Macbeth orders the deaths of Macduff's family and servants because:

• he wanted to punish Macduff for betraying him and joining with Malcolm

• Lady Macduff had had an affair with Banquo and might be pregnant with an heir

• Lady Macbeth was jealous of Lady Macduff

We know that the ghost of Banquo is not “real” because

• he does not say anything to anyone
• nobody but Macbeth can see him
• he does not look like Banquo
• he is not serving an actual purpose
