On Act III of Macbeth, we noticed the though of Banquo regarding Macbeth coronation and about the weird sisters’ prophecy, “Thou hast it now, King, Cawdor, Glamis, all As the Weird Women promis’d, and, I fear, Thou play dst most foully for’t; yet it was said, It should not stand in thy posterity; But that myself should be the root and father Of many Kings. If there come truth from them (As upon thee, Macbeth, their speeches shine), why, by the veritres on thee made good, May they not be my oracles as well, And set me up in hope? But, hush; no more.” (3, 72, 1-10), since the witches foretold Macbeth that he will become King, and Banquo feeling of ambition are altered by this. It is interesting that throughout the play the term , AMBITION, is seen again in Banquo. It is interesting how Shakespeare uses this characteristic to portray that ambition is a powerful feel among these characters.
