What effect does Banquo's character have on the play 'Macbeth'?
=The brave, noble general whose children, according to the witches' prophecy, will inherit the Scottish throne. Like Macbeth, Banquo thinks ambitious thoughts, but he does not translate those thoughts into action. In a sense, Banquo's character stands as a rebuke to Macbeth, since he represents the path Macbeth chose not to take: a path in which ambition need not lead to betrayal and murder. Appropriately, then, it is Banquo's ghost-and not Duncan's-that haunts Macbeth. In addition to embodying Macbeth's guilt for killing Banquo, the ghost also reminds Macbeth that he did not emulate Banquo's reaction to the witches' prophecy.=

The next Thane of Cawdor will be the ultamite tratior as he will kill the king to become King.

How does the slaughter of Macdonwald affect Macbeth's actions?
When first faced with the idea of murder, Macbeth backs down from it. Lady Macbeth knew he would (Too full of the milk of human kindness") and so she questions his manhood until he gives in and "Does the deed." By the time Banquo's murder comes around, he is unhappy, paranoid, and most likely suffering from Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder. He is convinced that Banquo and Fleance must die, despite the fact that Banquo has been his best friend for a long time.
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
