The three witches told Macbeth that he would be king, and Banquo’s line would eventually sit on the thrown. Lady Macbeth follows, and now is his queen, and the court. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth ask Banquo to go to the feast they are going to have later that night. The brothers have fled from Scotland and may be plotting against his crown. Banquo leaves and Macbeth dismisses the court. He is left alone in the hall with one of his servant. Macbeth feels that the business that they began. by killing Duncan is not yet complete because there are still threats to the throne that must be stoped. Macbeth tells his wife that he has planned a deed of dreadful note, for Banquo and Fleance and wants her to be jovial and kind to Banquo during the feast.
