1. Banquo accused Macbeth of killing the King while he was by himself.
2. Macbeth hires Murderers to kill Banquo.
3. Macbeth explains the importance and the way to kill Banquo to the Murderers.
The most inmportant passage is Banquo's speech in the beginning. He says, "Thou hast it now,King, Cawdor, Glamis,all ... And set me up in hope? But hush, no more." (Act 3 Scene 1 Lines 1-10) This is important because it introduces the possibility that Macbeth may get accused of murdering the king. Before this speech, no one even considered that Macbeth did it.
Team Something Awesome- Lady Macbeth and Macbeth talk about their bad dreams. He hints at killing Banquo and Lady Macbeth comforts Macbeth.
