- The act starts off with the witches doing some rituals and being their weird selves
- Macbeth shows up wanting questions because he is getting a bit scared
- He finds out that he has no immediate threats, but he will kill Macduff just to be safe
- When he asks more questions, he is warned to stop asking so many questions
- The witches leave Macbeth and mock his worries
- This is where Macbeth declares that he will execute his thoughts from now on without thinking
- Lady Macduff is complaining about her husband running away
- She then is warned to run away with her son, but she doesn't listen and her son dies and she is then pursued
- There seems to be a little bit of friction between Macduff and Malcolm
- But they do agree that Scotland is screwed pretty much whether they kill Macbeth or not because they won't be good kings either
- Macduff finds out that his family dies and vows to take revenge on the people who did it, mostly Macbeth
Macbeth has become so paranoid about his life now he has to turn to the witches to clarify his future. Him seeing the ghost of Banquo once again might signify that he is feeling a bit of guilt, but at this point in the play he could care less about the other people and just wants to keep himself alive. So now he vows to let his actions speak, with his first order of business is killing off Macduff and his family. This just shows that he is really scared of competition and even though he may not regret what he did, all this will eventually catch up to him in the near future.
