Detailed explanation-1: -Malcolm rewards his loyal thanes by making them Scotland’s first earls; he calls his people home from exile, and invites them to see him crowned. The broken circle seems mended as Malcolm – the son of the murdered King Duncan – is restored to the Scottish throne.
Detailed explanation-2: -Duncan’s eldest son, Malcolm, is named the Prince of Cumberland, a position which Macbeth notes he must ‘o’erleap’ to become King.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macduff emerges with Macbeth’s head in his hand and proclaims Malcolm King of Scotland. Malcolm declares that all his thanes will be made earls, according to the English system of peerage.
Detailed explanation-4: -A captain reports having seen Macbeth and Banquo fight bravely against the rebels and, in particular, Macbeth killed the traitorous MacDonwald. As a reward, King Duncan determines to give Macbeth the title of Thane of Cawdor and sends Ross as his messenger to deliver to news to Macbeth.
Detailed explanation-5: -The English and rebel Scottish armies, under the leadership of Malcolm, meet at Birnam Wood. With military foresight, Malcolm orders each soldier to cut a branch and carry it in front of him as camouflage “to shadow the numbers of our host”-that is, to conceal the actual size of the advancing army.
