This scene shows Macbeth's increasing desperation because he is so concentrated on winning every battle that he does not care about his wife's death by saying she's going to die anyways. This soliloquy reveals that Macbeth is driven by ambition and therefore does not care about anything not even his wife. His greed has taken over him.

I totally agree with you David, I think you have a talent there miss... but adding to what David said, Macbeth has reached a level of ambition where all the important things, such as his family are being left abandoned due to his desire for more and more materialistic things.
