Have a little read: ... Macbeth Act 1, Scene 4: How does Shakespeare deepen our understanding of the personalities of Macbeth and Duncan? Before Act 1, Scene 4 we did not know that much about Duncan and although we had seen Macbeth listening to the prophecies of the three witches we still had not seen him interact with the King. This scene provides the basic foundations of Macbeth's personality of which some parts will stay the same while others will change and evolve as the play goes on and as Duncan's role is not very long this is the only scene in which Shakespeare can explain the personality of Duncan to the reader. At the beginning of the scene the King shows his distress after the Thane of Cawdor's betrayal especially as he regarded him as a trusted and loyal friend as shown when he mentions he built up an "absolute Trust" (line 15) on him. Duncan
