Detailed explanation-1: -Fleance Banquo’s son, who, by escaping Macbeth’s plot on his life, will go on to be father to a line of kings. Donalbain and Malcolm Duncan’s two sons.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -ACT 3 What’s done is done. Based on the witches’ prophecy, Banquo suspects Macbeth of killing King Duncan. Macbeth becomes aware of these suspicions and hires assassins to kill Banquo and his son, Fleance. Banquo is murdered that night, but Fleance escapes into the darkness.
Detailed explanation-4: -When Macbeth and Banquo, Macbeth’s ally and friend, first encounter the three witches, they tell Macbeth that he will one day be king. 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.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fleance. Banquo’s son, who survives Macbeth’s attempt to murder him. At the end of the play, Fleance’s whereabouts are unknown. Presumably, he may come to rule Scotland, fulfilling the witches’ prophecy that Banquo’s sons will sit on the Scottish throne.
