What two people observe Lady Macbeth sleepwalking?
In Shakespeare's "Macbeth," the two characters who observe Lady Macbeth sleepwalking are Dr. and a gentlewoman. The doctor is concerned about her mental state, while the gentlewoman, who has been watching her, describes Lady Macbeth's actions and the guilt that manifests in her sleep. Their observations highlight Lady Macbeth's psychological turmoil and the consequences of her and Macbeth's ambition.
Do you think Macbeth would have been tempted by thoughts of kingship if he had never met the witches?
It is likely that Macbeth's ambition for kingship would have been less pronounced without the influence of the witches. The witches' prophecies serve as a catalyst for his desire for power and his willingness to act on it. Without their influence, Macbeth may not have been as tempted to pursue the throne through violent means.

What characteristic of Macbeth's if changed would most change the theme of this play?
Had Macbeth been less susceptible to his wife's charms and had said to her, "If you think it's such a good idea to kill Duncan, kill him yourself," she would not have had the guts to do it because he looks too much like her father when he sleeps. There would be no murder, Macbeth would not have gone crazy, his wife would not have gone crazy, (although there may have been some serious strain in the marriage). When Duncan died, the nobles might have chosen Macbeth as king anyway, or after a short time under an incompetent King Malcolm, Macduff and Ross and Lennox would have begged Macbeth to claim the throne himself. It would have been a play about the virtues of patience in the face of temptation.

What does banquo have that Macbeth does not?
I would say, Banquo had will. His will out weighed any temptations he had towards his goals. Though, just as ambitious as Macbeth, Banquo held back, happy to sit in the back seat as Macbeth explored the front row. This, truthfully would have been better in the long run (you know what they say about the tortoise and the hare) if it wasn't for Macbeth's greed and paranoia.
