Brief Character analyses of 'Macbeth'.
Or,
Short note on the Character of 'Macbeth' in William Shakespeare's play Macbeth.
In Act1 Sc2 of Macbeth, a tremendous tragedy by William Shakespeare, we see that the bleeding captain and Rosse describe the incident of the battlefield of Fife. They very vehemently assert the trecherousness of Macdownald as well as the brave and courageous battle of Macbeth, the tragic hero of the play.
The 'bloody' captain hails Macbeth by saying 'valour's minion' and Rosse praises him by 'Bellona's bridegroom'.
In the phrase, 'valour's minion', 'valour' means intrepidity, courage or bravery and 'minion' means favourite. Here, Macbeth is addressed as the darling of bravery . It lights up on the courageous nature of Macbeth.
In the phrase, 'Bellona's bridegroom', Bellona is the Roman goddess of war and Macbeth is considered to be the husband of Bellona, meaning that he is no way inferior in valour to the god of war. In paying a glowing tribute to Macbeth for his bravery, Rosse refers to him as a man newly married to the goddess of war. It also finely highlights the bravery and courage of Macbeth.
