banquo
Macduff takes Macbeth's place at the banquet in the play "Macbeth." Macbeth had planned to sit at the head of the table but gets unsettled by Banquo's ghost, so Macduff takes his place instead.
It's a disaster. Lady Macbeth has to send the guests home without eating because Macbeth acts so crazy.
"Macbeth" and "A Christmas Carol" are two different storys. Macbeth is a play by William shakespeare and Christmas Carol is a book by Charles Dickins. In Macbeth The ghost that apears to Macbet is called Banquo, the Man whom Macbeth Killed so that his Children would not mess up the chances of him being King. In a Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge was visited by 3 spirits. Ghoast of Christmas past, present and future.
Macbeth behaves strangely at the banquet because he sees the ghost of Banquo, whom he had ordered to be murdered. This torments him as a manifestation of his guilt and fear, causing him to lose composure and expose his inner turmoil to his guests.
Lady Macbeth sends everyone home early because she is afraid of what Macbeth might say.

In Act 3 Scene 4, a banquet was prepared in the aftermath of the coronation of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] at Scone. All of the guests were gathered around the banquet table. But Banquo and his son Fleance were missing. Banquo was lying on the ground in the nearby park. His throat had been slit by three murderers whom Macbeth had hired to kill his friend and fellow General. Fleance had escaped the same fate. But Banquo's ghost made it to the banquet. He was invisible to all but Macbeth. Instead of taking his own seat, he presumed to take Macbeth's.
After the banquet where Banquo's ghost appears, he tells Lady Macbeth that he "will send" so he hasn't done it yet. The next time we see him, he is visiting the witches, and then Lennox brings word that Macduff is fled to England. Macbeth says "Time, thou anticipat'st my dread exploits." What this means is that Macduff got away before Macbeth could get to him. It would seem that Macbeth never does send for Macduff.
it does because Macbeth is the one that sent them men to kill banquo so now mACBETH IS SCARED THAT HIS GHOST OR SON WILL GET REVENGE
In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] held a banquet at Forres Palace after his coronation at Scone. But when it came time for everyone present to be seated, Macbeth wouldn't take his seat. The reason was the pre-empting of the seat by the ghost of Banquo. Banquo was heading back to the Palace for the banquet when he was accosted by three murderers. He made it no further than the nearby park, because his throat was slit. But his ghost made it to the banquet, on time and to unsettle Macbeth, who had hired the killers.
In Act 3 Scene 3, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] plotted the death of fellow General and friend Banquo with two murderers. In Scene 3, Banquo's murder took place in the park near the royal palace at Forres. In Scene 4, the murderers showed up at the palace to give Macbeth some good news and some bad news. The good news was the successful, fatal slitting of Banquo's throat. The bad news was the escape of Fleance, Banquo's son. Banquo had been invited to the banquet in the aftermath of Macbeth's royal coronation at Scone. He didn't make good on the invite. But his ghost did. In fact, Banquo's ghost succeeded in unsettling Macbeth by taking the royal seat.
In Shakespeare's play, MacBeth (1606), Banquo was a Scottish thane (roughly speaking, baron) whose murder was arranged by his former friend, MacBeth, an army general obsessed with becoming king, paranoid about the competition, and rapidly becoming insane through guilt over all the people he's killed to get his own way. MacBeth's wife shares and surpasses his ambition for power, and also goes mad.The murdered Banquo's ghost appears to MacBeth during a banquet: the ghost comes into the room and sits in MacBeth's chair, which terrifies him. None of the guests can see Banquo, so they understandably consider MacBeth is becoming mentally unstable when he stops eating and argues at length with an empty seat.Learned people argue about who Banquo was, whose ghost was it really, did the ghost really appear, and so on, quite forgetting that the play MacBeth isn't an attempt by Shakespeare to record history but simply his use of words in order to tell an exciting story, using bits of history and supposed history as a background, and to explore human nature in frequently uncomfortable depth.It's still just a story, and in the story the ghost isBanquo's and it does come into the banquet and doesproceed to sit in MacBeth's chair.The word banquet has nothing to do with Banquo who was considered by many, in Shakespeare's time and still today, to be a Scottish historical figure. Banquet comes from a French word for bench, as in a table for food. Maybe Banquo's name suggested the ghostly banquet scene to Shakespeare; only the writer knows for sure.
