Malcom tests Macduff by saying he is going to be a horrible king. He says that this is a test to see if Macduff will continue to support him even if he was worse than Macbeth. If Macduff said he would then Malcolm would know him for a toady who would agree to anything. He then claims to be well-nigh perfect, and that he has never told a lie before the whopper he just told to Macduff. Yeah, right. Anyway, Macduff is prepared to go along with him because he would do anything to get rid of Macbeth.

What kind of person was Macbeth?

Macbeth is a warrior, a man used to taking vigorous action. He has killed many men on the battlefield, but he has not allowed that behaviour to influence the rest of his life. As a close relative to the king, he is aware of the possibility that he may become king, but has no overreaching desire to do so. He does feel strongly about his masculinity: he views himself as a "manly man". He cares about the opinion of his wife and wants her love. He is an intelligent person and can foresee the outcome of his actions.

How would you describe Lady Macbeth and her son?

The play by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616) gave a negative description of Lady Macbeth and no description of her child.According to the Shakespearean play, Lady Macbeth (b. c. 1015) would not be described in a flattering way. Her first appearance was in Act 1 Scene 5, when she read a letter from her husband. There, she would be described as ambitious, controlling, domineering, scheming, selfish, and unscrupulous.In the letter, Macbeth (c. 1014 - August 15, 1057) told his wife of the last-minute decision by King Duncan I (d. August 14, 1040) to spend the night at Inverness Castle. He also told of the three witches' predictions of a royal future.Macbeth's Lady must have had her household under control, because she did not agonize over having everything ready for an unexpected royal visit. Instead, she ambitiously embraced the notion of an imminent change in job description for her and her husband. In fact, she unscrupulously mapped out a foul scheme for bringing about the royal promotion before night's end. Macbeth's Lady indeed went on to selfishly think out how to carry everything out by bullying her husband away from his good side and into the realms of evil word, thought and deed.So the Shakespearean Lady Macbeth would not be described at all as nurturing. Perhaps one of the best indicators of that lack could be seen in regard to her son, the future King Lulach (d. March 17, 1058). Indeed, there was only one reference to her role as mother, in Act 1 Scene 7 Lines 54-58. The reference was coldheartedly negative, in which she spoke of being capable of bashing the child's brains out during a feeding.

Why is Macbeth so cocky in act 5 scene 3?

Macbeth's cockiness in Act 5, Scene 3 is a result of his overconfidence stemming from the witches' prophecies. He believes in his invincibility due to the ambiguous nature of the prophecies, particularly the one about "none of woman born" being able to harm him. This false sense of security leads him to underestimate the threat posed by Macduff, ultimately contributing to his downfall.

What was the witches second vision for Macbeth?

The second set of predictions by the three witches was revealed to readers and viewers in Act 4 Scene 1. The first set of predictions, in Act 1 Scene 3, had dealt with the rise to power of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. The second set dealt with threats to the consolidation of that power. For the witches predicted danger from Macduff, a man not born of woman, and the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. They went on to show that Banquo's family would occupy the throne of Scotland. But the warnings of the three dangers weren't explained. And so Macbeth left with a false sense of security, because of the seeming impossibility of two out of three predictions. But he also left with a renewed sense of purpose, because of the seeming resolution to his problems by the subsequent wholesale slaughter at the Macduffs' home at Fife Castle.
