Detailed explanation-1: -Which of you have done this? What, my good lord? Thy gory locks at me. You, Banquo’s ghost, cannot accuse me of killing you.
Detailed explanation-2: -It ironically foreshadows the future: Banquo’s ghost occupies Macbeth’s seat, as his descendants will occupy his throne – and ‘push us from our stools’ (line 82). It marks the beginning of the decline of Macbeth’s rule and power: he cannot keep calm on this important occasion of state, and almost reveals his guilt.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ghost of Banquo reappears. Macbeth shouts at the ghost ("Avaunt! and quit my sight! Let the earth hide thee!") Lady Macbeth hurriedly dismisses their guests.
Detailed explanation-4: -Summary: Macbeth finds out that Banquo has been murdered, but that his son has escaped. As Macbeth heads back to eat at his banquet table, he finds his seat has been taken by none other than the ghost of Banquo. He freaks out at the sight, and Lady Macbeth dismisses it as a momentary fit.
