Detailed explanation-1: -Shortly after Banquo’s murder, Macbeth says “Better be with the dead, whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace, than on the torture of the mind to lie in restless ecstasy.” This means that Macbeth. wishes he were dead than suffer mental anguish for his success.
Detailed explanation-2: -That I would set my lie on any chance, To mend it, or be rid on’t. Know Banquo was your enemy. True, my lord.
Detailed explanation-3: -35–36). Yet, despite his displays of fearlessness, Macbeth is undeniably beset with guilt and doubt, which he expresses in his reference to the “scorpions” in his mind and in his declaration that in killing Banquo they “have scorched the snake, not killed it” (3.2. 15).
Detailed explanation-4: -He plots the deaths of Banquo and his son, sending for two henchmen to do the deed. Macbeth reveals to Lady Macbeth his desire to rid them of the threat posed by Banquo and Fleance, and alludes to their murder, then dismisses her summarily from his company. Three murderers assault Banquo and Fleance.
Detailed explanation-5: -He states that it would be better to be ‘with the dead, ’ that they have murdered than to be in ‘restless ecstasy’. This is again ironic because Macbeth uses this to mean he has to kill more people to be less troubled, and because it’s true-Macbeth would been better to have died earlier.
