<P> In 2.4 Macbeth has left for Scone, the ancient royal city where Scottish kings were crowned . Macduff, meanwhile, meets with Ross and an Old Man . He reveals that he will not be attending the coronation of Macbeth and will instead return to his home in Fife . However, Macduff flees to England to join Malcolm, the slain King Duncan's elder son, and convinces him to return to Scotland and claim the throne . </P> <P> Macbeth, meanwhile, visits the Three Witches again after the spectre of Banquo appears at the royal banquet . The Witches warn Macbeth to "beware Macduff, beware the Thane of Fife" (4.1. 81--82). Furthermore, they inform him that, "The power of man, for none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth" (4.1. 91--92). Macbeth, fearing for his position as King of Scotland, learns soon afterward that Macduff has fled to England to try to raise an army against him and orders the deaths of Macduff's wife, children and relatives . Macduff, who is still in England, learns of his family's deaths through Ross, another Scottish thane . He joins Malcolm, and they return to Scotland with their English allies to face Macbeth at Dunsinane Castle . </P> <P> After Macbeth slays the young Siward, Macduff charges into the main castle and confronts Macbeth . Although Macbeth believes that he cannot be killed by any man born of a woman, he soon learns that Macduff was "from his mother's womb / Untimely ripped" (5.10. 15--16). The two fight, and Macduff slays Macbeth offstage . Macduff ultimately presents Macbeth's head to Malcolm, hailing him as king and calling on the other thanes to declare their allegiance with him (5.11. 20--25). </P> <P> As a supporting character, Macduff serves as a foil to Macbeth; his integrity directly contrasts with Macbeth's moral perversion . In an exchange between the Scottish thane Lennox and another lord, Lennox talks of Macduff's flight to England and refers to him as "some holy angel" (3.6. 46) who "may soon return to this our suffering country / Under a hand accursed" (3.6. 48--49). The play positions the characters of Macduff and Macbeth as holy versus evil </P>
