MCB is my short hand for Macbeth

  • MCB is described as an incredibly violent and vicious killer in battle (able to cut a man from the belly button to the neck).
  • In Medieval times a thane (a nobleman / lord) would pledge his allegiance and loyalty to the king (Duncan in this case) and promise to fight his battles. In return he would get land, money, and power.
  • In medieval times the way to gain power and glory was to be seen as a brave, valiant killer in battles. This was seen as honourable.
