In the scene where Macbeth and Banquo were revealed with the prophecy that Macbeth shall be King and that Banquo's children will also be kings, Banquo's response to the witches' prophecy was doubtful and full of suspicion. It implied that they must not believe too much, for they might fall to their demise.
