What were Banquo's thoughts in Act 3 Scene 1?
In Act 3 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Banquo was thinking about the witches' predictions for him and Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. He recalled first that the predictions had come true for Macbeth. Macbeth had gained a powerful noble title as Thane of Cawdor and then an even more powerful royal title as King of Scotland. Banquo considered that prediction as having come true with the help of foul means by Macbeth. Banquo recalled second that the witches had addressed him as father to a long line of kings. He considered it likely that the predictions could come true for him and his family line as well. Whatever direction he was heading with the thought was interrupted by Macbeth's arrival and greeting.
Where did Macbeth request Banquo's presence after talking to the three witches?
Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] didn't request Banquo's presence anywhere after talking to the three witches. He spoke to the witches in Act 4 Scene 1. Banquo already was dead at that time. The three murderers had killed him in Act 3 Scene 3. Instead, Macbeth requested Banquo's presence at a banquet after the murder of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and Macbeth's coronation the next day at Scone. This request was well after the first meeting of Banquo and Macbeth with the three witches.
Why does Macbeth readily accept these predictions?
Because the first one became true.

What does safe in a ditch in the bides mean?
In Shakespeare's play Macbeth, he decides that he needs to get rid of Banquo and his son, Fleance, because the witches prophesied that Banquo's descendants would be kings of Scotland. "Safe in a ditch he bides", is the First Murder's way of telling Macbeth that Banquo is dead.
How and why does Macbeth arrange banquos murder?
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.
Who alone escapes macbeth's hired murderers?
Fleance escapes as his father, Benquo is killed.
How does banquo's reaction to the witches differ from Macbeth?
The witches address Macbeth first, and so Banquo says "But what about meeee? Tell meeee a prophecy." And so they do, but it is a prophecy which will not take place in Banquo's lifetime. He will not be around to see any of his descendants crowned. So he doesn't care much about it. Macbeth's prediction, on the other hand, will have to come true in his lifetime or not at all. Macbeth is naturally more caught up in the possibility the prophecy raises.
