Autumn
An important event of Act III was the death of Banquo. Macbeth wanted Banquo and Fleance both dead because he thought they would jeopardize the throne. Macbeth asked two murders to do the job but asked another because he was paranoid it wouldn't get done. "To be thus is nothing, but to be safely thus. Our fears in Banquo stick deep, and in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared." Macbeth is saying that there is no joy in being king unless the position is safe and he fears that Banquo and Fleance could take that away from him.
I believe that the beginning of Act I was extremely important. Macbeth's interrogation of Banquo set the stage for his death. Asking "Ride you this evening?", and "Goes Fleance with you?", are the two details which I believe really urged Macbeth to go through with the assassination. He wanted the two together and getting them both at once would be the easiest way to keep Banquo's prophecy from coming true.
