Macbeth Act 3 Questions 2024. What does Banquo think about the witches prophesies? - ANSWER Since they have come true for Macbeth, they may yet come true for him as well. Why does Macbeth want Banquo and Fleance dead? - ANSWER He knows they suspect him of foul play, and he is furious that he has done all of the work (so-to-speak) of becoming king, and Banquo's descendants will benefit from it rather than his. Macbeth says he will be alone until the feast. What does he really do during this time? - ANSWER meets with the two murderers How does Macbeth convince the murderers to help him? - ANSWER plays on their sense of manhood (not unlike how Lady Macbeth did Macbeth in Act I), tells them Banquo is their enemy and if they want to be men, they will do something about him, says he'd do it himself but he doesn't want to upset their (his and Banquo's) mutual friends What is Macbeth's plan for killing Banquo and Fleance? Does it work? - ANSWER He gets two convicted murderers to wait along the road to ambush them. The murderers kill Banquo, but Fleance escapes. Macbeth says, "The worm that's fled Hath nature that in time will venom breed, No teeth for the present." What does that mean? - ANSWER Fleance will be a problem in the future, since he will have children who will become kings, but for now Macbeth can let him go and deal with other things because Fleance is of no immediate threat to him personally.
