To determine whether these statements are true or false, we can refer to the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. To get the answer, we can either recall our knowledge of the play or consult the text itself.
1. "Macbeth has just defended King Duncan in a war."
To check the accuracy of this statement, we need to consider the events that occur in Act 1 of Macbeth. In Act 1, we learn that Macbeth is a loyal and brave general who has fought for King Duncan. However, the play does not provide a specific account of Macbeth defending Duncan in a recent war. Therefore, this statement is false.
2. "The title, the thane of Cawdor, was given to Macbeth."
In Act 1, Macbeth is indeed given the title of Thane of Cawdor. After the original Thane of Cawdor is executed for treason, King Duncan grants the title to Macbeth as a reward for his bravery in battle. Therefore, this statement is true.
3. "Banquo notices Macbeth's uneasy reaction to the witches' prophecies."
In Act 1, after encountering the three witches, Macbeth is indeed visibly disturbed by their prophecies, particularly the idea of becoming king. Banquo observes this uneasiness in Macbeth's reaction and questions whether Macbeth is fearful or ambitious. Therefore, this statement is true.
In summary:
Statement 1: False
Statement 2: True
Statement 3: True
