Macbeth 4.2 & 4.3

  1. Poor Lady Macduff is the only other female in the play. What? It's true. How does she compare to Lady Macbeth?
  2. Ross's speech (4.2.14-26): What does Ross reveal about Scotland under Macbeth's rule? Look back at Lennox's speech (3.6.1-25) to see how things have changed/stayed the same.
  3. What is up with Malcolm and Macduff?? Let's look at Scene 3!
    • What is the purpose of Macduff's visit to Malcolm?
