In Shakespeare's Macbeth, there is
one large difference between Macbeth and Banquo. While both men see the promise and
fortune that the crown will bring to them and their families, Banquo does not take
matters into his own hands to insure the prophecy comes
true.
Macbeth decides that, given the prophecy, he must do
whatever it takes to possess the crown. Macbeth, therefore, decides to take fate into
his own hands and do what he must to obtain the
crown.
Banquo, instead, trusts in the prophecy enough to
stand aside and let fate take its course. Banquo chooses not to force the crown for his
children.
This is, perhaps, the most striking difference
between Banquo and Macbeth.
