Detailed explanation-1: -However, Macduff flees to England to join Malcolm, the slain King Duncan’s elder son, and convinces him to return to Scotland and claim the throne.
Detailed explanation-2: -Or, in Ross’s words, “we hold rumour / From what we fear, yet know not what we fear, / But float upon a wild and violent sea / Each way and none” (4.2. 22). Thus Ross suggests that even if Macduff did flee because he was afraid, he probably had good reason to be afraid, because Macbeth makes everyone afraid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike the treasonous Macbeth, Macduff is completely loyal to Duncan and his son Malcolm. He discovers Duncan’s body, and he soon becomes suspicious of Macbeth. Fearing Macbeth’s vengeance, he flees to England to support Malcolm in his assault on Macbeth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lennox enters and tells Macbeth that Macduff has fled to England. Macbeth resolves to send murderers to capture Macduff’s castle and to kill Macduff’s wife and children.
Detailed explanation-5: -9. What news does Ross bring to Macduff? Ross brings news of Macduff’s family’s murders.
