Example:
"His absense, sir, lays blame upon his promise. Please't your highness to grace us with your royal company.
The table's full.
Here is a place reserv'd, sir.
Where?
Here, my good lord. What is't that moves your highness?
Which of you have done this?
What, my good lord?"
(Act 3, Scene 4, Lines 43-49).
Explanation:
The Ghost of Banquo sits in Macbeth's chair at the banquet. It may not be clear to the characters in the play, but it
is ironic as Banquo's heirs will eventually take over the throne of Scotland, which is currently occupied by Macbeth.
