Detailed explanation-1: -In the play, we see two versions of Macbeth; the fair Thane of Glamis version of Macbeth who was a good man and a war hero and the foul Thane of Cawdor Macbeth, who is a murderer and a tyrant. A Thane would have been something like an Earl or Duke.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of Act 1 Scene 7, Macbeth has made up his mind. After Lady Macbeth’s urging, convincing, and manipulation, Macbeth has decided that he will kill King Duncan so that he may become king himself.
Detailed explanation-3: -Almost as soon as they are gone, Ross and Angus arrive with news that the king has named Macbeth “Thane of Cawdor.” Macbeth contemplates killing Duncan in order to become “king hereafter” as the witches have called him.
Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of the play, Macbeth’s severed head is brought to Malcolm by Macduff, proof that Macbeth has been overthrown, and that Scotland is now Malcom’s to rule. Malcolm promises rewards to all who have fought for him, and names them all earls, the first in Scotland.
