Explanation:

Macbeth is the tragedy written by William Shakespeare, which was first staged in 1606. The tragedy shows that extreme ambition can lead one to sin and this sin to guilt. Macbeth, the protagonist of the play, was ambitious of becoming a king. After the prophesy of weird sisters, his ambition became more stronger that he murdered the King Duncan.

In Act 3, of the play, Banquo was pacing in the royal Palace, and pondering upon the prophesies that three witches did about Macbeth being a king. Banquo is suspicious that in order to be a king, Macbeth have murdered or killed the king Duncan. He fears that Macbeth have done this folly in order to fulfill the prophesy of the weird sisters.

"Thou hast it now: king, Cawdor, Glamis, all,

As the weird women promised, and, I fear,

Thou play'dst most foully for't:" (Quoted text, from "The Tragedy of Macbeth", Act 3, Scene 1)
