 Studying Macbeth. Here's how you can analyse that for scene three. The scene opens with Malcolm and Macduff in England. The state directions tell us that Macduff has gone to England to meet him. Macduff tells Malcolm that everyone is miserable under Macbeth's rule. He uses the rule of three here to emphasise that Macbeth's reign is horrible. Malcolm agrees that Macbeth is a terrible leader and he speaks here using I am a pentameter to basically say that Macbeth is a terrible leader and he's behind all the killings in Scotland. Yet Malcolm is unsure if Macduff is on his side. He speaks here using a metaphor showing he worries that Macduff will betray him and he might be sent by Macbeth. However, Macduff promises him that he is not treacherous. He's loyal to Malcolm. Macduff then also personifies Scotland as bleeding in this exclamatory sentence and his use of personification here shows that Macbeth is destroying the country. Malcolm is finally convinced here that Macduff is on his side and he's not being sent by Macbeth to kill him. He speaks using this metaphor to emphasise how Scotland is basically dying under the reign of Macbeth. He then tells Macduff that the English king who has offered him refuge has also offered to give him thousands of soldiers to help him in his fight against Macbeth. Macduff is pleased to hear that Malcolm wants to bring a rebel army against Macbeth and he speaks in hyperbole here to basically say that Macbeth is an evil ruler. Malcolm agrees using listing here to show how he believes Macbeth is extremely evil were still because he killed the king. Even if Malcolm believes that Macbeth should be removed from his throne, his use of listing here shows that he doesn't feel that he's suitable to be the next king. He believes that he lacks all of these good qualities that a king should have. Macduff is shocked to realise that Malcolm has these doubts. He says the royal father was the most sainted king. He's referring to Divine Wight of Kings here basically saying that Malcolm has the right and the qualities to become the next king of Scotland. Malcolm is really happy here and relieved to hear that Macduff believes in him. These state directions then tell us that Ross has entered with some bad news from Scotland. Ross then speaks in hyperbole here when he's speaking to Macduff. He's basically saying that I have really bad news but I hope you're not going to hate me for telling you this. Ross finally tells Macduff that your wife and babes were savagely slaughtered. In other words, his wife and son were killed and he uses siblings here to emphasise how horrendous the murder was. Macduff is filled with grief. He uses this metaphor where he refers to his family as his pretty chickens to ask whether they were slaughtered just like animals. Malcolm tries to comfort Macduff and he tells him to fight Macbeth like a man. In other words, to use these killings as motivation to kill Macbeth. Macduff resolves to kill Macbeth here and what he says foreshadows how he will eventually kill Macbeth.
