Why does Malcolm at first suspect Macduff of treachery?
Malcolm suspected Macduff of having designs on the crown and throne of Scotland. In Act 4 Scene 3, Macduff had arrived in England from Scotland. He had joined the group of discontented Scotsmen that had formed around the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. Malcolm wanted to take the throne of Scotland away from Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. He wanted someone else to kill and behead Macbeth. But he didn't want Macbeth's murderer to gain the Scottish crown and throne. Malcolm knew that Macbeth had had Macduff's entire family and household murdered. So he wanted Macduff to be Macbeth's murderer. But he wanted to make sure that Macduff would do the killing only to avenge his lost family and household. He wanted to make sure that Macduff wouldn't try to claim the crown and throne as his.
