Where do the murderers accost Banquo and Fleance?

In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] interviewed two murderers about the killing of Banquo and Fleance. He wanted the murder done away from his palace at Forres. The two murderers met up with a third that Macbeth apparently had hired separately. The three waited in the park near the palace at Forres. In that park, they succeeded in killing Banquo. But Banquo's son Fleance managed to escape.

Was the king's death before Banquo's death?

Yes, the King's death took place before Banquo's did. In Act 2 Scene 2 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] stabbed King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and his two royal guards to death. In Act 3 Scene 3, the three murderous thugs carried out Macbeth's orders to slit Banquo's throat.


Who do Macbeth and Lady Macbeth kill in the play?

The Macbeth family victim list is: King Duncan, his two chamberlains, Macbeth's fellow general Banquo, Lady Macduff and her children. Eventually Lady Macbeth kills herself. Macbeth also kills young Siward towards the end and McDonald along with young siward during the battle when the forest "walks" up to the castle. the above is not exactly true - Macbeth kills - the traitorous Macdonwald, (mentioned in 1.2). Duncan, his two sleeping chamberlains, and young Siward. That's it. He hires murderers to kill Banquo and Fleance (they only get Banquo), as well as to kill Macduff and his family (they only get her son, and presumably, Lady Macduff - but in the text she exits before being killed) There is no evidence that Lady Macbeth kills herself, other than a line that she "tis thought, by self and violent hands took off her life"


What major events happened in Macbeth and when did they take place?

In Shakespeare's "Macbeth," several major events unfold: Macbeth's encounter with the three witches occurs early in the play, igniting his ambition. Shortly after, he murders King Duncan to seize the throne, an act that takes place in Act 2. Following this, Macbeth's reign leads to further violence, including the murder of Banquo and the attempted killing of Fleance, which occur in Act 3. Ultimately, Macbeth's tyranny results in his downfall and death at the hands of Macduff, culminating in Act 5.

Why doesn't Banquo tell everyone that he strongly suspects Macbeth of killing Duncan?

Banquo probably doen't know for sure about how Macbeth is planning on killing Duncan so he can become king. Even if Banquo did know, he is a very loyal friend to Macbeth and will keep all of his suspicions to himself. Which is ironic, because Mabeth ends up hiring murderers to kill Banquo, which goes to show you that Macbeth really isn't that loyal.

Who shows more loyalty to Duncan in Act two Macduff or Banquo?

Banquo shows more loyalty to Duncan in Act two. Macduff, while loyal to Duncan, is not present in Act two as he is unaware of Duncan's murder. Banquo, on the other hand, expresses loyalty and concern for Duncan's safety when he expresses his hope that the King has had a pleasant journey to Macbeth's castle.


Why does Macbeth worry that he has killed Duncan more for Banquo and sake than for his own?

In Macbeth's mind there is no justification for killing Duncan. He didn't really want to do it ("We shall proceed no further in this business") and regrets it the moment it is done. In the case of Banquo, however, his reasoning has been blunted by his fear and paranoia ("My fears in Banquo stick deep."). His fear of Banquo is unfounded, but in Macbeth's mind it does provide a justification of sorts.
