How does Macbeth attempt to gain banquo support How does banquo respond?
In Act II Scene 1, Banquo mentions the witches and Macbeth says "I think not of them, yet, when we can entreat an hour to serve, we would spend it in some words upon that business if you would grant the time." In other words he suggests making a date to talk about the witches. Banquo says ok. Then Macbeth says, "If you shall cleave to my consent, when 't is, it shall make honour for you." "Cleave to my consent" means to go along with his plans, so basically he says, "If you go along with my proposals, I can make it worth your while". Banquo gets suspicious; this sounds too much like Macbeth is trying to sell him something which allegedly fell off the back of a truck. He responds cautiously, "So I lose none in seeking to augment it, but still keep my bosom franchised and allegiance clear, I shall be counsell'd". Banquo put conditions on his agreement: the proposal must be an honourable one that will leave Banquo a free agent. This is not what Macbeth wants to hear at all.
