Detailed explanation-1: -Malcolm suspects that Macduff is Macbeth’s agent sent to lure Malcolm to his destruction in Scotland. After Malcolm tests Macduff and finds him sincere, Malcolm reveals that Edward, king of England, has provided a commander (Siward) and ten thousand troops for the invasion of Scotland.
Detailed explanation-2: -Who has Malcolm joined with? What have they already done to go against MacBeth? Malcolm has joined with the English, and they gave him a thousand troops to fight against MacBeth and Scotland. Describe what Edward the Confessor, King of England has done for his people, according to Malcolm.
Detailed explanation-3: -The English king offers to help defeat Macbeth by providing soldiers to fight him. When Macduff joins Malcolm in England to encourage him to fight Macbeth, Malcolm declares that ‘’here from gracious England have I offer/Of goodly thousands, ” meaning soldiers to back his fight against Macbeth to retake the throne.
Detailed explanation-4: -Synopsis: The rebel Scottish forces have joined Malcolm’s army at Birnam Wood. Malcolm orders each soldier to cut down and carry a bough from the Wood so as to conceal their numbers from Macbeth.
Detailed explanation-5: -At first, Macduff politely disagrees with his future king, but eventually Macduff cannot keep himself from crying out, “O Scotland, Scotland!” (4.3.101). Macduff’s loyalty to Scotland leads him to agree that Malcolm is not fit to govern Scotland and perhaps not even to live.
