Malcolm orders his men to throw down the branches they carry. The first charge against Dunsinane commences under Siward and Macduff.
In the fighting, Macbeth encounters and fights Young Siward. Though Young Siward is brave, Macbeth quickly kills him and says in a mocking tone that he fears no man of woman born.
Macduff searches for Macbeth, vowing to kill him to avenge his family.
Malcolm and Siward meet. They have easily captured the castle because Macbeth’s men barely fight back.
Analysis :
A reminder of the second half of the prophecy protecting Macbeth. Emphasis on Macduff’s need for revenge against Macbeth. The play is building suspense , and thus creating a sense of excitement. Macbeth’s men don’t even fight for him. His rule is utterly hollow, his common man his turned against him , being King can no longer help him – Macbeth is completely weak, Ironically weaker than before he went on his tryant rampage.
