It is because he wants more specific information on their predictions that Macbeth goes to see the witches a second time in "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare.Specifically, Macbeth (d.

But Fleance escapes.Macbeth therefore wants to find out what the witches will say about the permanence of his own rule, and what they will say about Banquo's line taking over the throne now that Banquo is dead. He is past the point of no return and wants specific details of the threats to his power and of the identity of his successors.In short, Macbeth wants to know how many more heinous plans he needs to put into effect (Act 3 Scene 4 Lines 134-138).
How do you explain the phrase 'Not so happy yet much happier' in 'Macbeth'?
The three witches described Banquo as 'Not so happy, yet much happier' than Macbeth. They meant that Banquo wasn't going to be as fortunate as Macbeth. Banquo wasn't going to advance any further than being Captain to King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. But Banquo ultimately was going to be more contented. Banquo was going to leave behind a family, and by that family lineBanquo would become the ancestor to a long line of kings. In contrast, Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] would have no family, and his reign would end with him.
