 Studying Macbeth, let's discuss how Macbeth and Banco react to the witches when they first meet them. Macbeth says, speak if you can, what are you? And this zero hair shows his fair when he sees the witches. In contrast to Macbeth, Banco actually seems a bit more confident and he speaks a little bit longer. He asks the witches, good sir, why do you start and seem to fair? And the eye and mic metameter hair shows that Banco is not as fair for the witches and Macbeth. Also, his question here shows that he challenges them. He's asking, why are they pronouncing Macbeth all of these things? Although Banco challenges the witches' prophecy, this declarative sentence to me you speak not shows that he's also kind of curious as to what his prophecy will be. The metaphor here, seeds of time, show that he understands the witches have the power to seem to the future. However, Macbeth seems as if he's under a spell. He says, stay you imperfect speakers, tell me more. And these imperative sentences show that he's fallen right into the hand. The literation here of the Thane shows that he's not aware that Thane of Cordo is already dead. He's the one actually that killed him but he didn't realise it.
