Since Macbeth took over the Scottish throne, many other innocent civilians and royal officials have been executed by Macbeth to satisfy his lust for total power. This central focus on power has plunged the country into despair and lowered the well-being of its subjects, causing mass disapproval and speaking out from all; this then led Macbeth to murder anyone who spoke against him. This, together with the search for help for Scotland, leads Macduff to go to England, because "for, according to general words, and because he failed in his presence at the tyrant's feast, I I have heard that Macduff lives in disgrace” (3, 22 – 23). Macbeth continues to ruin Scotland, which causes Macduff to speak out, but in a simple and concerned manner, rather than in a boastful and selfish tone. Many would not dare speak against the king, for to do so would guarantee certain death. Macduff's courage, however, does not prevent him from holding his tongue or his actions, and he seeks to help Scotland without worrying too much about Macbeth's violent reaction. This reaction, however, reaches Macduff's family, and Macbeth orders everyone killed, which leaves only Macduff alive in England. Despite having nothing left in Scotland to fight for and protect himself physically, Macduff decides to courageously fight for Scotland and rid it of Macbeth, while striving to avenge the murders of his family and his house.
