We never know what tomorrow will give us‚ but tomorrow is the reason why we become stronger

Shakespeare presents Macbeth as a strong and brave character throughout the entire play‚ however‚ he takes great care to give the audience that information when he introduces Macbeth for the first time. This is to solidify in the audience’s minds that Macbeth is a valiant and loyal subject before he is exposed to the prophecy.
