Macbeth A.K.A Worst Best Friend Ever

As the three witches predicted, Banquo's sons will be kings. This reoccurs to Macbeth and so he figures this will also be a future problem for him, since he his to become king as well. He then plans to kill Banquo. Murder quickly become Macbeth's way of solving his problems. Instead of killing Banquo himself, he sends for two murderers to do his dirty deed. Macbeth learns of Banquo's plan with his son to go horse back riding that day. Two murderers show up and cuts Banquo's throat but makes a big mistake of letting Fleance, Banquo's son, flee the scene. The murderers report back to Macbeth. He is upset that Fleance is still alive but thanks the murderers by making them into noble men. It's surprising that Macbeth had decided to do this without his wife's consent. He doesn't tell her what he has done but hints that she will find out anyways.
