Why did you pretend to be so friendly to Banquo’s face? Did you feel guilty about this at all? If not, why not? Are you still thinking about the witches? Do you think Banquo’s predictions will come true? Why is Banquo such a threat to you? Why did you get the two murderers? Why don’t you just commit murder again yourself?

Banquo’s diary: Things to include: What suspicions do you have against Macbeth? How do you think he became king? Do you hope your predictions from the witches will come true? Why? Why did you act in a friendly way to Macbeth’s face when deep down you think he has played foully to be king?
