Consider these filial relationships
first:
a) King Duncan and his two sons--Malcolm and
Donalbain;
b) Banquo and his son,
Fleance;
c) Macduff and Lady Macduff and their
son;
d) Old Siward and his
son.
You may find other familial relations as well in the
play:
1) Duncan and Macbeth are two
cousins;
2) Ross and Lady Macduff are also
cousins;
3) Malcolm and Donalbain are two
brothers;
4) Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are husband and
wife;
5) Macduff and Lady Macduff are another conjugal
pair
You have mentioned the king-subjects relation, but
that does not fall in the familial/filial category, though king Duncan and more so the
English king may be seen as father figures.
