Detailed explanation-1: -Act 2, Scene 1 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. He then tells Banquo to stick with him, and he’ll be rewarded in the future. Banquo agrees, so long as he gets to keep his conscience clear.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why does Banquo not trust the Witches? Banquo is skeptical of the Witches’ intentions and remains unconvinced of the Witches’ prophecy. Banquo warns Macbeth that “instruments of darkness” often tell half-truths “to win us to our harm” (1.3.125–126).
Detailed explanation-4: -1. What is Macbeth’s lie to Banquo about the witches’ predictions? He says he doesn’t even think about them.
