Macbeth

Detailed explanation-1: -Malcolm lies to Macduff by telling him he is unfit to be king, but he is actually just seeing if Macduff is trustworthy. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Malcolm doesn’t trust Macduff, and knows that Macbeth would do anything to get rid of him. He lies to Macduff in order to determine where Macduff’s loyalty lies.
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: -Malcolm tells him he must give voice to his pain, saying, “Merciful heaven! / What, man! ne’er pull your hat upon your brows; / Give sorrow words: the grief that does not speak / Whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break” (4.3. 207-210). Still, Macduff can barely speak.
Detailed explanation-5: -Malcolm advises Macduff to turn his grief for his dead family into hatred for Macbeth. This gives Macduff a motivation to kill Macbeth himself for the upcoming battle. “Be this whetstone of your sword: let grief convert to anger; blunt not the heart, enrage it."
