Why did Macbeth get lured into the prophecy?
Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] got lured into the prophecy because of the witches and because of character flawsthat he and his wife [b. c. 1015] shared. The witches saw the ambitiousness and the manipulability to which Macbeth was susceptible. They therefore presented him with the scenario of three predictions. One prediction already was fulfilled, with Macbeth already being Thane of Glamis. One was fulfilled unbeknownst to Macbeth, who had received the titles and possessions of the disgraced Thane of Cawdor. And one was unfulfilled, with King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] taking up the royal space that the witches represented as rightfully Macbeth's. Under the witches' influence, Macbeth was left to believe that the noble and royal titles were his by due and by right. That belief was strengthened by the ambitiousness to which he and his Lady were prone. It also was strengthened by the way in which Lady Macbeth knew how to dominate and manipulate her husband.

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.

What was the summary of Macbeth?
Macbeth is a play made in 1606. It about Macbeth being king by murdering. The play started with Macbeth and Banquo meeting the witches that tell them that Macbeth shall be king. Lady Macbeth knew about that and because of her impatience, she thought about killing the king. Luckily, King Duncan had already said that he is going to Macbeth's castle. So as Lady Macbeth told Macbeth her plan to kill the king. When the mission was completed, Malcolm(king's son) fled to England. Macbeth wanted Banquo dead because he was him when they saw the witches. Banquo was dead but his son Fleance (Banquo's son) managed to escape. Lady Macbeth expected that she could handle the pressure of the murder but she couldn't, so she committed suicide. Now, Macbeth was alone, so he was frightened. He went to the witches for further explanations of what's happening. One of the witches said 'No man born of a woman shall hurt you.' Another witch continued 'But beware, since the trees are moving' Now, Macbeth was satisfied. Macduff (one of Macbeth's men) felt uncomfortable about what's happening so he fled to England to rejoin with Malcolm to make an army to attack Macbeth. Macbeth took his army and when they passed from infront of the forest, Macduff and Malcolm appeared surprisingly with their army. Macbeth said 'Don't waste your time, since no born from a woman can hurt me.' Then Macduff said 'I wasn't born, Iwas taken out by the caesarean section.' Macbeth knew it was the end of his faith so Macduff killed Macbeth and swooshed his head off holding it and said 'This what will happen to you'
What is lady macbeth's reactions to witches' prophecies?
In the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', Banquo went through a number of reactions to the predictions of the three witches. He heard them predict for his friend and fellow General Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] the receipt of the titles of Thane of Cawdor and of King of Scotland. Clearly, Macbeth realized that something out of the ordinary would have to happen for him to receive either title. But Banquo chided Macbeth for his surprised, shocked and somewhat fearful reaction. Then Banquo heard the witches' predictions for him: the ancestor to a line of kings. At that point, he appeared to become dismissive. He suggested that the two must have been crazy to think they saw the witches and even crazier to believe the predictions. Later, he noted that contact with witches meant trouble for mortals. But it was possible that Banquo was tempted by the possibilities of destiny. In Act 2 Scene 1, he spoke to his son Fleance about having trouble sleeping. Then he noted, 'Merciful powers,/Restrain in me the cursed thoughts that nature/Gives way to in repose!' [Lines 7-9].
How do we know that Banquo suspects the Macbeth's of the murder?

Banquo comments on the truth of the three witches' three predictions for Macbeth: the thaneship of Glamis and Cawdor, and the kingship of Scotland. He concludes, '...and I fear/Thou played'st most foully for 't' [Lines 2-3].
