Banquo and Macbeth happen upon the three weird sisters, who tell them the prophecy.
When King Duncan is killed, Duncan's sons flee the country. This puts Macbeth in position to take the crown.
The weird sisters warn Macbeth that he must "beware Macduff, Thane of Fife".
The witches have said that Banquo will not be king himself, though his sons will be. This makes Macbeth believe that Banquo's family plots against him. He sends assassins to kill Banquo and his son.
"Is this a dagger I see before me?"
Cawdor, Inverness and Edinburgh are all in Scotland, within the reach of Duncan's murderer. The sons decide to leave the country to England and Ireland.
Lady Macbeth hallucinates blood on her hands, and becomes obsessed with washing off a persistent spot of blood from them.
Macbeth's assassins arrive and inform Macbeth that Banquo is slain, but that his son escaped. Banquo's ghost then appears to haunt Macbeth during dinner, and only Macbeth can see or hear him.
Isengard is from Lord of the Rings. Dunsinane is the castle where the final battle takes place. The soldiers approach it stealthily by using branches from the surrounding forest as camouflage.
Macbeth's head mounted on a pike has become an iconic symbol of the play, though it is Macduff's sword that kills him first.
Conflicted. Macbeth wants to rule as king, and is pressured to kill Duncan by Lady Macbeth. However, he knows this is wrong, and views Duncan as a friend. Still, he goes through with it.
"Ashes to Ashes" is a funeral rite. "Something wicked this way comes" is part of the chant, but is not how it begins. It begins with "Double Double, Toil and Trouble".
Macbeth is not an Earl. Macduff is the Thane of Fife. Macbeth becomes Thane of Glamis and Cawdor, and King of Scotland.
Lady Macbeth does indeed kill herself, but she does not kill anyone else - instead she encourages Macbeth to kill people, and assists him in covering his tracks.
"I have no spur" is from much earlier in the play. The "box of chocolates" quote is from Forrest Gump. The monologue starts with "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow".
Lennox is a scottish nobleman. Seyton is Macbeth's servant. Gerson is from the Undertale and Deltarune series of video games. The answer is Fleance.
When the witches say that Banquo's sons will be kings, he thinks that his family is a threat, and sends assassins to kill them. The assassins kill Banquo, but Banquo's son Fleance gets away.
The forces come from England to assist in the Scottish battle.
Seyton tells him "The queen, my lord, is dead."
They worship Hecate, who is a Greek goddess of sorcery, necromancy, and the night. Artemis is a Greek goddess of hunting, Baphomet is an occult demon representing unification of dualities, and Dagoth Ur is the villain from the video game Morrowind.
