  • 00:00:00
    hello everybody and welcome to today's
  • 00:00:01
    video where we're going to look at the
  • 00:00:03
    character of banquo in macbeth
  • 00:00:05
    one of banquo's functions in the play is
  • 00:00:07
    to operate as a foil to macbeth
  • 00:00:10
    a foil is a character who contrasts
  • 00:00:12
    another character
  • 00:00:13
    usually the protagonist to highlight
  • 00:00:15
    certain things about them
  • 00:00:16
    in many ways shakespeare presents banquo
  • 00:00:19
    as similar to macbeth
  • 00:00:20
    both are captains in the army referred
  • 00:00:22
    to by duncan as
  • 00:00:23
    our captains macbeth and banquo in act 1
  • 00:00:26
    scene 2.
  • 00:00:27
    both are brave warriors as explained by
  • 00:00:29
    the sergeant in the same scene
  • 00:00:31
    who tells of how they were as cannons
  • 00:00:33
    overcharged with double cracks
  • 00:00:35
    both are well respected in act 1 scene 4
  • 00:00:38
    duncan refers to banquo as noble the
  • 00:00:41
    same word used two scenes earlier to
  • 00:00:43
    describe macbeth
  • 00:00:44
    however where the characters really
  • 00:00:46
    differ is in their actions following
  • 00:00:48
    meeting the witches
  • 00:00:49
    in act 1 scene 3. macbeth receives three
  • 00:00:53
    prophecies which include the statement
  • 00:00:55
    that he will one day be king
  • 00:00:56
    and banquo receives one prophecy that
  • 00:00:59
    although he won't be king himself
  • 00:01:00
    his descendants will be the witches
  • 00:01:02
    prophesied to both macbeth and banquo
  • 00:01:05
    but banquo is skeptical and wary telling
  • 00:01:07
    the witches that he does
  • 00:01:09
    neither beg nor fear your favors or your
  • 00:01:11
    hate
  • 00:01:12
    macbeth's reaction is different when the
  • 00:01:14
    witches prophesy he will one day be king
  • 00:01:16
    banquo asks macbeth why do you start
  • 00:01:19
    meaning
  • 00:01:20
    why are you so startled the reaction of
  • 00:01:22
    macbeth is all the more notable
  • 00:01:24
    when compared to that of banquo despite
  • 00:01:27
    the fact that both of these men
  • 00:01:29
    of equal position in the social
  • 00:01:30
    hierarchy receive prophecies from the
  • 00:01:32
    weird sisters
  • 00:01:34
    only macbeth takes matters into his own
  • 00:01:36
    hands and embarks on his bloody campaign
  • 00:01:38
    of violence
  • 00:01:39
    banquo doesn't succumb to the prophecies
  • 00:01:41
    in the same way as macbeth
  • 00:01:43
    because he doesn't have the same
  • 00:01:44
    hermatia or fatal flaw
  • 00:01:46
    see my character analysis video on
  • 00:01:48
    macbeth for more about that
  • 00:01:49
    it appears that banquo is not ambitious
  • 00:01:52
    in the way that macbeth
  • 00:01:53
    is shakespeare's source material for the
  • 00:01:55
    play was hollins heads chronicles
  • 00:01:57
    a history book in which there is a
  • 00:01:59
    retelling of the true story
  • 00:02:01
    of king macbeth of scotland but
  • 00:02:02
    shakespeare's play differs from
  • 00:02:04
    holland's head when it comes to the
  • 00:02:05
    character of banquo who in the source
  • 00:02:07
    material was part of the plot to kill
  • 00:02:09
    the king
  • 00:02:10
    shakespeare alters this in his own play
  • 00:02:12
    to paint banquo in a more positive light
  • 00:02:15
    possibly because it was believed that
  • 00:02:16
    king james the first was a descendant of
  • 00:02:18
    banquo
  • 00:02:19
    remember banquo's prophecy was that his
  • 00:02:22
    descendants would be kings
  • 00:02:23
    shakespeare's own king was said to be
  • 00:02:25
    one of these in this light banquo would
  • 00:02:28
    have to be presented
  • 00:02:29
    in a sympathetic manner by shakespeare
  • 00:02:31
    however there is another way to look at
