As the weird women promis'd, and I fear
Thou play'd most foully for it."
Banquo does not say he knows anything but he "fears" which is to say he suspects that Macbeth murdered Duncan. It's only a suspicion, but an unpleasant one.

Thou play'd most foully for't. Yet it was said
It should not stand in thy posterity,
But that myself should be the root and father
Of many kings."
This is how Act III opens: Banquo recalls all of the prophecies made by the witches in Act I.

How does Macbeth instruct lady Macbeth to act toward banquo?
Macbeth said "Remember to pay special attention to Banquo. Show him favor with your looks and words. We're still not safe, and so we must make our honor look clean by washing it in streams of flattery. We must make our faces masks for our hearts, disguising what our hearts are."
Why does maceth decide to have Banquo and his son Fleance killed?

What does Banquo decide to do to Macbeth?
Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] first planned to kill Macduff. Then he planned to kill Macduff's entire family and household. In Act 4 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth heard the warning of the crowned child against Macduff. Then he heard the warning of the bloody child against the man not born of woman. And then he heard the warning of the crowned child against the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. Finally, he saw the apparition of Banquo's ghost following eight kings who held a mirror that showed an even longer royal line. What with the three warnings and the royal apparition, Macbeth decided to kill the noble Scotsman Macduff. But on his way from the witches' cavern to his royal palace at Forres, he met up with the noble Scotsman Lennox. From their conversation, he learned that Macduff had fled to England. And so Macbeth decided to have Macduff's entire family and household killed instead.
I'm doing a drama project on macbeth And I'm doing a modern take of the witches lady Macbeth and Macbeth I've no idea how to dress the 3witches any ideas?
Here are a pile of ideas: In the Australian movie of Macbeth starring Sam Worthington which was made in 2006, Macbeth was a drug lord and the witches were schoolgirls and very creepy. In the 1998 TV movie directed by Michael Bogdanov, Macbeth and Banquo ride motorcycles and the witches are bag ladies living in a dump. The stage presentation at Stratford Ontario starring Colm Feore had Macbeth as a modern mercenary in an African country and the witches as tribal witch doctors. Or the witches could be Voodoo priestesses if you wanted to give it a Caribbean slant. Set it in Haiti, maybe. Or suppose the witches are inmates of a mental asylum. The Patrick Stewart production which was filmed by PBS the witches are nurses and the castle resembles an old-style meat packing plant. One of my personal favourite possibilities is to have the witches as residents of a personal care home, who sit in wheelchairs cackling. Or at the other end of the spectrum, they could be "spin doctors" in stylish suits giving Macbeth and Banquo advice on what's trending now. In order to decide on this you have to decide what part the witches play. Are they real or illusionary? Do they really have the power to predict, or are they talking randomly, and does Macbeth make their prophecies happen? Are they frightening? or just strange? Once you know what you want to do with them dramatically, you can eliminate portrayals that won't work. The personal care home residents are not likely to be particularly frightening. Once you know who the witches are, then it is easy to know how they dress.
Why did the information from the witches' apparitions spur Macbeth to commit more murders?
The Witches had mainly 2 encounters with Macbeth. The 3 witches first encounter with Macbeth was when Macbeth and Banquo were returning from a victorious battle. The 3 witches gave Macbeth three prophecies "All hail Macbeth;Thane of Glamis" "All hail Macbeth;Thane of Cawdor" "All hail Macbeth;To be King hereafter" The 3 witches planted the seed of evil in Macbeth with these 3 prophecies, and the seed gradually germinated through the play. Macbeth was the Thane of Glamis by 'Sinel's Death' and when he was given the news that he was the Thane of Cawdor as the previous committed treason and was stripped from his tittle 'What he hath lost noble Macbeth has won' he was deeply influenced by the witches prophecies. He was always thinking of those words the witches said "Have we eaten the insane roots?" It made Macbeth think that he will eventually be king, it caused the thought of evil to be implanted in Macbeth; to kill Duncan in order to gain kingship 'My thought whose murder yet is but fantastical. And in Act 1 scene 4, Macbeth now has totally fallen into the words of the witches "Stars hide your fire let not light see my black and deep desires' he was made believe of the witches' words and has decided to do the deed (killing duncan). However right before the Murder, Macbeth tried to take things into his own hands and had his own compelling thoughts of why not to kill Duncan. Macbeth was his Kinsmen and subject, he received golden opinions and was only honored of late. Other than those reasons "my intent, except for vaulting ambition' it was his ambitious heart together with the push of Lady Macbeth 'screw you courage to the sticking place and we shall not fail' and the words of the witches that influenced him to do the deed, the witches implanted the thoughts of murder and made Macbeth decide to commit murder. After Macbeth committed murder and was king he was still not happy, his 'mind full of scorpions' This was because Banquo's children prophecised to be King and his presence threatened his Kingship. All those factors pushed Macbeth to decide to kill Banquo and his child. From here we can again see that Macbeth trusted the words of the 3 witches he was deeply influenced and the words of the Withches manipulated Macbeth in his decisions. And that when Fleance escaped the murder Macbeth was tormented, this led Macbeth to have a 2nd encounter with the 3 witches. During the second encounter with the 3 witches, they showed Macbeth 3 apparitions. The first was an armored head which could possibly be the head of Macduff depicting the warning, or it could be the sign to the end of the story when Macbeth was beheaded and his head flashed around the country of Scotland. The armored head said 'Macbeth Macbeth!Macbeth! Beware of the thane of Macduff! Beware the thane of fife!" Macbeth responded through thanking it. The second apparition was a bloody child telling Macbeth to "be bloody, bold, resolute. Laugh to the scorn of man as no man born of woman shall harm Macbeth. Macbeth response was "what i need fear thee? make assurance double sure thou shalt not live" And the third apparition was a child with a crown on his head and a tree in his hand saying 'Macbeth shall never be vanquished till Birnam wood to high dunsanine hill. And Macbeth's reactionwas "impossible for a forest to unfix itself." From here Macbeth has totally place his trust into the Witches, he believed the withces and had a singled minded thinking because of the trust and influenced he had towards the witches, he thought that he was invincible and cannot be harmed however in the later part of the story he discovered he was wrong. The witches also showed him a 4th apparition it was a line of 8 phantom king and the ghost of Macbeth at the end. He was angry and cursed the 3 witches. Again the words of the witches cause him to order the murder of Macduff's family. Although it was just an apparition Macbeth believed in it as he was influence through the first encounter. He was still being manipulated in his actions. And during the battle between Macbeth and Macduff, Macbeth again said ' i bear a charm life, no man born of woman shall harm me' this again showed his absolute trust towards the witches. However he later discovered he was wrong believing in the witches. Macduff was 'untimely ripped from his mother's womb', and thus resulting in Macbeth's defeat. In conclusion, the Witches were the cause of everything. They implanted seeds of evil in Macbeth and made him to believe in them. Macbeth's decisions then was made through the influence of the witches and most of it had a negatice impact.
