Macbeth observes the ghost of Banquo at a dinner. He rages at the ghost while others just see him addressing an empty chair. This worries him and he goes to visit the witches who tell him to beware Macduff. Since Macduff is in exile, he assumed he was safe and put everyone in Macduff's castle, including his wife and children to death.
