In Act 4 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] sought out the three witches of Act 1 Scene 3. He wanted specific information on the challenges to the consolidation of his reign in Scotland. They showed him three apparitions. But he wanted to know one thing in particular that not one of the apparitions told him. Macbeth wanted to know if the witches' earlier prediction of a long line of royal descent from Banquo would come true. That answer came in the way of eight kings followed by Banquo's ghost and carrying a mirror. The mirror showed even more kings of the same line. So, yes, Banquo's line indeed would take over the throne of Scotland.

How might the 'Mirror for Magistrates' link to Macbeth?

The "Mirror for Magistrates" and "Macbeth" both explore the theme of power, ambition, and the downfall of rulers. The "Mirror for Magistrates" influenced the portrayal of historical events and figures in "Macbeth," particularly in its depiction of moral lessons and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Shakespeare may have drawn inspiration from the "Mirror for Magistrates" in shaping the character of Macbeth and the overall narrative structure of the play.
