my 2 cents :
supernaturals
- dagger : hallucination (weak point)
- witches : predictions, lead to macbeth's downfall and "dead butcher status
- apparations : gave macbeth false hopes, thus causing him to hold on to them dearly like a thin thread before he died in the hands of macduff
- banquo's ghost : shortly after the death of banquo, intended to instill guilt in macbeth but it did not work. could be a hallucination.
- darkness : evil happens in darkness. horses eating horses. owl kills eagle (not sure of the birds, but definitely small kills big)
role of banquo
- as the king's noble kinsman and subject in contradiction to macbeth's evil
- to bring out the evil in macbeth
- quote "if you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, it shall make honour for you" .. banquo agrees to be with macbeth without compromising his loyalty to the king
- macbeth total opposite, killed king duncan and banquo and macduff's family
- banquo not affected by witches predictions although his predictions were more prosperous.
