Detailed explanation-1: -Upon Duncan’s death, Malcolm and Donalbain flee from Scotland, fearing that they will suffer a fate similar to Duncan. This is perceived as guilt, and they are blamed for Duncan’s murder. He is later seen hiding in England with Macduff, where he tests Macduff’s loyalty to Scotland and to him by lying about himself.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth kills the “guilty” servants as punishment as King Duncan’s sons, Malcolm and Donalbain arrive. Believing that their own lives are in danger, Duncan’s sons flee the court; Malcolm to England and Donalbain to Ireland.
