Darkness
"Black Macbeth" - Pg 184, Malcolm
"Black scruples" - Pg 188, Malcolm
Essentially in Scene 3, The dark cloud that is Macbeth has descended over Scotland and Macduff has gone to England to get help. He runs in to Malcolm and is trying to convince him to come back to Scotland and become king. Malcolm however is not sure if he can trust Macduff after all it could be a trap, because Malcolm's father was killed and as far as Malcolm knows someone could still be after him. So when Macduff asks him to come back and replace Macbeth, Malcolm says that he would be a terrible king much worse than "Black Macbeth" (meaning that Macbeth is a dark and evil king but Malcolm says he would be by far worse). However once Ross shows up and tells Macduff about what happened to Macduff's family, Malcolm begins to believe Macduff and says that he was lying about him being a bad king and that he would go with them to Scotland and become king.

It is very good, I believe that there should be more talking about how darkness and murder progress. Had Macbeth not killed his family would he be so dark and evil?
