Macbeth Act IV

Act IV introduces the witches to the readers yet again. Something that has bothered me throughout the whole play however is how each witch appears. Not your average witch that usually has a long pointy hat and a broom, these ones have beards. Macbeth comes to see the witches as they had thought would happen. HE yet again asks many questions that has him a bit confused. Macduff has now left the scene like many of the characters do. However he leaves his wife and children behind. Macduff's family are in danger because a group of murderes are sent after them. Throughout the play we see the whole theme of what makes a man a man. Macduff in my opinion is a coward. He just left his family behind because he was scared. When his wife was even warned to flee she refuses. HOw can you just leave your family behind, and to have them defend for themselves. In the end Macduff figures out his wife and kids were murded and feels terrible. Macduff feels angry and is now determined to seek revenge on Macbeth. So yet again Macbeth has something coming to him because of his actions. Lady Macbeth and their son ends up being killed by murderers and its to seek vengance on Macbeth. The reason i think this is, is because the murderer when asking for where Lady Macbeth's husband is, he states "He's a traitor." (IV.III.80) Overall in Act IV it just gets us set up for what's to come to Macbeth.
