In Shakespearian plays, the first scene will foreshadow almost the whole play. If you were to look at the first scene of Macbeth, the witches speech of "fair is foul, and foul is fair" introduce the theme of pathetic fallacy and chaotic events in the play.
The first act of the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' had two pivotal scenes. One was Scene 3, in which the three witches removed the check in which Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] held his raging ambition. They did so by predicting two glorious career moves. Immediately after their promise, Macbeth saw that their prediction of a powerful, profitable noble title had come true. And that led him to think of their prediction of a royal title as his destiny, his due, and his right. In Scene 4, Macbeth was honored by King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] before an audience of important noblemen. But in the course of that audience, Macbeth saw an obstacle put in the way of his becoming the next King of Scotland. Duncan gave the title of Prince of Cumberland to his elder son, the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. This meant that Malcolm wasn't just an heir apparent. He in fact had become the publicy designated successor to his father. And so the fourth scene in the first act was significant in its forcing Macbeth to consider courses of action or non-action. Was he going to sit back and hope that the crown would fall into his lap? Or was he going to have to do something to make sure that he got what he felt was owing to him for his brave, noble defense of king and country? If action needed to be taken, did he go by the book? Or did he have to justify any means to the desired end?
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.
Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth to kill Duncan in act 1. She is stronger and more manly than Macbeth.

That the witches' prophecy of Banquo as the ancestor of a long line of kings is fulfilled despite his murder is the reason that the kings appear in Act 4 Scene 1 of the play "Macbeth."Specifically, the kings are conjured up by the witches when Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057) comes to visit in Act 4 Scene 1. In Act 1 Scene 3, the witches predict that Macbeth will become king and that his best friend Banquo will be the ancestor to kings though not a king himself. In Act 3 Scene 3, Macbeth arranges to have Banquo killed. Act 4 Scene 1 shows that Macbeth find success in killing Banquo, but not in stopping Banquo's royal line.
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.
Macbeth becomes Thane of Cawdor in Act 1, Scene 3 of the play "Macbeth" after the previous Thane of Cawdor is executed for treason. King Duncan orders the title to be transferred to Macbeth as a reward for his bravery and loyalty in battle.

Some main scenes in "Macbeth" include the witches' prophecy in Act 1, Lady Macbeth's manipulation of Macbeth in Act 1, Macbeth's hallucinations of Banquo's ghost in Act 3, and the final battle scene in Act 5.
In Act 3, Scene 1 of Macbeth, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth exhibit a mixture of apprehension, ambition, and a growing sense of paranoia. Macbeth is increasingly consumed by his guilt and fear of losing power, while Lady Macbeth struggles to maintain control over their destiny despite their mounting troubles.

In Act 1 Scene 7 of Macbeth, when Macbeth is alone and speaking his thoughts out loud, this is called a soliloquy. It is a dramatic device used to reveal a character's innermost thoughts and feelings to the audience.
