#macbeth play

Yes mother. I do not have any mental problems. Shakespeares’ Macbeth and Macduff are just constantly fighting for control in my head.

Something about the play Macbeth that really isn't talked about is the character of Banquo. He is always portrayed as this loyal, noble, righteous and honorable person. But we never dig into his ambiguity as a character. He was there with Macbeth when the witches delivered the prophecy, he was kind of subconsciously (I believe consciously though) always suspecting Macbeth's intentions and his reactions from the very beginning. However, we never notice him telling this to anybody. The witches' words did manage to get to him. We see him as this faithful person to Duncan but never once does he mention his meeting with the witches. But never once does he call Macbeth out. It's always like he knows what stuff Macbeth did but just let's it slide. Maybe, you never know he wasn't this great person that he is shown as. Maybe internally he was alright with the drastic turn in events. Maybe a tiny part in him wanted this to happen so that the words of the witches come true. Imagine him having nightmares because of these guilty thoughts and waking up Fleance, his son which makes him extremely concerned about his father. @solo-walker what do you think?
