Detailed explanation-1: -Malcolm suspects that Macduff is Macbeth’s agent sent to lure Malcolm to his destruction in Scotland. After Malcolm tests Macduff and finds him sincere, Malcolm reveals that Edward, king of England, has provided a commander (Siward) and ten thousand troops for the invasion of Scotland.
Detailed explanation-2: -Malcolm. They can take comfort, for we are coming there. The good king of England has lent us Siward and ten thousand soldiers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Summary: Macduff meets up with Malcolm in England and the two make plans for how to overthrow Macbeth and take back their kingdom. Malcolm’s a little suspicious of Macduff though, so he attempts to suss out whether the thane is loyal to Scotland, or just in it for himself.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the country near Birnam Wood, Malcolm talks with the English lord Siward and his officers about Macbeth’s plan to defend the fortified castle. They decide that each soldier should cut down a bough of the forest and carry it in front of him as they march to the castle, thereby disguising their numbers.
Detailed explanation-5: -Malcolm gives orders that to hide the size of their army, all soldiers should cut a branch from a tree and hold it upright as they march. The first block of Macbeth’s fate falls into place: Birnam Wood will march on Dunsisnane.
