Act Scene i Reaction to Prophecy

Why is Banquo’s reaction to the witches’ prophecies so different from that of Macbeth?

Banquo's reaction to the witches prophecies is different than Macbeth's because the witches prophesied that Macbeth was going to become king and that Banquo's children are the heirs. So there was nothing good for Banquo

Are you sure that being in the lineage of kings is not a good thing? Reread and rethink their reaction.

I agree with David when he says that Banquo's children will reign, and that Macbeth will become king. But I would not say nothing for him, he would have the opportunity to be in alignment with his children, telling them what is best to do.
