 Studying Macbeth, let's discuss how he is presented in act one, scene two by the captain or the sergeant when they are discussing how Macbeth fights in the battlefield. The captain when describing the battle says, doubtful it stood and the assonance here emphasizes how Macbeth and Banquo really had the odds stacked against them. This similarly also shows how exhausted Banquo and Macbeth were, but they kept on going. The caesura here emphasizes that they were facing massive odds. The alliteration here in describing Mercedes McDonald shows the massive threat that he posed Macbeth. McDonald was shown to have been very likely to win because the captain says fortune on his damned crawl smiling and this personification of fortune here shows that everything was in McDonald's favor. Yet the adjective brave Macbeth really sets Macbeth up as a massive hero in our eye. Macbeth is disdaining fortune and the verb here disdaining shows he doesn't care about fortune, he still decides to fight even if the odds are against him. Macbeth fights like Valasminian carved out his passage and the ambit pentameter here shows just how admirable Macbeth is. Macbeth's bravery is shown through the violent verbs unseen and fixed. He won this battle.
