“I fear
Thou play’dst most foully for it.”
I chose this quote, because it was one of the first, of many, flaws in Macbeth's plan. Banquo is the one speaking this quote, and since he was with Macbeth when the witches gave them their prophecies, he knows that Macbeth will be become king one day. So, of course he becomes suspicious when Duncan dies, and Macbeth is next in line for the throne. Then, all because of this simple line, he dies. Macbeth must've wanted the throne really badly, considering he proceeded to kill his best friend. Well, then Banquo dies, because Macbeth doesn't want him going around telling on him, and it's just not a good thing in my opinion.
Personally, in the beginning of the book I don't think the witches should have told them their prophecies, because if you were told you'd be king one day, you wouldn't wait around for fate to make it happen, you'd be tempted to go out and make it happen yourself. So ultimately, Macbeth has been going through with these terrible deeds for the simple fact that he wants the throne, which he thinks he rightly deserves.
I agree. I think that in this quote Banquo starts to become suspicious of Macbeth considering the prophecy he heard and the random killings he starts to put two and two together. Also in this quote Banquo is kind of trying to tell Macbeth that he is wrong and kind of needs to stop whatever he's doing because it's not worth it.
