Detailed explanation-1: -As a warrior, Macbeth exhibits very traditional masculine traits including bravery and strength. When Macbeth fights he is seen to be a courageous warrior who is willing to lay his life down on the battlefield. Thus, Macbeth is awarded with the title of Thane of Cawdor by Duncan for his bravery in battle.
Detailed explanation-2: -His strength is underscored by the captain’s graphic account of Macbeth’s actions on the battlefield. Macbeth did not simply kill Macdonald; he “unseam’d him from the nave to the chops, / And fix’d his head upon our battlements” (22-23)-a reference that foreshadows Macbeth’s death at the end of the play.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is also how we are introduced to Banquo. What image do we have of Macbeth’s bravery and ability as a warrior? Concentrate on the image of Macbeth “carving out his passage” and then essentially slicing Macdonwald in half and cutting off his head.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the beginning, Macbeth is a strong, brave and noble soldier. He is considered brave by all the people he was fighting around. When the captain is relaying the events of the battle, we find him saying to the king “For brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name” (1.2. 16).
