Question: In “The tragedy of Macbeth” Act 3 in what part of Macbeth plan does the two murderers succeed, and in what part do they fail
In Act 3 of "The Tragedy of Macbeth," Macbeth plots to kill Banquo and his son, Fleance, because of the witches' prediction that Banquo's descendants will become kings. Macbeth sees this as a threat to his throne and hence hires murderers to get rid of them. The part of the plan that the murderers succeed is killing Banquo. Banquo is ambushed by the murderers while on his way to a feast at Macbeth's palace and is killed. The part they fail is the assassination of Fleance. Despite their attempt to also kill him, Fleance manages to escape. This failure represents a serious flaw in Macbeth's plan to secure his power, as the witches' prophecy about Banquo's lineage producing future kings remains possible, and this ultimately leads to Macbeth's downfall.
? The two murderers succeed in killing Banquo and Fleance, as indicated by Macbeth's instructions to them in Act 3, Scene 3. However, they fail in killing Fleance, as Fleance escapes, leaving the murderers unsuccessful in completing the mission entirely.
