Banquo

Initial impression is very positive
- Courageous and loyal patriot
  - Meeting with witches
    - Contrasting reaction to Macbeth
      - Highlights nobility and lack of ambition
      - Contrast character to Macbeth
Shrewd character
- Perceives that witches are fundamentally evil
- Says witches may trick and betray Macbeth
- Astuteness is seen in unwillingness to accept that Duncan was killed by own guards
- Declares that scottish lords should investigate
Changes as the seed of ambition takes root in his mind
- Start of Act2, prays to 'merciful powers' to help him resist temptation
- By Act3, tarnished by ambition
- Suspects Macbeth but says nothing
  - Hopes prophecies for his sons will come thrue
- Failure to investigate Duncan's murder shows moral decline
  - Failure to take action is morally wrong and puts Fleance at risk
    - Victim to Macbeth's tyranny
      - Innate nobility
      - Banquo's prophecies
- Corrupt
