Macbeth theme: power and corruption.

Macbeth and Banquo Paragraph

Friendship and noble-tie is more than greed. A foil is a character that follows the same path as the protagonist but makes different decisions. Banquo and Macbeth help each other in many ways but Banquo is usually the person who gets Macbeth out of trouble and onto the right path. Banquo is a perfect foil to Macbeth. You shall be king. Banquo follows Macbeth everywhere and he is his most noble friend. even though he is not king and he is more like family to Macbeth he still obeys and helps Macbeth with the situation he is in. He is not jealous but he is brave and proud of him. That, trusted home, Might yet enkindle you unto the crown, Besides the thane of Cawdor. But ’tis strange.And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray ’s In deepest consequence. He helps Macbeth with the difficult decisions he has to pass. He is giving Macbeth advice on what to do and telling him about what he should change in what he said, correcting him of his mistakes.

Banquo has not only been worked up on the same path as Macbeth but he also chooses to do things differently. Banquo always helps Macbeth with the problems he has to conquer and is being a true and a kind friend to someone who most people would be jealous of.
