Characters and relationships

Who's this? Pal Aron plays Malcolm.

Context: Malcolm appears briefly in Act 1 and he is named Prince of Cumberland by his father, Duncan. This means he will inherit the throne. In Act 2 Scene 3 he runs off to England to avoid the blame for Duncan's murder. We don't hear from him again until near the end of the play when Macduff goes to England to find him as the rightful heir to Scotland.
