Banquo Influence On Macbeth

Satisfactory Essays

Macbeth
3 Witches have met in a "desert" place. And they speak about how they will see Macbeth, Thane of Glamis.

Macbeth and Banquo (His Best Friend) have just come from a battle, where they have been victorious, on the way back from said battle, they come across 3 weird sisters who tell Macbeth that he is going to be Thane of Cawdor and then king.

They tell him this after telling him about being the Thane of Glamis which lends a certain sense of credibility to the prophecies is the fact that the moment he gets back to the king he is told that he will now become Thane of Cawdor

Banquo becomes a bit confused and is quite shocked, as he knows his friend well and probably knows that this supernatural intervening could lead him down a dark path
