Fleance escapes as his father, Benquo is killed.
Macbeth's hired murders kill Banquo, but Fleance was able to escape. The first performance of Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, took place in April of 1611.
Fleance, Banquo's son.
The three assassins that were hired by Macbeth kill Banquo as he is walking with his son to the palace for a dinner that Macbeth invited him to.
In Shakespeare's play, we don't know anything about him except that he escaped Macbeth's hired murderers. But in Holinshed's Chronicles, the book Shakespeare got the story from, we learn that he fled to Wales where he had a family, and that his descendants eventually became the family of the Stuarts, who became the royal family when one of them married Marjorie Bruce.
The conversation he had with the murderers show that he is still trying to cloak his crime under a veneer of political necessity, by suggesting that the murderers have good reason to hate Banquo and wish him dead. In reality they are hired murderers, who would kill anyone if they were paid to do it. They are quite happy to attempt to kill Fleance, who is obviously not their enemy. So, what is Macbeth on about? He is trying to justify the murder to himself, because he still has enough conscience to think that it is wrong to kill his friend just because his decendants might become kings someday.
Macbeth's plan was to murder fleance and banquo but it was not accomplished fully because fleance was able 2 escape
Two parts of Macbeth's plan aren't carried out. Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] plans to have Banquo and Banquo's son Fleance killed by three hired murderers. But only Banquo ends up with his throat slit. Fleance manages to escape, and isn't tracked down. Macbeth also plans to kill Macduff and Macduff's entire family and household. But Macduff escapes to England before he can be killed. So only Macduff's family and household are killed by Macbeth's hired murderers. Consequently, Macbeth's plan for elimination of his rivals isn't carried out or completed. Instead, he must beware of Macduff. He also must beware of Banquo's family line taking over the throne of Scotland.
