Answer:

Banquo says shows Macbeth that he will deal with the promise with suspicion.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Macbeth and Banquo each receive a prophecy of witches. Macbeth receives the prophecy that he will be king one day and Banquo receives the prophecy that he will not be king, but will be the father of kings. Though excited by what he heard, Banquo tells Macbeth that he will handle the prophecy with disbelief, because sometimes dark agents appear to seduce men with words while telling untrue information.

When these two characters met the witches Macbeth was a valiant soldier and Banquo was his friend. From the very beginning, both men reacted to the witches’ prophecies in different ways. Macbeth was curious about their predictions whereas Banquo was suspicious. Banquo told Macbeth he wouldn't take such silly predictions seriously, and that he hoped Macbeth would forget everything about them.
