How is the surpernatural important to Macbeth?
In the play, the supernatural, which takes the form of the witches, is both a motive force (the prophecy sets things in motion) and also a commentary. Macbeth, the character, starts by being ambivalent to the witches and their prophecy, but he relies on their prophecies more and more as the play goes on, because he has nothing else to hold on to.

Why did Macbeth get lured into the prophecy?
Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] got lured into the prophecy because of the witches and because of character flawsthat he and his wife [b. c. 1015] shared. The witches saw the ambitiousness and the manipulability to which Macbeth was susceptible. They therefore presented him with the scenario of three predictions. One prediction already was fulfilled, with Macbeth already being Thane of Glamis. One was fulfilled unbeknownst to Macbeth, who had received the titles and possessions of the disgraced Thane of Cawdor. And one was unfulfilled, with King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] taking up the royal space that the witches represented as rightfully Macbeth's. Under the witches' influence, Macbeth was left to believe that the noble and royal titles were his by due and by right. That belief was strengthened by the ambitiousness to which he and his Lady were prone. It also was strengthened by the way in which Lady Macbeth knew how to dominate and manipulate her husband.

Why does Macbeth fear banguo and feel threatened by his ''being''?
There isn't necessarily a logical reason for the fear, but then fear is not a logical thing. Although Macbeth says, "My fears in Banquo stick deep," he is not totally clear about why he is afraid of him. Most likely, he is afraid that Banquo knows too much about him, knows what the witches said to him and how troubled he was by it, and as a result may suspect Macbeth of murdering Duncan. He is also annoyed by the prophecy of the "fruitless crown" and the prophecy that Banquo will be the father to kings. To prevent this, Macbeth would have to kill not only Fleance but also Banquo, to prevent Banquo from fathering more children. This prophecy does not threaten Macbeth, yet he feels threatened by it.
