Scene Summary:
Scottish troops, led by Angus, Lennox, and other soldiers, are headed toward Birnam Wood. There, they plan to meet up with Macduff, Malcolm, and their English troops. They all discuss Macbeth’s horrible leadership and the fact that he’s clearly in this for himself, rather than for Scotland. He’s just not king material, the Lords decide, and they’ve got to get him off the throne.
