Macbeth sees a vision of Banquo's ghost sitting in his place at the banquet table. He becomes visibly disturbed and comments that only he can see the ghost, implying that his guilt and paranoia are manifesting as hallucinations.

Who does Lennox believe murdered Banquo?

Macbeth. He implies this in his curiously diplomatic and indirect speech in Act 3 Scene 6. "And the right-valiant Banquo walked too late, whom you may say, if't please you, Fleance kill'd. Men must not walk too late." He's saying "You might think that Fleance killed Banquo, but if you think about it, it wasn't convenient for Fleance at all but it sure was for Macbeth. So you might think Fleance is a murderer, but if he was under Macbeth's protection I have a pretty good idea who would end up dead."


How did Banquo die?

Macbeth killed banquo. Because Macbeth heard the witches say he will also be king. so Macbeth saw him as a threat to the throne and lets just say did something bad to banquo (killed him)


What does Macbeth say must happen to Fleance?

Macbeth told that Fleance should also be assassinated along with his father.


Whom did Macbeth say must suffer the same fate as Banquo?

According to the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] wanted friend and fellow General Banquo dead. Macbeth had killed King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and become King of Scotland. But the witches had predicted that Banquo would be the father of kings. And so Macbeth wanted to get rid of the competition to the Scottish throne. He hired three murderers to kill Banquo. He also told them to make sure that Banquo's son Fleance suffered the same bloodied, grisly fate.


What threat is banquo to Macbeth?

No logical reason, but then fear is not a logical thing. Although Macbeth says, "My fears in Banquo stick deep," he is not totally clear about why he is afraid of him. Most likely, he is afraid that Banquo knows too much about him, knows what the witches said to him and how troubled he was by it, and as a result may suspect Macbeth of murdering Duncan. He is also annoyed by the prophecy of the "fruitless crown" and the prophecy that Banquo will be the father to kings. To prevent this, Macbeth would have to kill not only Fleance but also Banquo, to prevent Banquo from fathering more children. This prophecy does not threaten Macbeth, yet he feels threatened by it. All of this makes the ball of anxiety which he feels because of the murder focus irrationally on Banquo.


Why has Macbeth gone to see the weird sisters again?

It is because he wants more specific information on their predictions that Macbeth goes to see the witches a second time in "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare.Specifically, Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057) kills King Duncan and the two royal chamberlains. He hires murderers to kill Banquo and his son Fleance. But Fleance escapes.Macbeth therefore wants to find out what the witches will say about the permanence of his own rule, and what they will say about Banquo's line taking over the throne now that Banquo is dead. He is past the point of no return and wants specific details of the threats to his power and of the identity of his successors.In short, Macbeth wants to know how many more heinous plans he needs to put into effect (Act 3 Scene 4 Lines 134-138).


What is the conclusion from Macbeth?

Two parts of Macbeth's plan aren't carried out. Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] plans to have Banquo and Banquo's son Fleance killed by three hired murderers. But only Banquo ends up with his throat slit. Fleance manages to escape, and isn't tracked down. Macbeth also plans to kill Macduff and Macduff's entire family and household. But Macduff escapes to England before he can be killed. So only Macduff's family and household are killed by Macbeth's hired murderers. Consequently, Macbeth's plan for elimination of his rivals isn't carried out or completed. Instead, he must beware of Macduff. He also must beware of Banquo's family line taking over the throne of Scotland.

What does banquo have that Macbeth does not?

I would say, Banquo had will. His will out weighed any temptations he had towards his goals. Though, just as ambitious as Macbeth, Banquo held back, happy to sit in the back seat as Macbeth explored the front row. This, truthfully would have been better in the long run (you know what they say about the tortoise and the hare) if it wasn't for Macbeth's greed and paranoia.


What is Macbeth saying about the murderer's deeds?

To ensure the murderers will 'dispatch' (kill) Banquo, Macbeth tells them, 'Banquo was your enemy, So he is mine'. Basically, you do not like Banquo and therefore, neither do I. So I encourage you to kill him. It was very manipulative of Macbeth to say this to the murderers. He also threatens their manhood, compares them to dogs and applies various other tactics so he can feel certain they will kill Banquo and Banquo's son, Fleance.


What do they predict for Banquo in Macbeth?

In Macbeth, the witches predict that Banquo's descendants will be kings, even though Banquo himself will not be. This prophecy ultimately leads to Macbeth's downfall as he becomes obsessed with eliminating any threats to his own position as king.
