Macbeth at once sees that Malcolm is blocking his path to the throne and preventing the witches' prophecy from coming true. Macbeth begins to desire the Scottish throne and realizes that in order to get it he will have to be devious. He leaves ahead of the other lords and the king in order to prepare his castle for Duncan's arrival.
