Detailed explanation-1: -Fleance is the son of Banquo. Macbeth sees him as a threat because of the weird sisters’ prophecy that Banquo’s descendants will rule Scotland one day. While Fleance is alive, Macbeth can never truly be sure of his security as king.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the same time, they tell Banquo that his descendants will also be king one day. Because of this, Macbeth feels threatened by Banquo and decides to kill him and his son Fleance. However, Fleance escapes the murder. By the end of the play, we do not yet know where Fleance is, but many assume that he is in Scotland.
Detailed explanation-3: -Later, worried that Banquo’s descendants and not his own will rule Scotland, Macbeth sends two men, and then a Third Murderer, to kill Banquo and his son Fleance. During the melee, Banquo holds off the assailants so that Fleance can escape, but is himself killed.
