What is the relationship between Banquo and King Duncan?
The relationship between Banquo and Macbeth was one of colleagues.According to Act 1 Scene 2 Line 34, both Banquo and Macbeth were captains. They appeared to work well with each other on the job (Lines 34-41). They also appeared to carry that good working relationship over into an equally good friendship ... until things changed with Macbeth's plotting and carrying out the murders of first his sovereign and then his best friend!
Who accompanies Banquo at the opening of Act 2?
His son Fleance. "How goes the night boy?" is the first line of the scene.
Did Lady Macbeth want Macbeth to kill Banquo?
Lady Macbeth wasn't in on her husband's plans to kill Banquo. When she asked what his plans 'of dreadful note' [Act 3 Scene 2 Line 44] were, he didn't want her to know the specifics. But most likely yes, she would have wanted Macbeth to kill Banquo. Earlier in their conversation, she commented that Banquo and his son Fleance were mortal [and therefore killable?].
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.
