Detailed explanation-1: -Why does Macbeth lie to Banquo when Banquo asks him if he thinks about the three witches? Macbeth lied and said he doesn’t think about the witches so that he wouldn’t seem suspicious.
Detailed explanation-2: -What are Banquo’s concerns about the Witches’ prophecy? What is Macbeth’s response? He has had bad dreams about the Witches and part of what they said has come true. Macbeth says he has not thought about them.
Detailed explanation-3: -What does Macbeth ask of Banquo at the beginning of Act 2 ? He asks Banquo to support him in fulfilling the prophecies.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth and Banquo are discussing the witches’ prophecies once again. Banquo has been dreaming about them, but Macbeth lies and says they’ve slipped his mind.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is Macbeth’s lie to Banquo about the witches’ predictions? When he says he doesn’t think about them, he really does because the witches told him he’ll be king by killing the king.
