Detailed explanation-1: -In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act 3, Scene 1, Macbeth is glad Banquo will not be returning to the palace until nightfall because of what reason? Macbeth wants Banquo killed under cover of darkness.
Detailed explanation-2: -Scene iv: The banquet at Macbeth’s palace. The murderers enter and tells Macbeth that they have killed Banquo, but not Fleance. Everyone sits to dine, and Macbeth realizes there is no seat for him – since Banquo’s ghost has taken his seat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Banquo’s Ghost In this scene, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth host a banquet for the Scottish thanes. A murderer tells Macbeth that he has been successful in killing Banquo, but that Fleance escaped. During the banquet, Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo sitting at his place at the table. He is horrified.
Detailed explanation-4: -It ironically foreshadows the future: Banquo’s ghost occupies Macbeth’s seat, as his descendants will occupy his throne – and ‘push us from our stools’ (line 82). It marks the beginning of the decline of Macbeth’s rule and power: he cannot keep calm on this important occasion of state, and almost reveals his guilt.
