What was the title that duncan gave to Macbeth?
Some people might think that Duncan gives this title to Macbeth because Macbeth was instrumental in capturing the traitor Thane of Cawdor. But this is wrong. The Thane of Ross brings the news to Duncan of Cawdor's treachery but does not name Macbeth as the man that captures him. Ross is then told to find Macbeth and tell him that he is now the Thane of Cawdor. When Ross tells him this, Macbeth is astonished: he says "The thane of Cawdor lives--a prosperous gentleman! Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?" He would not have been astonished had he been the man to capture Cawdor. What is more, Ross is not surprised that he is astonished, because Ross knows that Macbeth has not yet heard of Cawdor's treachery. It is possible that Duncan misunderstood Ross's report and believed that Macbeth could simultaneously be in Forres (in northern Scotland) and Fife (in southern Scotland) fighting two different battles at the same time. If he was that much of a dimwit about the geography of the country he was supposed to be king of, then he might have rewarded Macbeth for something he did not do. It is far more likely that Macbeth receives the title either because Duncan wants to reward the brave and victorious Macbeth who defeated Macdonweald, or that his choice of Macbeth as the recipient is entirely arbitrary.
How did Macbeth respond to Ross's news?
The news from Angus and Ross was received with distrust by Banquo and with disbelief by Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. In Act 1 Scene 3 of the Shakespearean play, the three witches greeted Macbeth as Thane of Glamis, which he already was; Thane of Cawdor, which he didn't know himself to be; and King of Scotland, which he knew that he wasn't. They then disappeared as quickly as they had appeared. Next, the noble Scotsmen Angus and Ross showed up with surprising news. They told Macbeth of his being granted the vacated earthly title and possessions of the Thane of Cawdor. Banquo essentially made the distrustful observation that the Devil wasn't in the truthtelling business. As he later explained, mortals needed to worry when supernaturals made their nefarious presence and actions known. In contrast, Macbeth was taken aback by the improbability of the situation. The last thing that he knew, Cawdor was alive. He additionally might have been disbelieving of the news that King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] would have given him such a powerful noble title and such a profitable possession. The King mightn't have been known to share. After all, he found a 'thank you' sufficient for Banquo's role in saving Scotland from invaders and traitors

Who said 'The Thane of Cawdor lives Why do you dress me In borrowed robes'?
In Act 1 Scene 2, the noblemen Angus and Ross met up with friends and fellow Generals Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and Banquo. In the course of the conversation, Ross said that he was the bearer of good news from King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. The King had given the title and possessions of the Thane of Cawdor to Macbeth. Macbeth didn't know that Cawdor had confessed to betraying his sovereign and asked to be punished. Cawdor held a powerful title and profitable properties. The disposition of Cawdor's earthly titles and possessions was the King's decision to make. Perhaps the King wasn't known for sharing outside of his immediate family. After all, his reward to Banquo for saving crown and county was just a 'thank you'. At any rate, the whole situation was unbelievable to Macbeth even though the witches previously had hailed him as Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland. First and foremost, he didn't know of Cawdor's execution. And so, in Lines 108-109, Macbeth asked Angus and Ross, 'The Thane of Cawdor lives./Why do you dress me/In borrowed robes'?
