In Act 3 of Macbeth, Macbeth becomes suspicious that Banquo poses a threat to his throne. He worries that Banquo's descendants will inherit the crown, as the witches prophesied. This suspicion leads Macbeth to plot Banquo's murder.
It is strange because the prophecies to Banquo focus on his descendants becoming kings, despite Macbeth's actions to secure his own kingship. This creates a sense of tension and potential conflict between their futures, as Banquo's lineage could threaten Macbeth's reign. The prophecies also suggest a different outcome for Banquo compared to Macbeth, emphasizing fate's role in their respective destinies.
Banquo is referring to the three witches who have just delivered prophecies to Macbeth and himself in Act 1, Scene 3 of William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth." He calls them "weird women" because their appearance and actions are strange and mysterious.
Macbeth tries to bribe Banquo by hiring two murderers to kill him. He does this because Banquo knows about the witches' prophecies and could pose a threat to Macbeth's throne since they foretold that Banquo's descendants would be kings. By eliminating Banquo, Macbeth hopes to secure his own power and prevent any challenges to his reign.
In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," the three witches are the ones who make the prophecies about Macbeth becoming king. In addition to Lady Macbeth, Macbeth himself learns about the prophecies from the witches and later seeks them out for more information. Ultimately, Macbeth's actions are driven by his desire to fulfill the prophecies and maintain his position as king.
Macbeth lies to Banquo by telling him that he doesn't spend time thinking about the witches' prophecies, while in reality, Macbeth is preoccupied with the idea of securing his own power and eliminating any potential threats to his throne, including Banquo and his descendants.
