   Act III opens with a short soliloquy by Banqo that reveals he has grown very suspicious of the means through which Macbeth has ascended to the throne of Scotland. He suspects that Macbeth himself is responsible for King Duncan's murder:

   Thou hast it now: King, Cawdor, Glamis, all,

   As the weird women promised, and I fear

   Thou play'dst most foully for 't.

   Banquo "fears," but he does not know for certain. The power of the witches' prophecy is not entirely clear to him.
