'How does Shakespeare present the relationship between Macbeth and Banquo in the play as a whole?'
'I fear thou played most foully for't'
'Stay you imperfect speakers, tell me more'
‣ shows he is curious and already susceptible to the supernatural
‣ use of imperatives suggests he think he can control supernatural and has hubris
'the instruments of darkness tell us truths...to betray's'
‣ metaphor of 'instruments of darkness' illustrates that the witches are puppets of the devil, and thus something very dangerous
Banquo is suspicious of Macbeth's actions, and how he got to the throne so quickly after the withes prophecies
'all hail Macbeth'
'Macbeth doth murdered sleep'
Blood
'The blood-boltered Banquo smiles upon me'
as Macbeth sees the long line of kings that descend from banquo during his second encounter with the witches - a 'horrible sight'
'Never shake thy gory locks at me'
said by Macbeth at the banquo, suggesting he will not take responsibility for his murder
Ambition
'May they not be my oracles as well'
said by Banquo, he realises that the prophecies for him could be true also, and hopes them to be
However, he doesn't let his ambition sway his morals, and doesn't disrupt the natural order to get what he wants
'Myself should be the root and father of many kings'
'restrain in me the cursed thoughts'
'thou shalt get kings'
'vaulting ambition'
Macbeth becomes more swayed by ambition and lust for power as the play goes on
he does sin to get what he wants
'No boasting like a fool. this deed I’ll do before this purpose cool'
Natural Imagery
'If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not'
'Myself should be the root and father of many kings'
'royalty of nature'
Friendship
'my noble partner'
'As cannons overcharged with double cracks'
Turning Point
after Macbeth kills Duncan, he says:
'to be thus is nothing, but to be safely thus. Our fears in Banquo stick deep'
he is saying that as king he is safe, but he is not 'safely' king as it was said in the prophecy that Banquo's sons would form a long line of kings
