 Studying Macbeth, let's look at key quotes related to the character of Macduff. In Act 2, scene 3, when he discovers King Duncan has been killed he says, Confusion now hath made his masterpiece. The alliteration in Hath and his shows his disgust at whoever has killed the king. Confusion is also personified showing how this act of Regicide killing the king will now lead to chaos. He says, killing King Duncan is the most sacrilegious murder. Here Shakespeare uses alliteration of him. Also the words sacrilegious and lords is religious language and this relates to the divine right of kings. The idea that the king is chosen directly by God therefore to kill the king is to go directly against God. Also the phrase, the lords anointed temple and stole thence is I am a pentameter. Bear in mind I am a pentameter has 10 syllables, one syllable stressed, the other unstressed. This emphasises the disgust that Macduff feels at this act of treachery.
