In the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', Banquo went through a number of reactions to the predictions of the three witches. He heard them predict for his friend and fellow General Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] the receipt of the titles of Thane of Cawdor and of King of Scotland. Clearly, Macbeth realized that something out of the ordinary would have to happen for him to receive either title. But Banquo chided Macbeth for his surprised, shocked and somewhat fearful reaction. Then Banquo heard the witches' predictions for him: the ancestor to a line of kings. At that point, he appeared to become dismissive. He suggested that the two must have been crazy to think they saw the witches and even crazier to believe the predictions. Later, he noted that contact with witches meant trouble for mortals. But it was possible that Banquo was tempted by the possibilities of destiny. In Act 2 Scene 1, he spoke to his son Fleance about having trouble sleeping. Then he noted, 'Merciful powers,/Restrain in me the cursed thoughts that nature/Gives way to in repose!' [Lines 7-9].
