Detailed explanation-1: -Macdonwald is not a character who appears in the play. He is the leader of the rebel forces fighting against the King of Scotland. He is mentioned in Act I, scene 2, when Macbeth is praised for defeating Macdonwald in battle. Macbeth is given two new titles as a result of this victory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth is introduced as the brave man who led King Duncan’s forces to victory against the traitorous Thane of Cawdor, Macdonwald and The King of Norway, in a battle that could have gone either way were it not for Macbeth’s leadership. We learn that Macbeth killed Macdonwald himself in battle.
Detailed explanation-3: -A captain reports having seen Macbeth and Banquo fight bravely against the rebels and, in particular, Macbeth killed the traitorous MacDonwald.
