“Now does he feel his title.
Hang loose about him like a giant’s robe
Upon a dwarfish thief”....
This is said about Macbeth. Menteith says this to suggest the diminishing power of Macbeth as a king. Every minute he feels his treachery because his own men are revolting against him. Those still support him offer lip-service, they do not serve him in love. Thus he feels ill-at case with his kingship.
The imagery is taken from dress. His robe of kingship hangs loose upon him, just as a giant’s robe sit loose upon a dwarf. The clothes image is brilliantly distorted. – Macbeth aspired to be giant (king) but only succeeded in being a dwarfish thief (by stealing the kingdom from Malcolm).

What is the mood of the speaker indicated her...
Macbeth is impatient and irritated to hear his own men flying. He then hears that ten thousand English soldiers are advancing towards him. Although he pins his faith on the prophecy of the witches that none of woman born can touch him, he feels extremely uneasy and restless. He has an instinctive sense that crisis has come to his life. This “push’ means the crisis or the enemy’s drive to oust him. This crisis will either cheer him or drive him out of the chair (seat).
This mood of impatience and desperation is followed by a mood of despair. He compares his life to autumnal season. His leaves are dry and yellow. He laments the loss of love, friendship and honour which old age longs for. He now gets lip-service and insincere homage. This longing for love and honour in his misery rouses our compassion for the man who is an irredeemable sinner.

Macbeth says this when he has come to the battlefield to meet the enemies. He will fight the enemies although he knows his cause is lost. Brutus, Cato, Antony, the Roman heroes committed suicide when they found that their defeat was inevitable. It was considered honourable by the Romans to commit suicide. But Macbeth intends to die fighting bravely in the battlefield.
