Act 2: Banquo's Fate Foreshadowed

     In Act 2 Scene 1, Banquo feels weird about his future and has a talk with his son about it. First of all he has had trouble sleeping lately, because his dreams have been filled with horrid nightmares so he has a hard time falling back to sleep. He looks up to the sky and says that he can't see any stars, which suggests that he either does not have a future or he does not see a future in store for him. Banquo not being able to see stars could foreshadow that he is going to die later on in the story. He also gives his son, Fleance, his sword, which suggests that he knows his death is coming soon so he is trying to give his son what he has.
