Macduff reaches England. Malcolm, the king’s son who fled, is there. The two of them sit down together.
Malcolm does not believe him straight away. The man might have been sent by Macbeth. So he uses a strange method.
He says that if he were king he would be worse than Macbeth. His greed would have no end and he would ruin the country. Macduff hears it and sinks down where he sits.
