Duncan and Banquo had no inkling what would happen to them at MacBeth’s welcoming castle. On any old day you can be ignorant that before evening—even within the next hour, or minute—you’ll be maimed, disabled, or killed in some unforeseeable (hence unpreventable) accident. The actual event is terrible enough, but there’s also the retrospective poignancy of your previous unawareness.
