According to King Duncan's son Malcolm, the Thane of Cawdor faced his death far better than he had led his life. He owned up to the error of his ways and sought pardon from the King. In fact, Malcolm went so far as to say that the Thane's only praiseworthy act in an apparently worthless life was his embracing death. He indeed seemed to put more value on the dying than on the chance at life that he was losing.
