Answer: Macbeth is frightened about the fight, and comforts himself by stating that he will at least die in a battle.

Explanation:

Shakespeare's <em>Macbeth</em> is a play about a man's ambition to become a king. He eventually does achieve his goal, but at a cost: having killed both King Duncan and Banquo, Macbeth is consumed with guilt.

In <em>Act V, Scene V</em>, Macbeth has just found out that his wife is dead, when a messenger informs him that the trees of Birnam Wood are are advancing towards Dunsinane. Shocked by both news, Macbeth remembers the witches' prophecy that he would not die until Birnam Wood came to Dunsinane. This makes him even more terrified.

It seems that, at this point, Macbeth is ready to die. Although afraid, he tells his men that they will at least die <em>'with our armor on.'</em>

What did macbeth see before me?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Macbeth has made his decision to kill the King and take the crown as his own. Inspired in part by his own ambition, the decision to murder Duncan is aided by the prophecies of the Witches as well as the insistent urging of his wife. Still, Macbeth is wracked with guilt over what he is about to do, and his mind races with thoughts of such evil action. He begins to hallucinate and sees a bloody dagger in the air, which will be his instrument of murder. He goes on to comment on the wickedness of the world, thoughts which are interrupted by the ringing of the bell, a signal from Lady Macbeth that Duncan's guards are drugged and sleeping. He goes off to complete the dire deed. Shakespeare's Macbeth is notable for hallucinations, terrifying dreams, witches, prophecies and all of the combining forces of nature which lead to chaos and murder in the gloomy countryside of Scotland.
