About the invasion:
- Donalbain is not among the attacking force. It is Malcolm and his supporters only.
- Malcolm (the heir apparent) leads the attacking force. He is accompanied by Siward and his son, as well as Macduff. Siward and Macduff are driven by revenge.
- The forces of Menteith, Caithness, Angus, and Lennox will meet Malcolm's at Birnam Wood.
- The attacking forces have more reason to believe in their cause because they have word that some of Macbeth's own men believe him mad.
- Much of the attacking force are young men who've never known battle.
About Macbeth's actions:
- He is fortifying Dunsinane.
- He knows that his men are revolting against him.
- He knows that the men who fight for him respect only his rank and office, but do not love him.
