Detailed explanation-1: -Banquo laughs at the prophecies but Macbeth is excited, especially as soon after their meeting with the witches Macbeth is made Thane of Cawdor by King Duncan, in return for his bravery in the battle. He writes to his wife, Lady Macbeth, who is as excited as he is.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth is greatly reassured, but his confidence in the future is shaken when the witches show him a line of kings all in the image of Banquo. After the witches disappear, Macbeth discovers that Macduff has fled to England and decides to kill Macduff’s family immediately.
Detailed explanation-3: -Banquo notices that Macbeth was impressed by the Witches’ prophecies and suspects that he will prove to be disloyal to the king. However, Banquo is also impressed by the Witches when it comes to the prophecy about his sons becoming kings, perhaps suggesting that he too is susceptible to the lure of power.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
