What does banquo say about the motives of the instrument of darkness?

He is presented as a loyal and heroic warrior who had no apparent lust for power. However, the flames of ambition could be seen when he uttered "tell me more" after the witches prophecy. The prophecy, however, is half finished and he is responsible for finishing it off himself. Thus, the main plot is set in motion and is a chilling foreshadowing of the influence of power and the corruption it has, even on a "good" person like Macbeth.
Macbeth is seriously conflicted between a number of possibilities. He seriously considers letting fate take its course ("If chance would have me king, why then let chance crown me."), taking agressive action ("Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall down or else o'erleap for in my way it lies."), and doing nothing and disregarding the prophecy ("We shall proceed no further in this business.") What drives him to commit the murder is not "vaulting ambition" but his fear that his wife will consider him less than manly.

If not I am sorry but you worded the question in a way in which I do not understand who "he" is, giving me the impression that there were previous questions

∙ 14y agoThe dark and stormy weathers, as well as the number of deaths, made the Shakespearean play a dark story. Any descriptions or indications of weather were of darkness or of storms. The play began and ended with bloodied battle scenes. In between, there were the individual murders of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]; his two royal guards; Banquo; Lady Macduff and her son; Young Siward; and Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. Additionally, there were the references to the execution of the disgraced Thane of Cawdor; the slaughter of the other Macduff family and household members in the Fife Castle massacre; and the suicide of Macbeth's Lady [b. c. 1015].

∙ 14y agoWilliam Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] was able to engage the reading and viewing audience in his play 'Macbeth'. He did so by the play's short length and ease of performance. He also did so by the play's compact plot, minimum of main characters, and grand scale of the beginning and ending battle scenes. Shakespeare linked all of the five acts by the actions against which the major characters had to make snap decisions. For example, Act 1 was the recognition of the raging, uncontrollable ambition of the brave, noble Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] and his passionate, scheming wife. Were they or were they not going to reconcile their power hungry natures with their duties to their king and their country? By Act 5, readers and viewers had witnessed each decision in each act that had led Macbeth and his wife further and further up the road to tyranny and further and further down the path to their destruction.

∙ 9y agoThis question makes some assumptions about the interpretation of the play. The witches are frequently interpreted as being "instruments of darkness", but that is not the only way of looking at them.

How did Banquo die?
Macbeth killed banquo. Because Macbeth heard the witches say he will also be king. so Macbeth saw him as a threat to the throne and lets just say did something bad to banquo (killed him)
Banquo indicates in scene 1 that his greatest priority is?
He doesn't say. Macbeth even asks him whether or not he hopes his children will become kings and Banquo does not answer him.
What kind of a ruler has Macbeth become at the end of act 3?
He's become a tyrant who has left people in fear of what they say. He's started losing all sense of guilt for what he's done to Banquo and Duncan, which he shows by killing Macduff's family. He's still weak because of his reaction to Banquo's ghost but after seeing him he begins to feel better because he believes he has put his ghost at rest and is no longer haunted by Banquo. Also, you can say Macbeth created Banquo's ghost in his imagination because he feels the guilt (he can't bring himself to say he's murdered Banquo) and until he can admit what he's done, that's when his feelings of guilt and remorse deteriorate

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.
