What is the effect of these word choices on the tone of the play macbeth?

Anglo-Saxon values are not completely different to the attributes that we nowadays give to modern heroes. In fact, there are many characteristics that are common to both groups.

For example, Anglo-Saxon men were encouraged to be brave. Even when they were fearful, facing their fears was considered to be imporant for them to be full mature. Moreover, Anglo-Saxon men were responsible towards their families and communities. In the case of women, they were encouraged to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their families. They were also encouraged to work hard in order to care for their families and communities. All of these qualities are often found in modern heroes.
