What a kind man Banquo is, always looking out for the interest of others. Too bad he won’t be around much longer to continue doing so. He must be killed. It is the only way to protect my throne. Banquo may be my friend and my trusted colleague and he is a good, noble man but he is a threat to me. His living will lead to my demise. The prophecy the witches predict, knowing that he will father a long line of kings if he lives, leaves me frozen in fear. I have no heir to the throne, I have no one. I know that Banquo suspects that I killed Duncan, I can tell by the way he acts around me. He is tense and uneasy. He isn’t wrong to be. But if he speaks of his suspicion that I murdered Duncan, my rule will surely be at risk.
The prophecy is making
Although Oliver Sacks did not speak about this disorder in his analysis of Dr.P many greek tales and other plays written by Macbeth have showed that people that gain power through immoral ways tend to get very paranoid over their power. For example when Chronos bore the 12 original Olympians he feared that they would eventually grow up and take his throne, so he ate them. Another example might be from Macbeth when Duncan 's sons are accused of killing their own father to gain the throne. Also like in many of these tales this brings their own downfall, a sort of karma. When Macbeth becomes so paranoid over power and kills Banquo his nobles leave him and in the end he is killed. Just like Zues who eventually rose up and threw Chronos into the pits or Tantalus

Within our world, there are some individuals who will do anything to keep the authority of their destiny. Such was the case in Shakespeare’s 1606 tragedy, Macbeth. Macbeth attempts to control the future by killing those who pose a threat and to bury the past by concealing his previous marks of blood that he’s gained throughout the story, illustrating the idea that typically when people start to develop tendencies to shed blood, it will eventually splash right back at them. In Shakespeare's novel, Macbeth the main character Macbeth, shows off several ways he has been able to take control of his future to eliminate any threats he might have on his journey to power. According to the story of Macbeth, it states "I conjure you, by that which you profess
Every character in Macbeth has their own unique personalities and traits that differ them from the other characters in the novel. For example, Macduff has several inner and outer traits that represent himself as a character and dictates how he acts and looks. Judging from his actions and what other characters say about him we can infer what he could look like and what he would wear. When Macduff fled to England to try to convince Malcolm to return to Scotland and assist him, he is told that they should just sit around and cry their hearts out but Macduff says, “Let us rather hold fast the mortal sword and, like good men, bestride our downfall’n birthdom.”

Nevertheless, some feel Macbeth is tougher than Lady Macbeth because Macbeth demonstrates toughness as he is physically strong and fit with more experience.

This is demonstrated in the dagger speech and the Tomorrow speech that will be discussed showing his ambition for power and happiness to his demise.
Trust can build or destroy relationships between people. Similar to glass, once a relationship is broken by distrust it can never be put perfectly back together. In both Shakespeare's Macbeth and "The Social Network" directed by David Fincher, trust is seen as a negative trait. Many characters put their trust in the protagonists, Macbeth and Mark Zuckerburg, only to be betrayed in return. Both Macbeth and Mark betray their significant other, those of a higher authority and their best friend.
The regicide of King Duncan has a responsibility that not one person can bear. Throughout act 1 and 2 of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth it can be seen that the murder of King Duncan should be placed on more than person. The three witches in Macbeth are seen with malicious intentions in act 1, with their prophecies they were able to manipulate Macbeth into regicide. Lady Macbeth, also plays a large role in the death of King Duncan, likewise with the witches, Lady Macbeth was able to convince Macbeth into doing the deed when Macbeth had at first refused to. Lastly, Macbeth’s involvement in this is minor compared to Lady Macbeth’s and the three witches, due to Macbeth’s lack of a backbone he is easily convinced to commit a murder, however this is extremely minor compared to Lady Macbeth and the three witches.
1. "Fair is foul, and foul is fair," is stated in line 10 by the witches in the opening of the play. The significance of this paradox is that it sets us up for the doubleness of the play. It means what is fair to the witches is foul to man.
Of course, we know that Macbeth (with some encouragement from his wife) does murder Duncan.
I know that you and your friend Banquo have met three witches, who argued that Banquo's descendants would be kings, but you who were first named as Thane of Glamis, and then Thane of Cawdor telling you that you will be the next king from Scotland and thanks to this you are taking the decision to kill the king, as your friend it is my duty is to tell you that you are about to commit the worst mistake of your life, I will tell you some reasons why. First, you should protect the king and not kill him, second, your conscience will not leave you alone, and many bad things can happen, and finally, that you must consider Regicide is a serious crime because killing the ruler of the country is a grievous offense.
“I am going slightly mad” by Queen is a terrific representative of Act 3 of Macbeth. It show how the singer has gone crazy, which is exactly what is happening to Macbeth during this act. The singer declares, “I think I’m a banana tree, oh dear, I’m going slightly mad” (Queen) which shows exactly who senseless the person has become. The same is true with Macbeth when he cries, “If charnel houses and our graves must send / Those that we bury back, our monuments / shall be the maws of kites” (3.4.71-73).
Banquo sees the witches for what they are; spiritual creatures who play with the lives of people. He doesn't really care about the messages, or maybe his tendency is not as oriented as Macbeth's. We never meet Banquo's wife, however it is conceivable that she is not the parasitic lady that Lady Macbeth is, and that her recommendation was all the more adoring and sound. Banquo's prescience was both preferable and more awful over Macbeth's. The witches let him know that he is "lesser than Macbeth, and greater...Not so cheerful, yet much happier...Thou shalt get Kings, however thou be none." So, from this we realize that Banquo's inclination is more satisfied and more noteworthy than Macbeth's. Maybe not so in order to desire and strategic maneuvers, however more genuine, more faithful, more respectable. This is likewise what makes him an objective for Macbeth later, since Banquo's kids will get to be rulers. It doesn't set well with Macbeth that his throne won't be secure for eras of Macbeths to administer while Banquo and his child, Fleance, are fluttering around.
