Lady Macduff
Lady Macduff is a character in William Shakespeare’s ''Macbeth''. She is the wife of Lord Macduff, the Thane of Fife, and the mother of an unnamed son and other children. Her appearance in the play is brief: she and her son are introduced in Act IV Scene II, a climactic scene that ends with her and her son being murdered on Macbeth's orders. Though Lady Macduff’s appearance is limited to this scene, her role in the play is quite significant. Later playwrights, Sir William Davenant especially, expanded her role in adaptation and in performance.
==Origin==
Macduff and Lady Macduff appear in both Raphael Holinshed’s Chronicles (1577) and Hector Boece’s Scotorum Historiæ (1526).〔Davis, J. Madison, and A. Daniel Frankforter. " The Shakespeare Name Dictionary . London: Routledge, 2004. 568-569. Print.〕 Holinshed’s Chronicles was Shakespeare’s main source for ''Macbeth'', though he diverged from the Chronicles significantly by delaying Macduff’s knowledge of his wife’s murder until his arrival in England. The latter part of Act IV Scene III is “wholly of Shakespeare’s invention.”〔Holinshed, Raphael, and W. G. Stone. Shakespeare's Holinshed; The Chronicle and the Historical Plays Compared. New York: B. Blom, 1966. Print.〕
