Question

Why are these lines from Act III important in the plot of the play?

Macbeth to Lady Macbeth

the time has been,
That, when the brains were out, the man would die,
And there an end; but now they rise again,
With twenty mortal murders on their crowns,
And push us from our stools: this is more strange
Than such a murder is

Using these lines from Act I and Act V, explain why it was important for Shakespeare to introduce the play with the account of Macbeth's performance in the battle against Macdonwald.

ACT I, Scene II

But all's too weak;
For brave Macbeth,—well he deserves that name,—
Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel,
Which smok'd with bloody execution,
Like valor's minion,Carv'd out his passage
Till he fac'd the slave;
And ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him

ACT V, Scene VII

What's more to do,
Which would be planted newly with the time,—
As calling home our exil'd friends abroad,
That fled the snares of watchful tyranny;
Producing forth the cruel ministers
Of this dead butcher, and his fiend-like queen,—
Who, as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands
Took off her life;

so far I have .. It is important for Shakespeare to introduce the play with the account of Macbeth's performance because Shakespeare adds a supernatural dimension. He has a darkness about him.
