Every Single Person has good and evil within them, as for me I'm just evil. I have embraced the devil himself, his power has taken over me and i feel more powerful then ever, more free than ever. Yet one human can stop me in my task to become immortal and have my name remembered throughout the ages of history.
Banquo, also his son, Fleance" the future king"
I use to be one of god's servants but like all of the devils that were before me, they were gods angels that fell from the top. But in my case i have risen and taken the throne.
I'm not safe in my position as king, The prophecies have been correct so far. But Banquo has been a humble and loyal friend. He must suspect me as many odd things have been going in my favour. He might be contemplating

I'm the serpent hidden under the innocent flower.
For I am Macbeth! No mortal can touch me.
When darkness falls my true form will come out to hunt. Banquo nor Fleance can escape and that's a must. I may even hunt for the angels myself,
Those wicked witches, if only they didn't talk about Banquo and his son's futures. I now know why he wants to talk to me about the witches. This cannot be good, he must be plotting against me. Just like Eve eating the forbidden apple. Banquo is eating away at my trust.
Banquo and his sons will be no more, the name will not last through the generations. He is now my enemy not my friend and i hate him so much that every minute he is alive it eats away at my heart. I may never rest in peace and dine with the past kings. But i will be forever alive and dancing with devil.
The Devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he doesn't exist. I have done that with Banquo. I'm the serpent under the flower ready to strike. I shall pierce his heart with my sword and show no remorse. I have no doubt that power can drive people insane but i'm just evil. The only good that was in me was my love towards my wife. I have no pushed her away from me and know not of the evil within me and power i have. Now I can look into the souls of the very people and i love and kill then without thinking twice. I would be the serpent that would poisons its pray and watch it suffer with the agonizing
Here, Macbeth realizes that if something is not done to Banquo, his sons will become Kings. Macbeth can not have this. He had already worried that his soul will go to hell for what he had done. His fear become evident in this scene also, "But to be safely thus: our fears in Banquo Stick deep;" [Act III, S I, L 53-54] Macbeth has Banquo murdered,
and cover up the things he has done to Banquo. These examples from Macbeth show that
They tell Banquo that he will not be king himself but he will have his descendants as kings:
When Macbeth and Banquo encounter the three witches Banquo is much more skeptical of them, asking “I’ th’ name of truth, are you fantastical, or that indeed which outwardly you show?”(1.3.55). Instead of being captured in words of grandeur, Banquo questions whether the witches are “fantastical” or evil as they appear to be. While he does eventually become more welcoming to his prophecy it is that original hesitation that shows how he does not blindly act in response to something that may be beneficial. Later on, act 3 scene 1 starts with a soliloquy from Banquo that reveals he is suspicious of Macbeth and hints towards some resentment and ambition similar to Macbeth’s. So, like Macbeth, Banquo is not the perfect man and is just as susceptible to the earning for power and success as Macbeth and Macbeth knows it. That is why Macbeth resolves to kill Banquo, he knows Banquo well enough that he suspects Banquo may plot to usurp him just furthering the idea that Banquo is not quite as honorable as initially implied. But, while Banquo may has experienced those pangs of ambition he does not act on them and therefore cannot be labeled a villain. And, in the end we do not know if he ever would have
Later in the play Banquo starts to have a bad feeling about Macbeth. "Thou hast it now: King, Cowdor, Glamis, all,/ as the weird women promised, and I fear/ thou play'dst most foully for `t." III i 1-3, this is a quote from Banquo explaining how he feels about Macbeth's predictions coming true. Macbeth realizes this about Banquo and he starts to have feelings about killing Banquo. This isn't the only reason he feels this way, the witches had also made predictions for Banquo. "Thou shall get kings, though thou be none." I iii 67, Macbeth doesn't want any of Banquo's family to rule Scotland; he wants his own family to continue to rule. Macbeth hires two murderers to kill Banquo and his on Fleance. The murderers end up killing Banquo, but Fleance gets away.
1.) Banquo’s attitude at the beginning to Macbeth having become King, is one of suspicion. He suspects Macbeth had something to do with it.
In the long soliloquy, beginning "To be thus is nothing," he reflects that Banquo would dare a great deal, and yet his daring is accompanied by a certain wisdom that would guide him to act safely. So he is a man to be feared. (56-57)
After murdering Duncan, Macbeth feels that he needs to kill Banquo. He is afraid that Banquo is going to be a problem for him. He is suspicious that Banquo believes Macbeth had something to do with Duncan's murder, "Our fears in Banquo/ Stick deep; and in his royalty of nature/ Reigns that which would be feared" (3.1.47-49). He plans to kill him, though Banquo has made no direct threat against Macbeth. He speaks of feeling inferior to Banquo, even though he is king. "There is none but he/ Whose being I do fear; and under him/ My genius is rebuked" (3.1.53-55). Banquo is Macbeth's closest friend, he is starting to lose trust in everyone around him.
I sent this man to save you and your father while you were both riding the horses. As foreshadowed by the two previous murderers,“But who did bid thee join with us?” (3.3.1). When your father’s familiar arrived, he did not know how to save Banquo without getting
that he is loyal to the King. This is the only time that Banquo sets his foot
After they hear the prophecies told to them by the evil sisters, Banquo starts to worry about Macbeth and his ambitions to become king. Macbeth is thinking that he may become king without doing anything else, and Banquo thinks Macbeth does not deserve to be thane of Cawdor. At this point, the two friends start growing farther from each other because they do not trust one another. Banquo starts to fear Macbeth because he knows if his prophecy is true than he is a threat to Macbeth's throne. Macbeth realizes he must get rid of Banquo to secure his spot on the throne and make sure his sons will not take his place.
Banquo is saying that it is strange how “the instruments of darkness,” (1.3.136) the witches, can lead Macbeth to harm by tricking him. They do this by telling Macbeth a small trifle – that he will become Thane of Cawdor. While this comes true, it is actually a result of Macbeth’s acts of loyalty to the king. Once this first prophecy of the witches proves true, Macbeth bel...

The witches give Macbeth two prophecies: Macbeth shall be first Thane of Cawdor and then King. In the mean time, Banquo was given the prophecy that his children shall be future kings. Macbeth and Banquo's relationship starts out strong at first, but their friendship fails as power comes into effect. In Act one, Macbeth and Banquo converse over the prophecies the three Weird Sisters have granted them. Macbeth tells Banquo, "Your children shall be kings (1: 3: 89)....
