In this scene, the people who are supposed to be loyal to Macbeth are planning to rebel on Macbeth’s leadership. Lennox and another Lord even say that with Macbeth rolling the country, everything is out of the natural order. Lennox said that he heard that Malcom is trying to secure help to overthrow Macbeth in England. They therefore are planning to send their prayers to Malcom declaring their support, and they are trying to get the King of England help them overthrow the king of Scotland (Macbeth). All the people that Macbeth is supposed to trust are planning to over throw him.

LORD

     The son of Duncan—
From whom this tyrant holds the due of birth—
Lives in the English court and is received
Of the most pious Edward with such grace
That the malevolence of fortune nothing
Takes from his high respect. Thither Macduff
Is gone to pray the holy king upon his aid
To wake Northumberland and warlike Siward,
That by the help of these—with Him above
To ratify the work—we may again
Give to our tables meat, sleep to our nights,
Free from our feasts and banquets bloody knives,
Do faithful homage and receive free honors.
All which we pine for now. And this report
Hath so exasperated the king that he
Prepares for some attempt of war.
LENNOX

     And that well might
Advise him to a caution, t’ hold what distance
His wisdom can provide. Some holy angel
Fly to the court of England and unfold
His message ere he come, that a swift blessing
May soon return to this our suffering country
Under a hand accursed!
