4.2
1. There are 3 witches in this scene.
2. The first apparition says to be wary of Macduff and careful of him. The second tells Macbeth he should be a strong willed ruler- bold and brace. In other words he should not accept defeat. The third warns of attacking armies coming, and tells Macbeth he won't be defeated until the kingdom of Norway attacks.
Macbeth doesn't feel safe after the apparitions. He has worries about Macduff's intentions and the possibility of an oncoming attacking army. Yes he should feel unsafe because he is in a very precarious position.
After the fourth, the line of kings, Macbeth is terrified. He saw the ghost of Banquo at the end, whom he killed. This frightened him as well as drawing out his guilt.

3. In line 158 Macbeth learns from Lennox that Macduff is running away to England. In response Macbeth decides to send someone try to kill as many of Macduff's family members as he can.

1) Lady McDuff seems to feel betrayed and angry at McDuff because he left them (her and her son) to die. She was advising her son to dislike his father because he fled when he discovered that Macbeth is planning to kill him.
2) The purpose of the scene between Lady McDuff and her son is to have his son have false impression about his dad. Also, the scene assists in the growth of the theme : fair is foul and foul is fair. This is because Macbeth is willing to kill McDuff in order to achieve what is"rightfully" his and McDuff fled, afraid of Macbeth's actions towards him. It also shows how McDuff's son refused to believe that his father left them to die, showing devotion, faith, and trust.
3) The entire McDuff family ends up being killed by Macbeth.

4.3
1. Macduff's family has been killed.
2. Malcolm doesn't want to go home because he's afraid of judgement since he ran away. Malcolm is suspicious of Macduff bc Macduff has his own personal agenda. He might be secretly working for Macbeth since he left his family. Malcolm tests Macduff's loyalty to him and he passes. When Macduff starts to leave Malcolm takes back the lies he's told and trusts Macduff now- they're now allies.
3. Malcolm says he's a bad king but Macduff says Macbeth is a way worse king and that he needs to return to restore peace and justice. Avarice bothers Macduff more in a king, it sticks deeper with kings in the terms of greed and lust.

5 coming soon...
6. Ross tells Macduff that his family is dead, it takes him a while to tell him. Macduff says they must save their grief for later and Malcom says to turn their revenge into a medicine for their grief. Macduff says "he has no children" and he is referring to Malcom because he says he needs to mourn and "feel like a man" when Malcom tells him to dispute it like a man. To be a "man" in this play means to have feelings and don't hide but don't let them cloud your judgement.
7. Malcom, Macduff and Ross are ready to attack Macbeth's castle, they just need to go there.
