∙ 12y agoIn Act 1, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's "Macbeth," King Duncan awards Macbeth the title of Thane of Cawdor for his bravery in battle against the traitorous forces. This title is given to Macbeth to honor his loyalty and valor on the battlefield.
He gives him the title thane of Cawdor since the other Cawdor was a traitor
The Thane of Cawdor is going to be executed for treason as he betrayed King Duncan's army. Macbeth will be granted the title of Thane of Cawdor in his place.
"All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!" Macbeth is actually already Thane of Cawdor when the witches. Macbeth was fighting the Norwegians and Macdonweald at Forres when someone else was fighting the Norwegians and Cawdor at Fife, so Macbeth is not even aware that the Thane of Cawdor is an attainted traitor. Hence he scoffs at the idea that he could be Cawdor when "the Thane of Cawdor lives, a prosperous gentleman". However, Ross, Duncan, the witches and the audience know that Macbeth is the new Thane of Cawdor, even though he doesn't.
No, Macbeth was already Thane of Glamis.Quote from original Mabeth scene 3."FIRST WITCH.All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!SECOND WITCH.All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!THIRD WITCH.All hail, Macbeth! that shalt be king hereafter!""MACBETH.Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more:By Sinel's death I know I am Thane of Glamis;But how of Cawdor? The Thane of Cawdor lives...":)
Macbeth- Act 1, Scene 3- Banquo says this to Macbeth because the witches just told MAcbeth he is the Thane of Cawdor and the Thane of Cawdor is still alive.
in Shakespear's play Macbeth ,Macbeth becomes the thane of cawdor so its saying kinda all bow to Macbeth This is from the witches predictions. At this point Macbeth is the thane of Glamis, meaning he is the lord of a place called glamis. When the witches say all hail to thee thane of cawdor, they are predicting that Macbeth will be the thane of cawdor. Shalt be King Hereafter-- witches predict Macbeth will become King
The Thane of Glamis was a title held by Macbeth in William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth." Initially, Macbeth is Thane of Glamis before becoming the Thane of Cawdor and eventually the King of Scotland.
the audience know that Macbeth is goin to become the thane of cawdor however Macbeth does not know that he has given this title.
MacDonwald the Thane of Cawdor(Whoops! Macbeth does, in fact, disembowel and decapitate Macdonwald, but Macdonwald is not the Thane of Cawdor.)
