What happens in act 1 in Macbeth?
We hear about Macbeth, the great Scottish general, and his buddy Banquo. Macbeth and Banquo are accosted by three witches who make prophecies to them. Macbeth writes to his wife about the prophecies. Macbeth gets the new title of Thane of Cawdor, but the king's son Malcolm gets to be Prince of Cumberland. The king then announces that the party is at Macbeth's place in Inverness. Once in Inverness, Lady Macbeth persuades her husband to murder the king so Macbeth can get the crown for himself.
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.
How many times did Macbeth see the witches?
In the Shakespearean play, Banquo's ghost appeared three times to Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. He appeared twice in Act 3 Scene 4. He showed up just before Macbeth's invited guests for the post-coronation banquet were going to sit down. He took Macbeth's reserved seat.Then he left, so Macbeth could be seated. But he came back when Macbeth suggested a toast to the absent Banquo. In Act 4 Scene 1, Banquo's ghost appeared in response to the fortunetelling efforts of the three witches. He was in the fourth apparition that they called forth for Macbeth. In the last apparition, he followed a long line of kings of whom the last carried a mirror showing an even longer royal line. The final apparition was meant to validate the witches' earlier prediction of Banquo's family line taking over the throne of Scotland.
