Detailed explanation-1: -In the final scene of the play, Ross informs Siward of his son’s death, saying “like a man he died.” Siward expresses his gratitude that his son died honorably, and says he is sure that his son has become a soldier of God.
Detailed explanation-2: -Siward is asking if his son was wounded on the front of his body, which would show that he died fighting. (Siward doesn’t want to hear that the wounds were on his son’s back, which would mean that he died while trying to run away.)
Detailed explanation-3: -His body is safe, he’s saying, not lost; you’ll be able to bury him. And your cause of sorrow must not be measured by his worth, for then it hath no end. If you were to grieve in proportion to how good a death he made, what a fine young man he was, then you’d be grieving for ever-and so you won’t be able to.
Detailed explanation-4: -On the battlefield Macbeth kills young Siward, the son of the English commander. After Macbeth exits, Macduff arrives in search of him. Dunsinane Castle has already been surrendered to Malcolm, whose forces have been strengthened by deserters from Macbeth’s army.
