In scene 5 we open up with the witches and their queen Hecate. She is angry that they did not include her in their mischief that they were creating with Macbeth. She says it is their art to stir up darkness and trouble with humans. In scene 6 we go to Lennox talking about the death of Banquo, he suggests that it is possible that Fleance was the killer. He also has a line relating to darkness “And the right valiant Banquo walked too late…” He says that even the best like Banquo can meet great harm if they are out to late, because one never knows what hides in the shadows.
