Detailed explanation-1: -My thanes and kinsmen, henceforth be Earls, the first that ever Scotland in such an honor named. We will establish our estate upon our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter The Prince of Cumberland. Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what thou art promised. Yet I do fear thy nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Accursèd be that tongue that tells me so, For it hath cowed my better part of man! And break it to our hope. I’ll not fight with thee.
Detailed explanation-3: -His function in the text is to represent order – fixed, unyielding order – in contrast to the chaotic nightmare that Scotland has become under Macbeth. Malcolm is like his father, whose job it was to punish wrongdoing, reward good acts and keep things going on an even keel.
Detailed explanation-4: -“As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have; but, in their stead, Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not”
Detailed explanation-5: -Macbeth says to himself that the king “Hath borne his faculties [royal powers] so meek, hath been / So clear [uncorrupted] in his great office, that his virtues / Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against / The deep damnation of his taking-off” (1.7. 17-20).
