Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" revolves around the story of how Macbeth brought about his downfall by his greed and self-interest. The tragic play focuses on the theme of loyalty, guilt, greed, and how fate plays a part in one's life.
Act III of the play shows the scene where the three witches' prophecy came to the fore of the play. Banquo suspects foul play from Macbeth but does not do anything about it. In scene i, Macbeth hires assassins to help him kill Banquo and his son so that the throne of Scotland will be his. Scene iii shows that only Banquo was killed, while his son Fleance managed to escape. After that, Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo at the royal banquet (scene iv).
This is then followed by scene v where Hecate advises the three witches to fill Macbeth with visions and hallucinations to give his a false sense of safety.
Scene vi shows Lennox voicing his suspicions and opinions to a lord, in support for the actions of Macbeth.
Thus, the<u> right order of events of Act III is 2, 3, 4, 5, and 1.
