Macbeth Duncan Quotes

Duncan

Quote 4

DUNCAN
What bloody man is that? He can report,
As seemeth by his plight, of the revolt
The newest state. (1.2.1-3)

(1) We all but start with a bloody man, which doesn’t bode well for the eventual body count (2) This guy is our king. Shouldn't he be a little bloody, too? Is he just letting everyone else fight his battles for him?
