Characters: Malcolm, Old siward and his son, Macduff, Menteth, Cathness, Angus, Lenox, Rosse, and soldiers.

Location: Country near Dunsinane. Next to Birnam forest.

Time: War time! (Nearly)

Events: The english army have arrived at Birnam forrest, and have decided to cut down the trees to use as camouflage to hide their true numbers. They also say Macbeth’s only hope is that the english army loses all their resources before they reach his castle.

Quote:”Let every hew him down a bough, and bear’t before him:” This is said by Siward as he tell everyone how they will camouflage them selves. This means that Birnam forest is coming to Dunsinane, making the witches prophecy begin to become true. And the thing is, Macbeth doesn’t know this yet.

Characters: Macbeth, Doctor, and some attendants. A person named Seyton.

Time: Prepare for war.

Location: Dunsinane, a room in the castle.

Events: Macbeth begins by saying to not bring him any reports, unless Birnam wood reach’s Dunsinane. Macbeth is saying that he fears nothing, not even Malcolm. Macbeth begins to insult a scared looking servant who just entered, who came to say 10,000 english soldiers are coming. 
The servant leaves, and then a person named Seyton. The doctor is also in the room, and they begin talking about Lady Macbeth, and her troubles. Macbeth continues to look for some easy way to fix the problems they face, and yet the doctor continues to say he can’t cure the mind. All but the doctor leave, and the doctor says that he regrets ever coming.

Quote:”The mind I sway by, and the heart I bear, Shall never sag with doubt, nor shake with fear.” This is said by Macbeth. What he is most likely speaking about is himself and how he knows he thinks differently to everyone else(He knows he’s mad) and he also knows that he has different values(Murder and treachery is fine.) And he believes he shall never doubt himself, or feel fear again. basically, he believes himself to be lacking in some of the main quality that make us human, and he is happy about it.

Characters: Menteth, Cathness, Angus, Lenox, and soldiers.

Location: Country near Dunsinane.

Time: The battle for Scotland.

Events: 4 soldiers talk of Macbeth and what he has caused. They also talk of how he is mad, and that he is evil. And while they talk, they have problems, and say how they ony continue to fight because they are loyal to Scotland.

Quote:” Some says he’s mad: others, that lesser hate him, Do call it valiant fury; but for certain, He cannot buckle his dis-tempered cause within the belt of rule.” This is said by Cathness, while he talks to his fellow solders. When he says this, he is meaning that they know Macbeth is mad/completely insane. Then he continue’s to say that those who don’t hate him as much(which imply’s that they all hate Macbeth to some degree), just call his madness ‘valiant fury’. Which he then adds how this view simply can not work with in the the legal rules of the country, which pretty much says that this soldier disagrees with him. All in all, Cathness: believes hes insane, hates him, and also disagrees with his king, Macbeth.
