Ross goes to Lady Macduff and tells he that Macduff as left the land to go find Malcolm in hopes that he will come take over the land and get rid of Macbeth. These news makes Lady Macduff scared that her son will have to live on without a father. As they talk about what they will do if Macduff doesn't return a messenger comes warning them to leave. As they are gathering there coats, murderers enter and kill all of Macduff's "chickens".
Macduff gets to Malcolm and tells him of the horrible things that Macbeth has done and tells him of how he wants him to come back and take over the land. At first Malcolm believes that this is a trick. Macbeth has tricked him before so he is going to test Macduff. He explains to Macduff that once Macbeth is gone, that he will do a worse job than him. His goal for this test is to see if Macduff will disregard his king and praise him. He also tests Macduff to say that his greed and lust is okay, because no amount of greed and lust can beat what Macbeth has done to their land.
