Killing Duncan has turned Macbeth into a paranoid. His "fears in Banquo stick deep"; he is afraid that he suspects him, and resents the prediction the witches made about him, that his children would be king. He hires two murderers to take Banquo and his son Fleance out, and sends a third to check up on the first two. The murderers jump Fleance and Banquo but only get Banquo.
