Queen Elizabeth’s purpose in this passage is to rally her troops up and ready them for war, and convince them that she is fit to lead them even though she is a woman and she will fight alongside them to prove it.
In Act 1 scene 1 of Macbeth, three witches meet and conspire to meet Macbeth.
Explanation:
The three witches are a supernatural presence that dominates the stage throughout the play and are introduced right at the beginning of the play. This is because of the fact that the witches conspire to give Macbeth a prophecy about his life that will make him conspire and doubt his own position too.
Thus, Macbeth is to be met indirectly in the play here as the audience is left to guess the nature of the play that they are about to see and how it is going to affect the plot.
