What good luck! Macbeth has been promoted to Thane of Cawdor. This was exactly what the Witches prophesied, but the best is yet to come. They had also predicted that Macbeth would become the future king. Macbeth is ambitious, but i fear he is too full of natural human goodness to catch the nearest way.

No matter, I shall persuade him to do whatever is required to seize the crown. Hurry back, My Lord, so I can influence you with my ruthlessness. My arguments will beat down everything that stands between Macbeth and the throne.
