In this scene everyone has found out that King Duncan is dead. Macbeth is weary that many people suspect him as the killer. Everyone finds out he was killed when Macduff says ‘Oh, horror, horror, horror! This is beyond words and beyond belief”, which means that someone broke into the castle and took the life of the king. Macbeth then pretends to care for the king’s death. However the guards are also accused, as they were covered in blood. Donaldbain then says he will go to Ireland as he is in fear of also being murdered.
