In Act I, Shakespeare has the Sergeant state that in bombarding the enemies of Scotland, Macbeth and Banquo "meant to bathe in reeking wounds, / Or memorise another Golgotha"

How does this allusion to Golgotha, the site of Jesus's crucifixion, affect the opening of the play?

A. It helps Shakespeare show that Macbeth is well-read and intelligent, which makes audiences admire him.

B. It helps Shakespeare convey the brutality and cruelty that Macbeth exhibited on the battlefield, thereby quickly establishing his character's traits.

C. It lets Shakespeare suggest that Macbeth humbly sacrificed himself on the battlefield, thus making him a more sympathetic figure.

D. It allows Shakespeare to depict Macbeth as a figure whose faith guides his efforts, so his later behavior is especially unexpected.
