In Act 3 Scene 3, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] plotted the death of fellow General and friend Banquo with two murderers. In Scene 3, Banquo's murder took place in the park near the royal palace at Forres. In Scene 4, the murderers showed up at the palace to give Macbeth some good news and some bad news. The good news was the successful, fatal slitting of Banquo's throat. The bad news was the escape of Fleance, Banquo's son. Banquo had been invited to the banquet in the aftermath of Macbeth's royal coronation at Scone. He didn't make good on the invite. But his ghost did. In fact, Banquo's ghost succeeded in unsettling Macbeth by taking the royal seat.
