Malcolm claims he is unworthy to be king because he fears he lacks the virtues necessary for leadership, such as integrity and moral strength. He worries that he may be more corrupt than Macbeth, should he take the throne, and he tests Macduff's loyalty by exaggerating his own vices. This self-doubt reflects his understanding of the heavy responsibilities of kingship and the need for a ruler to embody the qualities of a good leader, contrasting sharply with Macbeth's tyrannical rule. Ultimately, Malcolm seeks to ensure that he is truly fit to restore order to Scotland.
