Detailed explanation-1: -This line occurs in Act 3, Scene 1, of Macbeth. Macbeth’s friend, Banquo, remarks on how the witches’ prophecy came true. He has everything they promised. He is king and thane of Cawdor and Glamis.
Detailed explanation-2: -BANQUO enters. Thou hast it now: king, Cawdor, Glamis, all, As the weird women promised, and I fear Thou played’st most foully for ‘t.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth knows he’s a good guy, but he also knows that Banquo heard the prophecy. He thinks Banquo might figure things out. Plus there’s the fact that the witches foretold that Banquo’s descendants would one day be kings-not Macbeth’s. All this adds up to one thing: Macbeth wants Banquo and his son dead.
Detailed explanation-4: -May they not be my oracles as well, And set me up in hope? But hush, no more. In Act 3, scene 1, Banquo’s soliloquy reveals that he is suspicious of Macbeth, who, in becoming king, has achieved all that the Witches promised for him.
