Then he asks a lot of questions about what traitors are, since his father is apparently one.

It isn't said if it's a boy or girl but it is shown that it has died when she reflects on what she had.

Improved:

It is said in Act 1 Scene 7 that

"I have given suck, and know how tender tis to love the babe that milk me: I would, while it was smiling in my face, have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, and dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to this."

This states that the baby is a boy, and it is said in late documents that Shakespeare has carefully censored this to remove the fact that Lady Macbeth had a child in a previous marriage.
