In Act 3 Scene 1, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] revealed an anxious, troubled state of mind. The scene began with a soliloquy by friend and former fellow General Banquo, who suspected Macbeth of having killed King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] in order to become sovereign of Scotland. Macbeth then appeared and was most insistent about Banquo's presence at the evening's post-coronation banquet. No sooner did Banquo leave than readers and viewers found out exactly why Macbeth was so solicitous of Banquo's movements and evening plans. Two hired murderers showed up to go over last-minute details for a successful throat-slitting of Banquo and of Banquo's son Fleance.
