In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," King James I and Banquo are connected through their Scottish heritage. Banquo is believed to be an ancestor of King James I, and this connection may have influenced the portrayal of Banquo as a virtuous character in the play. The character of Banquo also serves as a contrast to Macbeth, highlighting the themes of ambition and betrayal.

Why do the kings appear in Act 4 Scene 1 of 'Macbeth'?

That the witches' prophecy of Banquo as the ancestor of a long line of kings is fulfilled despite his murder is the reason that the kings appear in Act 4 Scene 1 of the play "Macbeth."Specifically, the kings are conjured up by the witches when Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057) comes to visit in Act 4 Scene 1. In Act 1 Scene 3, the witches predict that Macbeth will become king and that his best friend Banquo will be the ancestor to kings though not a king himself. In Act 3 Scene 3, Macbeth arranges to have Banquo killed. Act 4 Scene 1 shows that Macbeth find success in killing Banquo, but not in stopping Banquo's royal line.

What is Macbeths motive for having banquo killed?

Macbeth wants Banquo dead because Banquo witnessed what the three witches said. The three witches stated that Macbeth would one day become king. Now that Macbeth has become king, and done so by taking the life of the previous King Duncan, he fears that Banquo will spread the word that Macbeth was the one to commit the murder.
