I'm not that tall - I reckon I'm about average
I can't see my eyes, so can't comment. You're probably wrong, though. None too smart; modest only in a Uriah Heap kind of a way; funny-ish-on-a-good-day isn't the same as funny.

I am quite good at sounding as though I know what I'm talking about.
Maybe I'll give myself +2 for that.

That's precisely where MacBeth lacks realism.
Had the King said "wind an' pish" instead of "sound and fury", it'd've been an entirely accurate reconstruction of mediaeval Scottish politics.

Hmm

Gracious my lord,
I should report that which I say I saw,
But know not how to do it.

Macbeth
FFS, min. Oot wi' it!

As I did stand my watch upon the hill,
I look'd toward Birnam, and anon, methought,
The wood began to move.

Macbeth
Away an' shite!

First witch: Crown?
Second witch: Ooh, sir, suit you, sir...
