The forest will move closer to your castle. At last, the 3 witches disappeared and Macbeth has a lot more confidence because he knows what is going to happen next (the witches are tricking him).
Act 3 Scene 6: Lennox and this other guy suspects that Macbeth is the murderer. Macduff fled to England with Malcolm to build an army so they can come back and become King(take over Macbeth), because Macduff thinks that Macbeth murdered King Duncan.
