Detailed explanation-1: -In a soliloquy, Macbeth expressed his fear of the prophecy for Banquo. If the witches’ prophecy for Banquo would become true, then he would be a king without any heir, and his effort to murder Duncan would be meaningless.
Detailed explanation-2: -But so too have his darkest fears. As the play progresses, Macbeth attempts to quell those fears by means of further bloodshed. Until and unless he can murder all who appear to threaten his ill-gotten crown, he feels himself “cabin’d, cribb’d, confined, bound in / To saucy doubts and fears” (3.4. 24-25).
Detailed explanation-3: -Although Banquo will never wear the crown, his descendants will. This means that Macbeth’s children will not inherit the throne. Macbeth fears that Banquo will turn on him in order to establish his own children in the line of inheritance. For this reason, he murders Banquo and attempts to kill his family.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Macbeth fear was the main motivating factor and in the end fear influenced the outcome of the play. All of Macbeth’s actions were done out of fear, not only fear of being caught but also fear of the witches’ prophecies. He was afraid that they might be true and tried at all costs to prevent them from happening.
Detailed explanation-5: –The only person he fears now is Banquo, because he knows Banquo will inherit the throne, so he fears Banquo will kill him in order to become King.-Usesless for macbeth to have crown since he has no son to succeed him. macbeth.
