The description that does NOT characterize Macbeth in a similar way is D. Ross's description of Macbeth being confronted by someone who is equally brave and well-equipped ("Bellona's bridegroom, lapped in proof"). The other descriptions highlight Macbeth's skill and bravery in battle, with the use of his sword ("brandished steel"), his valor as a soldier ("valiant cousin, worthy gentleman"), and his ability to deliver powerful blows to the enemy ("doubly redoubled strokes").
