Yes, Banquo suspects Macbeth in Act 3 Scene 1. He meets with Macbeth in a room of the royal palace at Forres. It's after Macbeth's coronation at Scone. Banquo comments on the truth of the three witches' three predictions for Macbeth: the thaneship of Glamis and Cawdor, and the kingship of Scotland. He concludes, '...and I fear/Thou played'st most foully for 't' [Lines 2-3].

In Macbeth why does he murder banquo and duncan?

i think Macbeth wanted to be king. he couldn't though because king Duncan was. So Macbeth killed him. Then Banqou was suppose to be next to be kind, i believe. So he hired the revengers or avengers to murder him. Next was fleance. i don't know what happened to him.


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.


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.

Macbeth wants to know wether or not fleance is going riding with his father in the afternoon before the banquet because if they are riding together it will be easier for the murderers to kill both of them and "kill two birds with one stone."

What is Macbeths motive for having banquo killed?

Macbeth wants Banquo dead because Banquo witnessed what the three witches said. The three witches stated that Macbeth would one day become king. Now that Macbeth has become king, and done so by taking the life of the previous King Duncan, he fears that Banquo will spread the word that Macbeth was the one to commit the murder.

Why lady Macbeth doesn't know the plan about killing banquo?

Lady Macbeth is not involved in the plan to kill Banquo because the decision to murder Banquo is made by Macbeth alone. Macbeth wants to keep Lady Macbeth out of this particular act of violence to protect her from its consequences and to shield her from the guilt associated with the murder of their former friend. Additionally, Macbeth wants to keep the full extent of his plans hidden from Lady Macbeth to prevent her from being implicated or becoming a target of suspicion.
