Macduff's Manhood
How does Macduff respond when asked to take the news about his family “like a man”?
Macduff responds by saying he could behave like a woman and cry and dwell over the loss of his family but instead he intends on taking on this situation by getting his revenge on Macbeth for doing this to his family. (Act 4; Scene 3: Lines 264-269)
How would you characterize Macduff, based on his reaction to the murder of his wife and son?
I would characterize Macduff as a firm person that wants to avenge the killing of his family.(Act 4; Scene 3: Lines 270-276)
Compare and contrast Macduff’s understanding of manhood with definitions of it earlier in the play.
