Detailed explanation-1: -Outside King Edward’s palace, Malcolm speaks with Macduff, telling him that he does not trust him since he has left his family in Scotland and may be secretly working for Macbeth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Malcolm doesn’t trust Macduff, as a result of the fear Macbeth had created amongst his people. Malcolm in fact believes that Macduff must be supporting Macbeth as (to his knowledge) his family hadn’t been harmed, creating dramatic irony as the audience are aware of how wrong Malcolm is.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macduff’s first loyalty is to his king and country. He follows Malcolm (the rightful king) to England and becomes his right-hand man supporting him in his bid to regain the throne. Malcolm tests Macduff’s loyalty by pretending to be a worse human being than Macbeth himself.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macduff says Malcolm would still be a better king than Macbeth but eventually his loyalty to Scotland leads him to agree that Malcolm would be an unfit king. This proves to Malcolm that Macduff is trustworthy and loyal and promptly tells him that he was lying. The two become allies.
