Hamlet had murdered Banquo to make sure that the three witches' prediction of Banquo's family ruling Scotland will not come true This particular scene is from Act 3 Scene IV of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Here, we see Macbeth giving a toast to "our dear friend Banquo, whom we miss;" while the ghost of Banquo is among them. Through the use of the supernatural, Shakespeare gave the readers with an unexpected twist to the story line, giving a voice and identity to the dead even after they are physically gone.
