In this scene we can see how Macbeth is as a ruler and as a person. Macbeth is troubled by internal revolt and his soldiers only obey him out of fear, but this opresses macbeths conscience. Then when he hears of the desertion of his army he rages out at a soldier.
Macbeth is a bad ruler. Rulers are suppose to be leaders that are not afraid of leading a country alone. Just imagine what he would do to someone that does not like him, just as he did with Macduff's wife and child. He is a leader that has to be believed in, or else, the people who don't could suffer great consequences.
Macbeth is following to the rule what the weird sisters have said, "Bring me no more reoprts, let them fly all; / Till Birnam Wood remove to Dunsinane, / i cannot taint with fear. What's the boy Malcolm? / Was he not born of woman? the spirits that know? /.../ Shall never sag with doubt nor shake with fear." (5, 3, 1-10) He disregards all news because he does not feal in peril.
After this speech, he insults the black servant by saying the devil has damned him black, and also calls him a goose. Caithness says that some call Macbeth crazy and others call him brave. Thos under his command only obey out of fear not of appraisal, says Angus.
