There are five Scenes in the play which are Scene 3, so I cannot know what scene you are talking about. But I would recommend that instead of approaching this play with the preconceived notion that Macbeth's character is all about ambition, you approach it with an open mind. Macbeth certainly has ambitions about being king, but this is not abnormal or vicious in him. We do not think that Malcolm is abnormal or vicious because he has the same ambitions. Macbeth, we know from Act 1 Scene 7, is not so ambitious that he would kill his king to become king himself unless he were pushed by his extraordinarily manipulative wife. As she knows, he is "too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way." And once he has become king, he has no further ambitions. As is often the case when people have a preconceived idea which does not square with the evidence, your question suggests that the evidence which shows that he is not so ambitious must be a lie. You should consider that the lie is that Macbeth is unusually ambitious.
