 Studying Macbeth? Here's how you can analyse Act 1, Scene 2. The Sergeant, all Captain depending on your copy, reports to King Duncan about Macbeth's valiant fighting. This speech establishes Macbeth as a tragic hero. This metaphor shows that Macbeth and Banquo have been fighting alongside each other and they were getting exhausted. The Cesura hair as well as the Illiteration hair show that Macbeth and Banquo were fighting against the previous lane of Caudal. Fortune is personified as smiling and personification hair shows that Fortune was favouring MacDonald but this did not discourage Macbeth. The adjective brave establishes Macbeth as a valiant hero in our eyes. He doesn't care about Fortune and the Cesura hair shows that he is still brave in spite of what's against him. The Sibylans still and smoked shows that Macbeth was a fearless warrior. He then violently kills the previous lane of Caudal. Macbeth then beheads him and this foreshadows how Macduff will kill Macbeth later on.
