Ross is Macduff's cousin and originally a loyal Scottish noble, throughout the play he rarely makes any appearance which is great when it comes to analyzing his role in Macbeth. He is known as a messenger, for whenever he is talking he is always giving some type of news or report. We first meet him in Act 1, when he delivers news of Macbeth's victory over the king of Norway to King Duncan. He also later on reports the oddness of the day when Duncan was murdered, which is when Macbeth realizes the witches prophecies are coming true. In other words he is the messenger of today.
