Detailed explanation-1: -The sense of immense grief sets the stage for his desire to avenge them by eventually killing Macbeth. Siward, a minor character, speaks these lines at the end of the play when he learns that his son has been killed in battle. Even though he is grief-stricken, he is proud that his son died a brave and honorable death.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Siward, all soldier, asks, “Had he his hurts before?” (5.8. 46). 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-5: -What is the significance of Young Siward in Macbeth? Young Siward is a minor character who plays a significant role in the play. He is a young boy who is ready to prove he is a man by facing the tyrant, Macbeth. His death signifies honor and bravery, but also the eventual demise of Macbeth.
