 Study Macbeth for William Shakespeare? Let's do some word-level analysis on the relationship between Macbeth and Banquo. In Act 2 Scene 1 Banquo says, all's well and this declarative sentence shows nothing has changed about him, his heart is still open to his friend Macbeth. The verb dreamed shows he's haunted by the witch's prophecies. Night is pathetic fallacy showing he feels like they have bad intentions. Thur and three is alliteration, it shows his deep mistrust of the witches but also importantly it shows that Banquo is still really honest with Macbeth. Yet Macbeth lies and says, I think not of them and this ties into the theme of reality and appearances, he is now beginning to lie to Banquo and misguide him. The alliteration of wee words shows that Macbeth is basically telling Banquo we should talk about the witches but actually he's lying to him, he's acting as if he's not that bothered about what they've said. When Banquo says he'll still keep my buzz and franchise and allegiance clear, this declarative sentence basically is him stating his loyalty to both Macbeth and Duncan. So whilst Macbeth is disloyal to his friend, Banquo stays loyal.
