What is the difference between Macbeth's and Banquo's reactions to the witches How will this affect the whole play?
Macbeth takes them more seriously than Banquo. There is nothing Banquo could do anyway to make his children become kings without him becoming a king himself. But Banquo, despite his lighthearted reaction to the witches, does not forget them. In Act II Scene 1 he says to Macbeth, "I dreamt last night of the three weird sisters. To you they have shown some truth." So perhaps there is not such a difference between their reactions after all.The difference between the witches' predictions for Macbeth and those for Banquo are that the ones for Macbeth are being fulfilled even as they speak, whereas Banquo's will not happen in his lifetime. There is no incentive for Banquo to try to hurry them on; there is such an incentive for Macbeth. It is this and not their reactions which send Macbeth and Banquo down separate paths in the play.
