At Inverness, Lady Macbeth reads a letter from Macbeth that describes his meeting with the witches. She fears that his nature is not ruthless enough to murder Duncan and complete the witches prophesy. He has ambition, but not enough. She implored Macbeth to hurry home so that Lady Macbeth can goad him into the murder he must commit. When a messenger arrives to confirm that Duncan is coming, Lady Macbeth calls on the heavenly powers to fill her with cruelty. When Macbeth arrives, she urges him to 'act like a flower, but behave like a serpent underneath. She then says that she will make preparation for the King's visit and subsequent murder
