In Act 1, Scene 2 of Macbeth, there has been a battle
raging. The King of Norway is in a conflict with the King Scotland. Part of the the
major conflict is that the Thane of Cawdor is a traitor. He is a rebel and has allied
with the King of Norway, going against King Duncan's men. Clearly, the Thane of Cawdor
has deceived King Duncan:
The King of Norway himself, with terrible
numbers of men, Assisted by that most disloyal traitor, The Baron of Cawdor, began a
dismal conflict; Until the goddess of war’s bridegroom, disguised as truth, Confronted
him with comparisons to himself, such as How they were both rebellious and both armed
alike, Curbing his wild spirit. And, to conclude, The victory fell on
us.
Thanks to Macbeth and
Banquo, Duncan's men prevail and win the victory. Macbeth's and Banquo's swords become
bloody weapons, sparing none of the enemy. Ultimately, the Thane of Cawdor is executed
and the conflict ends. Macbeth is honored in his place and becomes the new Thane of
Cawdor. At this point in the story, Macbeth proves himself a great soldier, worthy to
lead as the Thane of Cawdor.
