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;

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
