In the beginning of the play Macbeth and macduff are both compassionate and loving husbands but later Macbeth becomes careless and insensitive towards his wife. Malcolm and Macbeths men are preparing for the war while Lady Macbeth is losing her sanity. Lady Macbeth commits suicide and as Macbeth finds out he says emotionless, ‘’ she should have died hereafter, / There would have been time for such a word.” This shows that Macbeth is a bad husband because he does not care what happens to his wife. In the quote He is saying that Lady Macbeth’s death is actually a nuisance that a problem and he is also saying that if she died in another time he would have cared more and that he could actually morn her death, on the other hand when ross and macduff were talking about how much they hate Macbeth and what they will do to get him off the throne ross tells macduff about the death and macduff takes it very hard and says in anger and regret, “My children too?/ He has no children. All my pretty ones? / Did you say all? O hell-kite! All?” This shows that macduff cares about his family and which shows he is a good and caring husband who just made bad decision, macduff takes it very hard at first he doesn’t believe that, that’s true and he just keeps believing that ross was lying and that that’s not true, also he feels that he is responsible for their deaths because he left them without any protection, but most of all he is angry and he is just thinking what he is going to do to Macbeth when he sees him he is going to get revenge for his loss by killing Macbeth. He feels that if he is not the one who kills Macbeth his wife and child’s soul will haunt him for the rest of his life. Macbeth end up falling apart and not caring for his wife and macduff grieves for his wife’s death.
Macbeth and macduff are both extremely talented swordsmen but Macbeth fights for the wrong reasons
