Question

Read the tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare scenes 3 lines 129-140: what inference can you make about the kind of king Malcolm will be? what specific information supports your inference?

Answer 1

It is possible to make an inference about Malcolm's character as king. He will be a highly intelligent king. This is because the narrative allows the reader to realize that when Malcolm has a perception of the danger he is in, he divides his location into several regions, confusing the enemy and taking care not to be captured.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malcolm is King Duncan's eldest son and should have inherited the throne if Macbeth had not murdered his father and taken the throne in error. In Shakespeare's story, Malcolm's primary function is to defeat Macbeth and claim his right to the throne.

In Shakespeare's narrative Malcolm is an integral and complete character and we can make several inferences about what he would be like as king. The main of these inferences is that Malcolm would be an intelligent and wise king, because we can see that when he realizes that he is in danger, he establishes a plan to outwit his enemy, dividing his location by several regions.

Answer 2

In scene 3, Malcolm shows signs of good judge of character and a great deal of caution. He may be a careful and level-headed king. He suspects that someone among them murdered King Duncan, and is pretending to mourn his death. "Let's not consort with them, to show an unfelt sorrow is an office which the false man does easy." He avoids putting himself at risk by fleeing to England.
