Detailed explanation-1: -Believing that their own lives are in danger, Duncan’s sons flee the court; Malcolm to England and Donalbain to Ireland. Their decision to run away makes them the prime suspects and King Duncan is buried. Macbeth is proclaimed Duncan’s successor to the throne.
Detailed explanation-2: -Duncan’s sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, fearing for their own safety, flee to England and Ireland respectively. Ross, Macduff, and an Old Man discuss the murder, considering whether it was committed by the guards or the King’s sons who have fled.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Donalbain flees to Ireland after the murder of his father for refuge. He is based upon a personage in an account of King Duncan in Holinshed’s Chronicles, a history of Britain familiar to Shakespeare. He is ultimately based on the historical King Donald III of Scotland.
Detailed explanation-5: -Donalbain: The younger son of King Duncan and brother of Malcolm. Macbeth: The husband of Lady Macbeth, a general in the army. Banquo: The father of Fleance and a general in the army.
