Banquo's talk with Fleance was significant for the explicit concern over the violence of nature, and the implied concern over the witches' predictions. In Act 2 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Banquo met with his son in the courtyard of Macbeth's castle at Inverness. He let Fleance know of his trouble sleeping. He was plagued with a concern over the uproar in nature, and the darkness of the night and of his own thoughts. It was possible that Banquo was tempted by the power that would be his as father to a long royal line. He also might have been considering what he could do to make the Scottish crown and throne his as well as those of his descendants. In Lines 8-9, he prayed for deliverance from the 'cursed thoughts that nature/Gives way to in repose!'
