Recall that the climax of a plot is where it reaches a turning point—it's the peak of the conflict. From your reading of act III, briefly describe the climax of Macbeth.

The climax in Macbeth occurs in act III, scene III, when Macbeth murders Banquo and Fleance escapes. It is the turning point in the play; prior to this event, Macbeth stays in control, and events play out in his favor. However, Banquo manages to call out to Fleance before Macbeth kills him: “O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly / Thou mayst revenge. O slave!” From this point forward, fortune turns its favor from Macbeth. The audience is left with hope that Fleance will avenge his father’s death and fulfill the witches’ prophecy that Banquo's descendants will form a line of kings.

The brief description of the climax of Macbeth

The story of Macbeth talks about a power-hungry Macbeth and how he would do anything to get and keep his power, including murder and consultation with witches.

The climax comes in the third Act, scene III when he kills Banquo and Fleance escapes with the knowledge that it was Macbeth who murdered him. This brings a turning point in the story as Fleance runs away and the readers expect vengeance from her against Macbeth as a fulfilment of an old prophecy.