  • 00:02:33
    the character of banquo
  • 00:02:34
    in act 2 scene 1 banquo asks his son
  • 00:02:37
    fliance to take my sword
  • 00:02:39
    he admits he does not want to go to
  • 00:02:41
    sleep because of the cursed thoughts
  • 00:02:43
    he's been having
  • 00:02:44
    what are these cursed thoughts well a
  • 00:02:47
    few moments later
  • 00:02:48
    banquo informs the newly arrived macbeth
  • 00:02:50
    i dreamt last night of the three weird
  • 00:02:52
    sisters
  • 00:02:53
    when we put all this together could it
  • 00:02:55
    be that banquo gave his sword to fliance
  • 00:02:57
    because he couldn't trust himself not to
  • 00:02:59
    do something evil with it
  • 00:03:01
    shortly after the murder of king duncan
  • 00:03:03
    banquel remarks that macbeth has it all
  • 00:03:05
    now
  • 00:03:05
    but fears that he played most foully for
  • 00:03:08
    it
  • 00:03:08
    this is an acknowledgment that bancro
  • 00:03:10
    suspects macbeth
  • 00:03:12
    but why does banquo not sound the alarm
  • 00:03:14
    why does he not raise objections or even
  • 00:03:16
    refuse to support the new king
  • 00:03:18
    like macduff does a line in the previous
  • 00:03:20
    act gives us a good idea
  • 00:03:22
    in act 2 scene 1 macbeth tells banquo
  • 00:03:24
    that he should
  • 00:03:25
    cleave to my consent meaning stay loyal
  • 00:03:28
    to me
  • 00:03:29
    and when the time comes it will work out
  • 00:03:30
    well for him banquo's response is very
  • 00:03:33
    vague and he simply says that so long as
  • 00:03:35
    he loses no honour by doing so
  • 00:03:37
    he will so banquo believes he stands to
  • 00:03:40
    gain from macbeth's position as king
  • 00:03:42
    and this is perhaps why he keeps his
  • 00:03:44
    thoughts to himself about the evil act
  • 00:03:46
    his friend has committed
  • 00:03:47
    ultimately however bancro's resistance
  • 00:03:49
    to evil and his goodness are what cost
  • 00:03:51
    him his life
  • 00:03:52
    when macbeth agonizes over the decision
  • 00:03:54
    to kill his friend
  • 00:03:55
    he refers to banquo's wisdom that doth
  • 00:03:58
    guide his valor in act 3 scene 1.
  • 00:04:00
    macbeth is acknowledging that the thing
  • 00:04:02
    he fears most about banquo is his good
  • 00:04:04
    and wise nature
  • 00:04:06
    many critics observe that macbeth
  • 00:04:08
    representing evil
  • 00:04:09
    and banquo representing good cannot
  • 00:04:12
    exist together
  • 00:04:12
    only one can survive whether shakespeare
  • 00:04:15
    was simply rewriting the history books
  • 00:04:17
    in order to please king james the first
  • 00:04:19
    or rewriting his source material to tell
  • 00:04:21
    an even better story
  • 00:04:23
    banquo is a character that is often
  • 00:04:25
    misunderstood in terms of his complexity
  • 00:04:27
    he is good where macbeth is evil and he
  • 00:04:29
    leaves things up to chance where macbeth
  • 00:04:31
    takes fate into his own hands
  • 00:04:33
    the character of banquo complements
  • 00:04:35
    macbeth insofar as he highlights
  • 00:04:37
    macbeth's downfall
  • 00:04:38
    but banquo himself is no angel his
  • 00:04:40
    actions and his indecision in the face
  • 00:04:42
    of treason
  • 00:04:43
    paint him out to be a more complex
  • 00:04:45
    character than we may imagine
  • 00:04:47
    perhaps shakespeare is allowing for the
  • 00:04:48
    fact that nobody is perfect
  • 00:04:50
    no person is all good or all evil but
  • 00:04:53
    the conflict within macbeth that leads
  • 00:04:55
    him to do evil
  • 00:04:56
    deeds appears to have the opposite
  • 00:04:57
    result in banquo
  • 00:04:59
    yet more evidence of shakespeare's
  • 00:05:00
    fascination with complex characters
  • 00:05:02
    contrasts and opposites if you found
