Macbeth becomes jealous of Banquo because he feels threatened by the witches' prophecy that Banquo's descendants will be kings, leading Macbeth to fear that Banquo's lineage will jeopardize his own power and position as king. Macbeth's increasing paranoia and ambition drive him to eliminate Banquo and his son in order to secure his hold on the throne.

Why is Macbeth involved in an external conflict with banquo?

He does not resent Banquo, he is jealous of him. From the beginning Banquo has more kinglike qualities. And the witches told Banquo that his son will rule, an heir during this time period is very important, and to some rulers more important than ruling.


What is the outcome of Macbeth conflict with banquo and fleance?

Macbeth doesn't really have a conflict with them. Banquo suspects Macbeth of killing Duncan, but isn't saying anything. Macbeth is annoyed by the witches' prediction that his children will not succeed him (Does he have children? The way things are going between him and his wife, is it likely that he will?) but that Banquo's decendants will. He is jealous. Macbeth's murder of Banquo and attempt on Fleance's life are an attempt to prove to himself that his future is not controlled, and that he is free. He wants to know that he became king because of what he did, not some inexorable fate. When the murderers fail to kill Fleance, he says, "Then comes my fit again!". He has not proven that he is free. The witches' predictions about Banquo can come true. Maybe it is all a matter of fate after all.
