Macbeth Act 3 Summary of the Summary
Banquo is suspicious of Macbeth. He thinks Macbeth had something to do with King Duncan's murder. He keeps his ideas to himself.
King Macbeth and Banquo discuss the day's events. Banquo is going to go horse riding with his son, Fleance, and the Macbeths are hosting a banquet that evening. Macbeth says he wants to make sure that Banquo is going to be back in time for the feast.
Macbeth thinks that Banquo knows about his evil ways and the thought that Banquo is alive is driving him crazy. Macbeth meets with 2 murderers who are going to kill Banquo and Fleance that evening as they return from their horse ride.
They kill Banquo, but Fleance gets away. At the banquet, Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo and reacting to the ghost, sounds like a crazy person in front of all the guests. Macbeth is the only one who sees the ghost. Lady Macbeth tries to keep Macbeth calm, but the appearance of Banquo's ghost is too much for Macbeth. He yells at the ghost. All the guests are dismissed from the banquet.
The thanes (generals) and lords of Scotland are all getting suspicious of Macbeth and they talk about how strange things are in Scotland.
