Act 4: Will Malcolm Return?

        In Act 4 Scene 3, Macduff finally reaches England where he plans to convince Malcolm to return to England to help overthrow Macbeth. Malcolm does not trust Macduff at first, because he does not know what kind of king he would allow to rule over Scotland. To put Macduff to the test, Malcolm claims that he has all the bad attributes that a king should not have, such as greed and lust, and that he would be a terrible king. When Macduff gives up on the idea of Malcolm being king, Malcolm decides to trust him and supplies Macduff with 10,000 soldiers to retake Scotland.
