Banquo and Macbeth were really close friends. Until one day they got a visit from the witches. In the book Macbeth says, “Always remember that I must be free from suspicion. For the plan to work perfectly, you must kill both Banquo and his son Fleance, who keeps him company. Getting rid of Fleance is as important to me as knocking off Banquo.” (Pg. 95) Macbeth sent murderers to go kill Banquo and his son, Fleance while they were riding their horses.

Since Macduff was a traitor, Macbeth thought if he killed his family it'll be his revenge on him. Another reason Macbeth is much more eviler is that he didn't kill Macduff’s family himself, he sent the same murderers who killed Banquo to go kill Macduff’s family. The first murderer killed Macduff’s son in Act 4 and said, “What's that, you runt? (stabbing him) Young son of a traitor!” (Pg. 155) After Macduff's son got stabbed, he told his mother to run away but before she can the murderers already killed her.
