Macbeth in act one is more like a calm person. But him and Banquo are like two partners who fight with on side of each other having there friends back in battle, “As cannons overcharged with double cracks, So they doubly redouble stroke upon the foe” (1.2.36-38), it says that they were working together like cannons with two explosion shoot off, so they deliver twice the damage, so they are a team that the Captain shows to be fearful. Macbeth is more into the great thought that he is the one who will be king so he isn't skeptical about the witch encounter but Banquo is, ”Or have we eaten on the insane root that takes the reason prisoner?” (1.3.84-85). Banquo questions more than macbeth and ask if evil ca actually speak the truth. Lade Macbeth shows that she is a strong lady, she is so strong that she can be a man, “Come to m woman's breast and take my milk for gall.” (1.5.47-48) she means that let the spirits take her breast milk and take her woman body parts away from her to show that she is not weak female.
There are certain themes that are used in Act one of Macbeth. One is that Macbeth respects the Witches prophecy, even though he questioned what he will have to do in order to fulfill
the prophecy, but even though he didn't think about it much until the decision to kill Duncan was made, Duncan trusteed Macbeth very much but even thought Trust is also a theme, it’s not a theme that is expressed in the most positive way, because Macbeth betrays the king and turns up to kill him. Macbeth is the right full person who should rule but only in the prophecy of the witches but either way he goes along with it.
“Till he unseamed him from nave to th’ chops, And fixed his head upon our battlements.” (1.2.21-22) this quote is striking because it shows the striking blow that Macbeth gave to his enemy, cutting him from the lower body parts all the way to his jaw, and then throwing his head into the battle field. It shows that Macbeth has no fear when he comes to fighting hand on hand combats.
