She doesn't. She says, "How did you dare to trade and traffic with Macbeth in riddles and affairs of death, and I the mistress of your charms, was never call'd to bear my part or show the glory of our art?" In other words she's cheesed off that the other witches went ahead without giving her a piece of the action. She doesn't care about Macbeth or Banquo one way or the other.
Macbeth and Banquo should not trust the witches because they have a history of deception and manipulating people for their own purposes. By engaging with the witches and their prophecies, Macbeth and Banquo open themselves up to potential danger and moral corruption.

Banquo's descendants are said to be kings according to the witches' prophecy, which poses a risk to Macbeth's position as king. Macbeth becomes increasingly paranoid and seeks to eliminate anyone who might challenge his rule.

How did the witches of 'Macbeth' differ from the supernatural creatures in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'?
The witches had no clear motive. They told Banquo and Macbeth the prophecies but other than that, does nothing to help Macbeth. Nor did they torment him or place him under any harm. Furthermore, they are seen as sinister and evil beings who are not to be trust and should be guarded against, as said by Banquo. The supernatural creatures in Midsummer Night will be the faeries. Quite unlike the witches, who seemed to be watching the whole tragedy of Macbeth unfold from a sideline, the faeries are eager to help the Athenian lovers and they also restore order to the world in the end. The witches do not. Lastly, appearance-wise, the witches are ambiguous - they are seen to be quite feminine, yet they have beards and there is doubt as to whether they belong to earth. Macbeth even addresses them as "What are you" instead of "Who are you" when he first met them. The faeries on the other are seen to be quite divine and shows a hieracy. There is a king, queen, there are the servants and also the henchmen like Puck. Also, they are described to be beautiful and having firm ideas about that they want and what they are going to do.
Why doesn't Banquo trust Macbeth?
he served loyal to Duncan in many battles and act 1 scene 2 he has killed Macdonwald and conquered the armies of the king of Norway and the scottish traitor the thane of Cawdor
Why did the information from the witches' apparitions spur Macbeth to commit more murders?
The Witches had mainly 2 encounters with Macbeth. The 3 witches first encounter with Macbeth was when Macbeth and Banquo were returning from a victorious battle. The 3 witches gave Macbeth three prophecies "All hail Macbeth;Thane of Glamis" "All hail Macbeth;Thane of Cawdor" "All hail Macbeth;To be King hereafter" The 3 witches planted the seed of evil in Macbeth with these 3 prophecies, and the seed gradually germinated through the play. Macbeth was the Thane of Glamis by 'Sinel's Death' and when he was given the news that he was the Thane of Cawdor as the previous committed treason and was stripped from his tittle 'What he hath lost noble Macbeth has won' he was deeply influenced by the witches prophecies. He was always thinking of those words the witches said "Have we eaten the insane roots?" It made Macbeth think that he will eventually be king, it caused the thought of evil to be implanted in Macbeth; to kill Duncan in order to gain kingship 'My thought whose murder yet is but fantastical. And in Act 1 scene 4, Macbeth now has totally fallen into the words of the witches "Stars hide your fire let not light see my black and deep desires' he was made believe of the witches' words and has decided to do the deed (killing duncan). However right before the Murder, Macbeth tried to take things into his own hands and had his own compelling thoughts of why not to kill Duncan. Macbeth was his Kinsmen and subject, he received golden opinions and was only honored of late. Other than those reasons "my intent, except for vaulting ambition' it was his ambitious heart together with the push of Lady Macbeth 'screw you courage to the sticking place and we shall not fail' and the words of the witches that influenced him to do the deed, the witches implanted the thoughts of murder and made Macbeth decide to commit murder. After Macbeth committed murder and was king he was still not happy, his 'mind full of scorpions' This was because Banquo's children prophecised to be King and his presence threatened his Kingship. All those factors pushed Macbeth to decide to kill Banquo and his child. From here we can again see that Macbeth trusted the words of the 3 witches he was deeply influenced and the words of the Withches manipulated Macbeth in his decisions. And that when Fleance escaped the murder Macbeth was tormented, this led Macbeth to have a 2nd encounter with the 3 witches. During the second encounter with the 3 witches, they showed Macbeth 3 apparitions. The first was an armored head which could possibly be the head of Macduff depicting the warning, or it could be the sign to the end of the story when Macbeth was beheaded and his head flashed around the country of Scotland. The armored head said 'Macbeth Macbeth!Macbeth! Beware of the thane of Macduff! Beware the thane of fife!" Macbeth responded through thanking it. The second apparition was a bloody child telling Macbeth to "be bloody, bold, resolute. Laugh to the scorn of man as no man born of woman shall harm Macbeth. Macbeth response was "what i need fear thee? make assurance double sure thou shalt not live" And the third apparition was a child with a crown on his head and a tree in his hand saying 'Macbeth shall never be vanquished till Birnam wood to high dunsanine hill. And Macbeth's reactionwas "impossible for a forest to unfix itself." From here Macbeth has totally place his trust into the Witches, he believed the withces and had a singled minded thinking because of the trust and influenced he had towards the witches, he thought that he was invincible and cannot be harmed however in the later part of the story he discovered he was wrong. The witches also showed him a 4th apparition it was a line of 8 phantom king and the ghost of Macbeth at the end. He was angry and cursed the 3 witches. Again the words of the witches cause him to order the murder of Macduff's family. Although it was just an apparition Macbeth believed in it as he was influence through the first encounter. He was still being manipulated in his actions. And during the battle between Macbeth and Macduff, Macbeth again said ' i bear a charm life, no man born of woman shall harm me' this again showed his absolute trust towards the witches. However he later discovered he was wrong believing in the witches. Macduff was 'untimely ripped from his mother's womb', and thus resulting in Macbeth's defeat. In conclusion, the Witches were the cause of everything. They implanted seeds of evil in Macbeth and made him to believe in them. Macbeth's decisions then was made through the influence of the witches and most of it had a negatice impact.
What is Macbeth's attitude towards the witches this time?
Macbeth is very demanding and trust them a lot then the first time
Why is Macbeth at first confident that he will survive the battle against Malcolm and macduff?
Macbeth believes he is invincible because of the witches' prophecy that "none of woman born shall harm Macbeth." He interprets this to mean that he cannot be killed by any man. This overconfidence and misplaced trust in the witches' prophecy lead him to underestimate his opponents.
Why not trust the witches?
Because "witches lie".
