What conflict arises in Macbeth after the first prediction proves true what does this inner conflict reveal about his character?
The conflict that rages in Macbeth after he hears the prophecy from the witches is whether he needs to do something to make the prophecy come true or if fate will simply take of it. He also has a lust for power and needs to take out Duncan but he is torn as how to do it.
Which predictions for Macbeth and banquo come true first?
None of the predictions made to Banquo come true in the course of the play. The first prediction which comes true is that Macbeth will become king (He is already Thane of Cawdor when they meet the witches, so that is not a prediction.)
How many of the witches first three predictions come true explain?
It depends, I suppose, what you count as a prediction. Calling Macbeth Thane of Glamis was no prediction; he had inherited the title from his father. Calling him Thane of Cawdor wasn't a prediction either; the king had already given Macbeth the title, even though Macbeth didn't know it, not having been at the battle in Fife where the former Thane showed his treachery. Calling him king hereafter was a prediction, and true as the play shows. Saying that Banquo's descendants will become kings is a prediction and also true, since he was supposed to be the ancestor of King James. Telling Macbeth to beware Macduff was a warning not a prediction. The prediction that no man of woman born could harm him was true enough provided you use the somewhat cockeyed definition of "born" which excludes Caesarian births.
What conflict arises in Macbeth after the first prediction proves true?
The conflict that arises after the first set of prophecies come true is both internal and external for Macbeth. Internally, the prophecy unleashes a struggle within himself, he lusts for power, and his ambition to possess that power is set in motion. He begins to ponder how he can obtain the power promised in the prophecy, but he wants it now. So he considers committing murder, killing King Duncan. He goes through many stressful internal discussions with his conscience to determine whether he has the true nature to commit murder. "When Duncan announces that his son Malcolm will succeed him as king, Macbeth outwardly supports Duncan's decision. However, he is disappointed and knows he must eliminate Duncan and his son Malcolm to become king. Macbeth now struggles with this conflict and ponders what fate may bring." His external conflicts arise first with King Duncan, who is in his way if he wants to sit on the throne, also Malcolm and Donalbain, the sons of the king are also in his way. Additionally, Macbeth has a conflict with his wife, once she learns of the witches prophecies. She becomes drenched in the desire to be queen. She ridicules, humiliates and uses her feminine wiles to convince her husband to commit murder when the king arrives for his visit at their home.
Why did Macbeth stand amazed at the prediction of the three figures?
Macbeth doesn't believe them at first, but... 1) Thane of Glamis- He was already this so technically it's not a prediction. 2) Thane of Cawdor- He was named this by the king really soon after they gave his the predictions (same day). 3) Because the first 2 were true, he believed he would be king and he killed Duncan to "speed up fate."

How does banquo's reaction to the witches differ from Macbeth?
The witches address Macbeth first, and so Banquo says "But what about meeee? Tell meeee a prophecy." And so they do, but it is a prophecy which will not take place in Banquo's lifetime. He will not be around to see any of his descendants crowned. So he doesn't care much about it. Macbeth's prediction, on the other hand, will have to come true in his lifetime or not at all. Macbeth is naturally more caught up in the possibility the prophecy raises.
What is the first apparition and what does it tell Macbeth?
