Which lines in this excerpt from act III of Shakespeare’s Macbeth refer to Macbeth’s insecurity because of the threats to his kingship?

Answer :

famous13
These are the lines from Macbeth's soliloquy,
"Upon my head they placed a fruitless crownAnd put a barren scepter in my grip,Thence to be wrenched with an unlineal hand,No son of mine succeeding. "

His kingship is in the threat of Banquo since he doesn't have a son to pass on his throne while Banquo has.
