MacDonwald the Thane of Cawdor(Whoops! Macbeth does, in fact, disembowel and decapitate Macdonwald, but Macdonwald is not the Thane of Cawdor.)
The Scottish traitor, Macdonwald.
Macdonwald was the leader of the rebel forces who were fighting against the King of Scotland. In Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Macbeth is rewarded for killing Macdonwald, however, it is generally believed that Macdonwald may have actually committed suicide in real life.
No. Macdonwald was "unseamed" (killed) by Macbeth in Forress, Scotland. The Thane of Cawdor was captured the previous day at a battle in Fife (over a hundred miles away. We hear of the execution of the Thane of Cawdor in Act I, scene iv; Macdonwald already has his decpitated head placed on the battlements in Act I, scene ii. Hence, they cannot be the same person.
One of the rebellious Scotsmen is the identity of "merciless" Macdonwald in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, Macdonwald and the Thane of Cawdor are two noblemen who specifically are named as traitors to reigning King Duncan (d. August 14, 1040). They join forces with other disgruntled Scotsmen and an invading army of Norwegians. The battle in which Norwegians and rebel Scotsmen are defeated is the subject of Act I Scene II.
Yes he was a traitor, he fought against the colonies for the British
That person is called a Traitor.
A person who goes against their own country is often referred to as a "traitor" or a "defector," depending on the circumstances of their actions.
The the traitors at the start of the play are a rebellion of Highlanders and Islanders, led by Macdonwald and Sweno, the king of Norway who was assissted by the Thane of Cawdor. King Duncan orders the execution of the Thane of Cawdor and hands his title to Macbeth as a reward.
