Chaos and Destruction/Macduff

Question 1

“Fit to govern? / No, not to live. - O nation miserable! / With an untitled tyrant, bloody-sceptred, / When shalt thou see thy wholesome days again (4.3)”​.

Answer 1

Furthermore, the phrase​ “For goodness dare not check thee”​ shows how “tyranny”​ is allowed to ​thrive unchallenged​ because of the ​power ​that comes with it and the fear it ​instills ​in others. When he hears Malcolm lie about his flaws, he cries out, “Fit to govern? / No, not to live. - O nation miserable! / With an untitled tyrant,
bloody-sceptred, / When shalt thou see thy wholesome days again (4.3)”​. Macduff is ​dismayed by the fate of his country because of the king who rules it. He suggests the country is “miserable”​ because it is governed by a ​usurper ​who went against the will of God. Moreover, the ​rhetorical question​ and answer he supplies,​ “Fit to govern? / No, not to live,”​ implies being an ​inadequate, corrupt king is a crime worthy of death.
