Macbeth is concerned about Fleance because he is Banquo's son and the witches' prophecy stated that Banquo's descendants would inherit the throne. Macbeth sees Fleance as a threat to his own claim to the throne and wants to ensure that no one else from Banquo's lineage will challenge his rule in the future.

∙ 13y agoNo, Macbeth (well, actually the murderers sent by Macbeth) fails to kill Fleance. He runs away when the murderers attack. He is never heard again after that event. There are no more Fleance after that in the play, which creates a rhetorical question.
