Malcolm says, "Let's go share our sorrows together."  Macduff says, "No, let's be men and not cry."
 How is this ironic later in the scene?

• Macduff and Malcolm end the scene joking and enjoying each other's company
• By the end of the scene, all three men no longer are concerned about Scotland
• By the end of the scene, both Macduff and Malcolm are crying.
• Macduff wants to weep and Malcolm is urging him to be strong

Why does Malcolm misrepresent himself to Macduff and pretend that he's lustful, greedy, and terrorizing?

• Malcolm thought Macduff was responsible for Duncan's murder
• Malcolm wanted to punish Macduff for not arriving in time to save his father
• Malcolm did not want to return to Scotland
• Malcolm wanted to be sure Macduff wasn't tricking him to betray him to Macbeth
