Macbeth active reading notes. Act 2

I'm not exactly an expert on Shakespeare but this is what I got from the act. It may not be accurate at all but i tried..

-banquo and flea nice talk about how late it is.
-Macbeth runs into banquo late at night and banquo explains how he dreamt about three witches talking about "truths"
-Macbeth imagines a dagger hanging above him and he tries to grab it. As he continues to try for it he notices blood on it and it makes him think about Duncan's death.
-Macbeth confesses to lady Macbeth about the death.
- lady Macbeth gets mad when she realizes Macbeth hasn't left the daggers for the sleeping chamberlains to frame them for Duncan's death.
-Lennox figures out the king is dead and lady Macbeth pretends to be horrified.
- The chamberlains are framed for the murder and Macbeth wants them to be put to death for the crime they didn't commit.
- Ross is walking outside the castle and Mcduff comes and tells him that Macbeth is the new king.
