Macduff with regards to his loyalty to virtue. He provides us with a narrative for the increasing tyranny of both Macbeth the individual, but also as a representative of the state- whilst LM presents such a drastic show of loyalty, her loss of direction later on highlights The danger of misplaced loyalty- or loyalty for poor cause.
