Pattern Symbol Memory + + and Meaning in Macbeth

Macbeth A Close Look at Banquo And “Good buddies...’till the end?” “Wherever we go...it’s together” Macbeth Every complex character needs sidekick, foil, partner...an opposite...

Symbols and Banquo Where there is Banquo; there is Light. Act 2 Scene 1 Enter Banquo, and Fleance bearing a torch (II.1.19) Banquo: Hold, take my sword. There’s husbandry in heaven,/Their candles are all out. Take thee that too. A heavy summons lies like lead upon me, And yet I would not sleep. (II.1.19) After a brief exchange, Banquo, Fleance and servant—all torch-bearers exit—leaving Macbeth in the dark—to see a dagger. Where there is Banquo; there is Light. Where there is Light; there is goodness. Banquo = Goodness

Patterns & Banquo The Pattern within Banquo’s words: “Why do you start and seem to fear/Things that do sound so fair? (I.III.6) “...have we eaten on the insane root...?” (I. III.8) “The instruments of darkness tell us truths,/Win us with honest trifles...” (I.III.8)

Time to Frost... Your Layer Cake... Make new meaning from complex connections Your Layer Cake...

Memory: Mac & Banquo are good buds + Symbol: Banquo is goodness through light + Pattern: Banquo speaks of truth and is not afraid Add it up... Banquo represents Macbeth’s “good” side. The killing of Banquo by Macbeth leaves Macbeth alone and in total darkness...to be consumed by evil.
