Detailed explanation-1: -What do the stage directions indicate about what happens to Macbeth’s body? His body will be fed to the birds.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ‘armed’ and severed head represents Macbeth’s bloody fall from power. However, the head can also symbolize Macbeth himself and his murderous actions, rather than any external threat.
Detailed explanation-4: -As Act II Scene ii begins, the audience, like Lady Macbeth, may be unsure that Macbeth will follow through. If Shakespeare had placed the murder onstage, this sense of tension would not be as high.
Detailed explanation-5: -Macduff kills Macbeth, cuts off his head, and brings it to Malcolm. With Macbeth dead, Malcolm is now king and gives new titles to his loyal supporters.
