To emphasize Macbeth's bravery because the captain was wounded and unable to lead his soldiers.<span />

If Macbeth himself was talking about his own bravery, he would most likely be perceived as arrogant or cocky. If he was talking about what he did, he could be perceived as an untouchable hero and most likely, hard to relate to. But when someone else is talking about him, you don't take the risk of having the character to be misinterpreted by the reader because someone is already doing it for them, at least at first.

<em>Shakespeare wanted to emphasize Macbeth's bravery since the captain, who was the narrator at that time, was wounded and unable to lead his soldiers.</em>

yawa3891 [41]

In "A Defence of Poetry,” Shelley suggests that emotions experienced in life are constantly changing. The following lines from "Mutability” can also be seen as a reflection of this idea:

   We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;

   Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away

This lines are saying that our emotions change, laugh reflects joy while weeping reflects sadness. Also, one can hold on to woes (sufferings) or one can let go of those. This lines are expressing different emotions one has and therefore reflects the idea that emotions are constantly changing throughout life.
