href="/wiki/William_Shakespeare" title="William Shakespeare">William Shakespeare</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/Macbeth" title="Macbeth">Macbeth</a></i> (c. 1603–1607). The character is based on the historical king <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_III_of_Scotland" title="Malcolm III of Scotland">Malcolm III of Scotland</a>, and is derived largely from the account in <i><a href="/wiki/Holinshed%27s_Chronicles" title="Holinshed's Chronicles">Holinshed's Chronicles</a></i> (1587), a history of Britain. He is the elder son of <a href="/wiki/King_Duncan" title="King Duncan">King Duncan</a>, the heir to the throne, and brother to <a href="/wiki/Donalbain" class="mw-redirect" title="Donalbain">Donalbain</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-TCSCS_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TCSCS-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the end, he regains the throne after mustering support to overthrow Macbeth. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Role_in_the_play">Role in the play</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Malcolm_(Macbeth)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Role in the play"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Malcolm, like his father (King Duncan), represents order.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He first appears in Act I, scene 2 (1.2), where he is talking to a sergeant, with Duncan about Macbeth's exploits on the field of battle. Malcolm later appears in Act 1.4 talking about the execution of the former Thane of Cawdor with Duncan. Macbeth then enters and receives congratulations for his victory. In Act 1.4, Duncan declares Malcolm to be his heir ("We will establish our estate upon / Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter The Prince of Cumberland" – Duncan, Act 1.4 37–39). This act frustrates Macbeth.<sup id="cite_ref-CAM_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CAM-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Malcolm is a guest at Macbeth's castle when Macbeth kills Malcolm's father, Duncan, in Act 2.2.<sup id="cite_ref-CAM_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CAM-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Malcolm and his brother are informed of the death in Act 2.3. Because they are suspected of the murder, Malcolm is not immediately declared the king. Under suspicion and implicit threat, he and his brother decide to flee <a href="/wiki/Scotland" title="Scotland">Scotland</a> after the murder. While Donalbain flees to Ireland, Malcolm flees to England ("To show an unfelt sorrow is an office / Which the false man does easy. I'll to England." – Malcolm Act 2.3 138–39; "To Ireland I; our separated fortune / Shall keep us both safer. Where we are / There's daggers in men's smiles;" – Donalbain, Act 2.3 140–2). Their flight heightens their suspicion ("Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons, / Are stol'n away and fled, which puts upon them Suspicion of the deed." – Macduff, Act 2.4 25–27), while <a href="/wiki/Macbeth_(character)" title="Macbeth (character)">Macbeth</a> assumes their father's throne. </p><p>In Act 4.1, Macbeth sees three apparitions summoned by the <a href="/wiki/Three_Witches" title="Three Witches">Three Witches</a>, with Malcolm's Act 5.4 approach to the Dunsinane Castle with tree branches being the final one.<sup id="cite_ref-Gxix_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gxix-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Act 4.3 presents irony with Macduff needing to prove his loyalty and Malcolm needing to prove his worthiness.<sup id="cite_ref-Gxix_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gxix-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In Act 4.3, Malcolm talks to Macduff about his loyalties and what to do. Upon hearing Macduff cast aspersions upon Macbeth ("Not in the legions of horrid hell can come a devil more damned in evils to top Macbeth." – Macduff, Act 4.3 55–57), Malcolm feigns his own vices to further test Macduff. Macduff responds that he too would have such vices if he were king and then signals his loyalty to Scotland ("O Scotland, Scotland!" – Macduff, Act 4.3 100). They concur that maybe no one is fit to rule such a fine land. This leads Malcolm to trust Macduff ("Macduff, this noble passion, / Child of integrity, hath from my soul / Wiped the black scruples, reconciled my thoughts / To thy good truth and honor." – Malcolm, Act 4.3 114– 17). Upon news that Macduff's family was slain, Malcolm urges Macduff to take arms with him against Macbeth ("Be this the whetstone of your sword. Let grief / Convert to anger; blunt not the heart, enrage it." – Malcolm, Act 4.3 228–229). Macduff agrees it is time to seek vengeance ("Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself; / Within my sword's length set him. If he 'scape, / Heaven forgive him too!" – Macduff, Act 4.3 233–35) as the scene ends. In the scene Malcolm learns that manhood is more than aggression when Macduff tells him that he must also grieve for his loss ("Dispute it like a man." – Malcolm, Act 4.3 220; "I shall do so, / But I must also feel it as a man." – Macduff, Act 4.3 220–21). </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Liebigbilder_1912,_Serie_852._Macbeth_-_5_Anmarsch_der_englischen_Hilfsv%C3%B6lker.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Liebigbilder_1912%2C_Serie_852._Macbeth_-_5_Anmarsch_der_englischen_Hilfsv%C3%B6lker.jpg/370px-Liebigbilder_1912%2C_Serie_852._Macbeth_-_5_Anmarsch_der_englischen_Hilfsv%C3%B6lker.jpg" decoding="async" width="370" height="246" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Liebigbilder_1912%2C_Serie_852._Macbeth_-_5_Anmarsch_der_englischen_Hilfsv%C3%B6lker.jpg/555px-Liebigbilder_1912%2C_Serie_852._Macbeth_-_5_Anmarsch_der_englischen_Hilfsv%C3%B6lker.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Liebigbilder_1912%2C_Serie_852._Macbeth_-_5_Anmarsch_der_englischen_Hilfsv%C3%B6lker.jpg/740px-Liebigbilder_1912%2C_Serie_852._Macbeth_-_5_Anmarsch_der_englischen_Hilfsv%C3%B6lker.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1280" data-file-height="850" /></a><figcaption>Malcolm leads his army on <a href="/w/index.php?title=Dunsinane_Castle&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Dunsinane Castle (page does not exist)">Dunsinane Castle</a>, from a 1912 illustration</figcaption></figure> <p>Malcolm raises an army in England,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and marches on Scotland with <a href="/wiki/Macduff_(Macbeth)" title="Macduff (Macbeth)">Macduff</a> to reclaim his birthright from Macbeth. The Scottish noblemen lend their support to restore order to the land after observing Macbeth's extreme behaviour. In Act 5.4, Malcolm confers with Englishman <a href="/wiki/Sigurd_the_Dane" class="mw-redirect" title="Sigurd the Dane">Siward</a> (the Elder) and his officers about strategies for obscuring their forces ("Let very soldier hew him down a bough / And bear't before him. Thereby shall we shadow / The numbers of our host, and make discovery / Err in report of us." – Malcolm, 5.4 4–7) and about Macbeth's defence plans ("We learn no other but the confident tyrant / Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure / Our setting down before't." – Siward, 5.4 8–10). In Act 5.6, the battle commences as Malcolm, Macduff and Siward command forces against Dunsinane Castle. In Act 5.8 Malcolm and Siward storm Macbeth's castle. Siward receives news that his son was slain. Malcolm consoles him with an opportunity to grieve. Macduff enters with Macbeth's head and declares Malcolm the King ("Hail, King! for so thou art: behold, where stands / Th' usurpers cursed head." – Macduff, 5.8 54–55). Malcolm takes over as king and notes that order has been restored and that his intentions are good ("by the grace of Grace / We will perform in measure, time, and place:" – Malcolm, Act 5.8 72–73). He invites everyone to his coronation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Critical_comments">Critical comments</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Malcolm_(Macbeth)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Critical comments"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Sylvan_Barnet" title="Sylvan Barnet">Sylvan Barnet</a> described Malcolm as "chaste, trustworthy, and patriotic".<sup id="cite_ref-TCSCS_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TCSCS-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As the natural heir to the throne, Malcolm is <a href="/wiki/Macbeth_(character)" title="Macbeth (character)">Macbeth</a>'s foremost rival.
