L. 4: T.Q. 3
Macbeth treats his servants like trash, even when they have done nothing wrong. In (5.3.11-21) he ridicules one of his servant's white face, calling him a, "...white-faced fool." for no reason at all. Macbeth also seems more worried about the servants white face than the English army that is approaching. This fits with Angus's comment about Macbeth's ill-fitting robes because if Macbeth could truly fill his kingly duties that Angus describes as royal robes then he would be more worried about the English army and he would treat his servants better.
