Banquo knows that Macbeth was professed to be the next king and Macbeth is standing here telling everyone what happened. This is unsurprising because he probably feels that Macbeth had something to do with it and he warned Macbeth earlier that he might be falling into evil thinking. Banquo is probably upset wit...

Act One Scene Banquo And Fleance
805 wordsIs Lady Macbeth the real villain of Macbeth? (500 words) I don't believe that Lady Macbeth can be seen as the real villain because she is only part of the reason why Macbeth decided to kill Duncan and Co. If she hadn't have promoted the idea of Macbeth being King he would never have killed Duncan. This is because Macbeth is a little soft, where's Lady Macbeth is someone who wants to get in there and get the job done to better herself.

Macbeth Not A Play Of Fate
872 wordsWilliam Shakespeare's Macbeth is not necessarily a play of fate, but rather a tragedy that occurred as a result of uncontrollable greed and malevolence by Macbeth and his wife. The weird sisters only make suggestions about Macbeth's road to kingship; they do not cast spells to make true all their predictions. These interpretations lead Macbeth and Lady Macbeth to kill Duncan and secure the title Thane of Cawdor. While in kingship Macbeth elects to kill Banquo and his son, Fleance, for Macbeth wa...

Macbeth And His Wife Foul Is Fair
2,288 wordsIn Shakespeare's Macbeth, one of the reoccurring themes throughout the play was Fair is foul and foul is fair.

First, throughout the play, many people end up being the opposite of how their...
