	Banquo
		Banquo is a character in the play Macbeth, by William Shakespeare.
		After predicting that Macbeth would be king, they predict that Banquo would never himself be king, but would beget a line of kings (the Stuart line of Scottish and English kings).
		Although Macbeth was a historical figure (a very different one from the character in the play), Banquo was not; he is an invention of Shakespeare's.

	Banquo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		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.

		In the first selection, eminent critic A.C. Bradley asserts that Banquo is influenced by the Weird Sisters "much more truly than Macbeth." According to the critic, Banquo essentially loses his innocence when he acquiesces to Macbeth's method of accession, even though he suspects Macbeth of committing Duncan's murder.
		Banquo being at first strongly contrasted with Macbeth, as an innocent man with a guilty, it seems to be supposed that this contrast must be continued to his death; while, in reality, though it is never removed, it is gradually diminished.
		Banquo in fact may be described much more truly than Macbeth as the victim of the Witches.

		In Chronicles, King Duncan is a young and ineffectual ruler, and Macbeth and Banquo conspire to assassinate the king.
		Banquo is not complicit in the murder of Duncan in this play for one simple reason: Banquo is the legendary founder of the Stuart dynasty, of which King James is the last (but, of course, James didn’t know this at the time this play was written).
		In Scene 4.1, the witches grant Macbeth a vision of a line of kings stemming from Banquo’s son that extend to a ruler with “twofold balls and treble scepters” (IV.i.137).

		Macbeth explains to them, as he did in their first meeting, that Banquo is responsible for their misfortune and poverty.
		Macbeth tells them that he could easily murder Banquo himself were it not for the common friends they shared; Macbeth must pretend to be sorrowful at Banquo’s death, and that is why he needs the murderers’ assistance.
