   It might also be important to note that Lady Macduff and her son were slaughtered on the orders of Macbeth. He is further showing his descent into the dark side of his character as he tries to ensure retention of the thrown. Macduff is out of town trying to come up with support for his assertion that Macbeth needs to be overthrown.
