The ghost upset Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] by sitting in the royal seat at the banquet. In Act 3 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth planned the murder of his friend and former fellow General Banquo. In Scene 3, the murder was carried out by three murderous thugs. In Scene 4, Macbeth hosted a post-coronation celebration banquet to which he hypocritically had invited Banquo. Just before the banquet, Macbeth learned that the thugs had botched the killing. Banquo's throat indeed had been slit. But Banquo's son Fleance had escaped. Macbeth had wanted father and son dead, to prevent Banquo's family from taking over the Scottish crown and throne. At the banquet, Macbeth tried to keep up his hypocritical act of being Banquo's friend. He accused Banquo of deciding not to attend out of discourtesy instead of misadventure. At that point, Banquo's ghost showed up and sat in Macbeth's seat. No one else could see the ghost. It was Banquo's way of saying that Macbeth's murderous plan wasn't going to keep Banquo's line off the Scottish throne. Macbeth subsequently toasted Banquo again. This time, and more kindly, he claimed to be missing his friend's presence. Banquo's ghost again showed up, for Macbeth's eyes only.
