Banquo is a foil (paragraph)

Banquo is the perfect foil to Macbeth. A foil is a character that follows the same storyline as the protagonist but makes different choices. Both Banquo and Macbeth are Thanes at the beginning of the story, they are also both coming back from war. They are both greeted by the witches and are given prophecies, this is when the first choice is made. Macbeth decides that he must make the prophecy a reality while Banquo waits for the prophecy to come. Also Banquo questions the witches while Macbeth believes what he heard almost immediately. But Banquo goes through the same story path as Macbeth.
