Macduff

Question 1

‘O horror, horror, horror, / Tongue nor heart cannot conceive, nor name thee.’

Answer 1

These words are said by Macduff after finding King Duncan`s body In Act 2, Scene 3.
He is struggling to speak about what he has seen.
The fact he can’t speak properly here highlights the difference between him and Macbeth. Macbeth is always using words to explore his ideas and feelings. Macduff tells the others to go and see for themselves: ‘Do not bid me speak.’

Question 2

‘How sayst thou that Macduff denies his person / At our great bidding?’ (3,4)

Answer 2

This quote indicates that Macduff does not support Macbeth’s rule over Scotland.
When Macduff flees to England (once Macbeth is king), Malcolm initially distrusts Macduff because he was once Macbeth’s friend.
