In Act 1, I think Banquo was used by Shakespeare as a contrast to Macbeth; they are close friends, and have similar personalities, but when they are each prophesied great things by the witches, Banquo does not become as ambitious as Macbeth does. I think this shows that Lady Macbeth played a large part in influencing Macbeth to murder Duncan and attain what was prophesied for him...
