In 'The Tragedy of Macbeth', I found Fleance and Macduff worthy of pity. Fleance was so young to lose his father in such a despicable way. He may not have been able to see the heinous deed. But he had to have figured out what was happening. Undoubtedly, he subsequently heard the gory details of the throat-slitting end to his father. Also, he had to make the difficult choice of saving himself and his father's family line, over not letting his father die alone. Macduff was pitiable, because he lost his entire family. It must have been horrible to learn of their bloody, painful end by brutal, savage murderers. Somehow, he had to keep himself from falling to pieces long enough to organize the successful overthrow of Macbeth.
