Banquo Monologue
Hello everyone and thank you for making time and coming today. Banquo was a very good person he would be fair with everyone and do no wrong. He was a good father, friend, and thane. Banquo was a very very close friend mine, basically my best-friend. We've been through a whole lot together. And i know that he is very glad to see you all gathered up here for him today. I asked Fleance if i could say something in order to say my good bye's to Banquo.

Unfortunately I didn't know Banquo when we were infants, but later on in life we met and made good memories together. We then started working for king Macbeth (who may rest in peace as well). My dearest wife,Lady Macbeth, knew Banquo as much as i did and we have no idea on why they killed Banquo

    “To be thus is nothing, but to be safety thus – our fears in Banquo stick deep.” Macbeth does not say in his soliloquy why he fears Banquo; because Banquo heard the witches’ prophecy and probably suspected Macbeth of the murder of King Duncan. Macbeth feels that Banquo is naturally superior to him, and being near Banquo makes him feel ashamed. Immediately after the murder of King Duncan and his ascent to the throne, Macbeth arranges for the murder of Banquo. He would rather see “the frame of things disjoin, both the worlds suffer,” than continue to “eat our meal in fear and sleep in affliction of these terrible dreams that shake us nightly.” Also, Macbeth has reason to fear Banquo as according to the witches’ prophecy, Banquo would not be king, but his children and their children would be kings, and he does not want a meaningless crown on his head that Banquo’s children would just steal off him.…

    By the end of Act I, Banquo still relates to Macbeth as his friend. Banquo has noticed strangeness in Macbeth's behavior, but assumes it is merely a reaction to the new honor (Thane of Cawdor) he has suddenly received. Macbeth and Banquo maintain their friendship into Act II, when Banquo mentions the witches. Macbeth lies, saying he never thinks of them, but tells Banquo that he would like to discuss them further. Macbeth then seeks…

    Banquo was deeply loyal to Duncan so when he heard news about Duncan's death he was deeply saddened. When Duncan was killed by Macbeth, Banquo was pretty suspicious how Duncan’s murder would help Macbeth rise in power. Banquo clearly doesn't feel obligated to showing loyalty to Macbeth. “In the great name of God I stand, and thence against the undivulged pretense I fight of treasonous” (Macbeth 2.3.152-154). Malice and Macbeth doesn't remain loyal since he murdered Duncan,…

    In the beginning Banquo is thinking well if the first thing the witches came true and made Macbeth king why can't his kids become king later. Then macbeth enters in the kings attire. Macbeth discusses his fear of the kids that left. Macbeth invites Banquo to the feast that night, and Banquo accepts his invitation. Banquo says he will make it, but he is going on a horse ride for the afternoon. Macbeth now is contemplating killing his best friend Banquo. The reason he worries is he doesn't want him or his family taking his power. He decides to hire the best assassins he knows to go kill Banquo will he is far away from the castle. They take off to get Banquo. They end up killing Banquo, then come back to the castle in the beginning of the dinner party. It is odd because Macbeth wants no one to know he was apart of the killing, but they pull him aside in the dinner party to talk about the killing. When he comes back to the dinner party he says where am I supposed to sit. They tell him right there there is a empty seat, and Macbeth sees Banquo’s ghost. They start thinking he is crazy. He then says it is weird Banquo is not here I invited him. Lady macbeth interrupts saying he has seen things he was a little kid, and not to ask questions that…

    2) Banquo is noble, honorable and loyal to Macbeth. However, Macbeth wants to kill him and his son Fleance in order to become king. This is because this it the prophecy of the Weird SIsters that Banquo’s sons would become king. “Given to the common enemy of men, to make them kings, the seeds of Banquo’s kings” “Rather than so, come for into the list and champion me in the utterance” p 85…

    The strong harsh language that is used by Macbeth tells us that he is inconsiderate as he refers to Banquo as a “grown serpent”. He is strong and has gained confidence again after being startled of Fleance’s escape. Polanski puts Macbeth in front of the murderer and looking to aside so that he looks bigger and more important than the others. Furthermore, Macbeth is heartless and pretends he knows nothing of Banquo’s absence and evidence for this is:…

    Macbeth's Ruthless Quotes

    • 717 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Macbeth is paranoid of losing his position, he wants to keep it to himself as well as to his descendants. As the three witches described Banquo: “Lesser than Macbeth and greater, not so happy yet much happier, thou shalt get kings, though thou be none.”, implying that Banquo is the root of many kings, Banquo and his son is a threat to Macbeth’s crown(1.3.68-70). Macbeth plans an assassination of Banquo and Fleance while they are on a ride before the dinner at Macbeth’s castle(3.1.129-144). Banquo is murdered and Fleance flees(3.3.29-30). Banquo’s ghost shows up at the dinner and scares Macbeth. Even though Macbeth doesn’t regret killing Banquo, he is still conscious of his terrible actions and the guilt of bringing Banquo to the end of his life. Macbeth at this point has become ruthless enough to murder his close…

    A little after Macbeth kills the king, his friend Banquo starts to suspect this about him. He was also there when Macbeth heard about his future and is connecting the dots. Once Macbeth realizes this, he has Banquo killed as soon as possible. Macbeth says, “Banquo, thy soul's flight, If it finds heaven, must find it out to-night.”(III.i.160-163). He is now taking the initiative to remove Banquo from his life, and to relief, the suspicious put upon him. This one was all on Macbeth. He had no influence except his own, and killing Banquo was his own…
