Detailed explanation-1: -In this scene, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth host a banquet for the Scottish thanes. A murderer tells Macbeth that he has been successful in killing Banquo, but that Fleance escaped. During the banquet, Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo sitting at his place at the table. He is horrified.
Detailed explanation-2: -We can see the appearance of the ghost as a sign of Macbeth’s conscience working. Although on the surface Macbeth is happy to kill, deep down he is troubled by it. The appearance of the ghost is evidence of this conscience.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth’s vision of the ghost reveals his guilt over ordering the murder of Banquo and his young son. His sense of guilt is so powerful that he loses his sense of reality and cannot be sure whether he is having a vision or not. He speaks these lines in order to try and reassure himself that Banquo is truly dead.
Detailed explanation-4: -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. After everyone but Macbeth and Lady Macbeth leave, he expresses his apprehension to her: “It will have blood; they say, blood will have blood."
