Through the bleeding Captain's report to King Duncan I (d. August 14, 1040) of Scotland the absent Macbeth was introduced to readers and viewers of the Shakespearean play in Act 1 Scene 2.
Specifically, the Captain told of Macbeth courageously hacking his way through the overwhelming numbers of invading Norwegians and rebellious Scotsmen. He spoke of Macbeth's going straight for one of the leaders, Macdonwald the treacherous Scotsman. With the traitor's beheading, Macbeth reversed what seemed the makings of a humiliating defeat into clear victory for king and country.
In Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth is onstage and Lady Macbeth is not. I think Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 5 is heading back to his castle called "Inverness" to talk to his wife (Lady Macbeth) about what happened with the witches and to come back from the war that just happened. Possibly you were thinking of Act 2 Scene 2 where she is talking and he is stabbing Duncan.

In Macbeth's soliloquy in act 2 scene 1, Macbeth imagines that a dagger is leading him to the place where he is to kill King Duncan. This is an example of the power of Macbeth's imagination and how easily it can take over.
Shakespeare chose not to introduce Macbeth in Act 1, Scene 2 of the play "Macbeth" in order to build suspense and intrigue around the character. By delaying Macbeth's entrance, Shakespeare allows the audience to gradually discover his character through the reactions and descriptions of others before he finally appears on stage, creating a sense of anticipation and mystery.

In Scene 1 of Macbeth, Macbeth vows to ponder whether the prophesied crown will fall into his hands by chance or through violence. This vow is carried out in Scene 2 when Macbeth starts to contemplate the idea of killing King Duncan in order to take the throne.

The line "For brave Macbeth—well he deserves that name—/Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel" (Act 1, Scene 2) best illustrates Macbeth's bravery as a hero in the beginning of the play.
In Act 2, Scene 1 of Macbeth, the king, Duncan, is in a pleasant and gracious mood. He comments on the beauty of Macbeth's castle and expresses gratitude towards Lady Macbeth for hosting him.

In the tragedy of Macbeth Act 2 Scene 2, Lady Macbeth is signaled that the murder has been accomplished when she hears the sound of a bell signaling that the deed is done. She also sees Macbeth carrying the bloody daggers that he used to kill Duncan.
