Malcolm and Donalbain first react to the news of their father's murder with confusion, then with a kind of dull amazement that they are not capable of showing grief at this time.

But their grief is genuine, and that of the Macbeths is not. This feeling is shortly replaced by fear, the fear that they are next on the list. That was probably true enough.
