Detailed explanation-1: -“Were such things here as we do speak about? Or have we eaten on the insane root that takes the reason prisoner?” Banquo’s own reaction to the Weird Sisters is to question his sanity and wonder whether the witches existed at all.
Detailed explanation-2: -Banquo wonders: Were such things here, as we do speak about, Or have we eaten on the insane root, That takes the reason prisoner?
Detailed explanation-3: -The insane root to which Banquo refers is a herb causing madness. It probably refers specifically to hemlock or henbane, both deadly. Banquo asks Macbeth if they have mistakenly eaten some poison that “takes reason prisoner” (makes them lose their minds) because the Witches vanish into thin air.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! Thou may’st revenge – O slave! These lines are Banquo’s dying words, as he is slaughtered by the murderers Macbeth has hired in Act 3, scene 3. In his dying breaths, Banquo urges his son, Fleance, to flee to safety, and charges him to someday revenge his father’s death.
