Detailed explanation-1: -Now that the first part of the witches’ prophecy has come true, Macbeth feels that he must kill his friend Banquo and the young Fleance in order to prevent the second part from becoming realized. But, as Fleance’s survival suggests, there can be no escape from the witches’ prophecies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The men Macbeth summoned appear on the scene, and it is revealed that they are actually murderers whom Macbeth has hired to kill Banquo. Macbeth reminds the murderers of the plan, insisting they make sure to kill Fleance as well.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is Macbeth’s plan for murdering Banquo and Fleance? Does it work? He hires two murdered to ambush them a distance from the castle before the feast, he makes the murderers hate Banquo and challenges their manhood to get them to do it.
Detailed explanation-4: -The news of Fleance’s escape angers Macbeth-if only Fleance had died, he muses, his throne would have been secure. Instead, “the worm that’s fled / Hath nature that in time will venom breed” (3.4. 28–29).
