Duncan goes on to praise Macbeth and Banquo and how he feels honored to have them serve. And Macbeth responds with how honored he feels to serve for Duncan

Lady Macbeth wants to convince Macbeth to assassinate Duncan so Macbeth can take the throne

Macbeth is hesitant to do so since he has just been honored by Duncan

Lady Macbeth suggests killing Duncan in his sleep and getting his servants drunk so they have no memory
