Why would Macbeth take issue with Banquo and young son Fleance What does his intention reveal about Macbeth and state of mind at this point in the play?
At this point in the play, Macbeth is troubled and confused. He is afraid of Banquo--"My fears in Banquo stick deep"--because Banquo knows about the witches's predictions and may suspect (and in fact does) that Macbeth murdered Duncan. The murder has made him into an insomniac and a paranoid, and he asks himself if it was worth it. Well, he is pretty sure that it wasn't. So it annoys him that the benefit of the murder, such as it is, will not extend beyond his lifetime. Therefore, since he is annoyed that he has made "the seed of Banquo kings" he hopes to frustrate the prophecy by killing Fleance. But this is ridiculous--he cannot benefit his own children because he doesn't have any. Murdering Fleance will not help matters. But Macbeth is hardly rational at this point (or indeed at any point after he kills Duncan)

Is there really a ghost in Macbeth?
The ghost might make an accusation and a tauntwith his first appearance, and a warning with his second. In Act 3 Scene 3, Banquo's throat was slit. His head was disfigured with 20 bloodied gashes from the knives of three hired thugs. He had been lured along the particular route to his murder by a dinner invitation that evening from the newly crowned Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. In Scene 4, Macbeth hosted a post-coronation celebratory banquet. He had planned the end to his former friend and fellow General Banquo's life. Now did he plan the end to Banquo's reputation. He described Banquo as being willfully disrespectful, not fatally detained, in his non-attendance. Banquo's ghost immediately showed up and took Macbeth's royal seat. If he had spoken, the ghost might have said, 'Look what you did to me, you hypocrite! But you're not getting away with it. The throne belongs to me and my family. Fleance got away!' Macbeth fell to pieces until the ghost disappeared. Once he recovered his composure, Macbeth followed the hypocritical tack of toasting Banquo. He claimed to miss his friend and wish for his presence. The ghost promptly reappeared. This time, he might have said, 'Be careful what you wish for! I'm here to stay.'
