Macbeth's attitude is that of a vexed, worried man, over-confident yet anxious. Eventhough he had full faith in the Witches prophecies, he sub consciously knew that he had understood their prophecies on their face-values and that they had probably meant a LOT more than was obvious from the words that they used. This built and gave way to innate tension and worry. And like most people, he intended to cover up his worry and anxiousness by a cloak of frustration and anger. He was in a rage with his servants and soldiers. He oozes over confidence when he is told that a large army is approaching by dismissing it for unreal. He also asks the doctor to being his land to health by examining its urine and then, curing it off its sickly disease (that of war and impending doom). When the doctor tells him of his wife's health conditions which could not be cured by any kind of mdeicine, he dismisses off that news as well.
