Act 5: Scottish Rebels Arrive

       In Act 5 Scene 2, Scottish rebels join Malcolm's army in Birnam Wood to overthrow Macbeth. The rebels think that Macbeth could not fill the shoes of the old king which is evident in lines 20-22 when one says, "...his title hang loose about him, like a giant's robe upon a dwarfish thief." Even Macbeth's soldiers are not loyal to him and do not respect him, so they can be easily swayed to leave his side. Every soldier fighting Macbeth is a drop of medicine to make Scotland well again.
