The relationship between Banquo and Macbeth was one of colleagues.According to Act 1 Scene 2 Line 34, both Banquo and Macbeth were captains. They appeared to work well with each other on the job (Lines 34-41).

How did Macbeth's plot against Banquo and Fleance go wrong?
Macbeth's plot worked against Banquo, who had his throat slit. But it didn't work against Banquo's son Fleance, who escaped. In Act 3 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] met with two murderous thugs. The meeting ironed out the details for the murder of the father-and-son rivals to the throne of Scotland. In Act 3 Scene 3, the two murderers were joined by a third. Between the three of them, they only managed to slit Banquo's throat. Perhaps they had counted on Fleance to stay and defend his life and that of his father's. But Fleance ran.
Whom does Macbeth have murdered to keep one of the witches' prophecies from coming true?
He kills Banquo to thwart the prophecy about Banquo's issue becoming kings, but it doesn't work because Fleance escapes. He kills Macduff's family because of the warning to "Beware Macduff" but it doesn't work because Macduff escapes. Both times he kills the wrong person or people.
Why would Macbeth take issue with Banquo and young son Fleance What does his intention reveal about Macbeth and state of mind at this point in the play?
At this point in the play, Macbeth is troubled and confused. He is afraid of Banquo--"My fears in Banquo stick deep"--because Banquo knows about the witches's predictions and may suspect (and in fact does) that Macbeth murdered Duncan. The murder has made him into an insomniac and a paranoid, and he asks himself if it was worth it. Well, he is pretty sure that it wasn't. So it annoys him that the benefit of the murder, such as it is, will not extend beyond his lifetime. Therefore, since he is annoyed that he has made "the seed of Banquo kings" he hopes to frustrate the prophecy by killing Fleance. But this is ridiculous--he cannot benefit his own children because he doesn't have any. Murdering Fleance will not help matters. But Macbeth is hardly rational at this point (or indeed at any point after he kills Duncan)
What was Banquo's reaction to Duncan's death?
Banquo had two reactions to the news of the death of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. In Act 2 Scene 3 Lines 81-83, he characterized the killings as so cruel as to hope that Macduff was mistaken. In Act 3 Scene 1 Line 3, he considered the royal killing the foul work of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057].

Who is the third murderer in Macbeth?
The true reason is unknown and only inferences can be made. It is possible that MacBeth feared that the other two murderers would not do as he told them and MacBeth sent a third murderer to keep and eye on them. He may have also thought that two murderers alone would be unable to carry out the killing of Banquo and after realizing the fact he decided to send a third. If this was the case then MacBeth was partially right because although the murderers were able to kill Banquo his son, Fleance, escaped. Also, there's a theory that Macbeth himself was the third murderer
I'm doing a drama project on macbeth And I'm doing a modern take of the witches lady Macbeth and Macbeth I've no idea how to dress the 3witches any ideas?
Here are a pile of ideas: In the Australian movie of Macbeth starring Sam Worthington which was made in 2006, Macbeth was a drug lord and the witches were schoolgirls and very creepy. In the 1998 TV movie directed by Michael Bogdanov, Macbeth and Banquo ride motorcycles and the witches are bag ladies living in a dump. The stage presentation at Stratford Ontario starring Colm Feore had Macbeth as a modern mercenary in an African country and the witches as tribal witch doctors. Or the witches could be Voodoo priestesses if you wanted to give it a Caribbean slant. Set it in Haiti, maybe. Or suppose the witches are inmates of a mental asylum. The Patrick Stewart production which was filmed by PBS the witches are nurses and the castle resembles an old-style meat packing plant. One of my personal favourite possibilities is to have the witches as residents of a personal care home, who sit in wheelchairs cackling. Or at the other end of the spectrum, they could be "spin doctors" in stylish suits giving Macbeth and Banquo advice on what's trending now. In order to decide on this you have to decide what part the witches play. Are they real or illusionary? Do they really have the power to predict, or are they talking randomly, and does Macbeth make their prophecies happen? Are they frightening? or just strange? Once you know what you want to do with them dramatically, you can eliminate portrayals that won't work. The personal care home residents are not likely to be particularly frightening. Once you know who the witches are, then it is easy to know how they dress.
