What does Macbeth say aside when the others talk what does Macbeth reveal about his thinkinig?

IS THE PROLOGUE A SOLILOQUY OR AN aside romeo and Juliet?

It is not an aside, since there is nobody else on stage, behind whose back the words might be said. Nor is it properly speaking a soliloquy, since it is not delivered within the context of the play. The Prologue is not a character in the play who is delivering his perspective on what is going on, but an external observer giving an objective address to the audience. Compare the prologue of Romeo and Juliet with the similar Prologue in Henry V and contrast it with the soliloquy ( NOT a prologue) which starts Richard III. That soliloquy is given by Richard, one of the characters in the play, and it is given in character.


What does the device of the aside used by Macbeth convey to the audience about his character?

Macbeth's soliloquies show his true thoughts and his true character, because a theme in Macbeth is appearance vs reality. Macbeth acts differently from his asides because he's trying not to show his inner-turmoil and distress or guilt. For example, when he speaks to Duncan, in his aside, Macbeth has darker thoughts, but when speaking to Duncan, he acts like he worships the man.


Why can't Macbeth kill banquo himself?

Banquo is his best friend. Aside from that, Banquo is well loved by many, and if he were to be killed by Macbeth, it would look bad on him. By having the murderers do it, he can mourn Banquo's death and be free of suspicion.
