Heroes come in all varieties and forms and are indispensable to almost every story. A hero may not always be the protagonist or a powerful, prominent figure in a situation and in Shakespeare's tragedy of Macbeth, the Scottish nobleman Macduff emerges from the abundance of characters as a humble hero. Macduff begins as a silent, static character and develops from a less than glorious beginning to eventually help lead (motivate) an army and ultimately save Scotland by ridding the country of its apocryphal king. Through this, Macduff can be characterized as Macbeth's honorable and courageous opponent and the hero of the play. The role of Macduff is essential in Macbeth. He acts as a courageous antagonist and contrast with Macbeth, also playing a dynamic and rounded character in the play. Macduff's values ​​do not change over the course of the play, however, as the acts progress, more is learned about his character and certain traits are accentuated. For example, Macduff is hostile towards Macbeth from the start, immediately suspicious of his path to kingship, first seen when Macduff chooses to return to Fife instead of attending the new king's coronation. As Macbeth becomes increasingly overwhelmed by his power and his kingdom descends into chaos, Macduff's suspicion and lack of acceptance in his kingship grows to fuel his rivalry against the once heroic Macbeth. Macduff is dynamic in his growth as a more involved character, but also in his suspicion and hatred of the protagonist. Furthermore, Macduff is also considered a rounded and multi-faceted character. In Act 4, Macduff reveals himself not only to be a moral man and a courageous Thane, but also a sensitive family man with a wife and many children. His multi-faceted life highlights the growing differences in M... at the center of the card... truly seen as a character when he discovers Duncan, just murdered. He shows utter shock at the sight of the deceased Duncan and is the first to question Macbeth about the suspicious act, including the death of the servants. Macduff provides Macbeth with the paranoia that is evident in the rest of the play and Macduff continues to show his loyalty to Duncan even after the murder by making it his goal to ensure that the rightful king is crowned. The witches tell Macbeth to beware of Macduff, but also not to be harmed by anyone "born of woman". Macduff is therefore destined to kill Macbeth and end the conflict that Macbeth has created with his ambition since his was “torn prematurely” from his mother's womb. The heroic Macduff through courage and fate manages to resist the prophecy and kill Macbeth honoring his family, morals and all of Scotland.
