They both have various similarities and differences and these comparisons say a great deal about both of their characters. Now, a key difference between Banquo and Macbeth is that Macbeth is already obviously a representation of the Machiavellian concept.

(“Two truths are told,/As happy prologues to the swelling act/Of the imperial theme.” I, iii, 26-29).

They would play practical jokes on the travelers, and this is what Hal encounters in his play. Many of these connections between all of the characters and Edwards life is a big part of the authorship debate, and it is what Oxfordians like to use when they are arguing over who wrote the works.

The way Edwards education was far superior to shakespeares, how he had connections to Queen elizabethan, and how his personal life connected to many characters from many plays are all very strong and valid proof that Edward de Vere is is the true author of the works from shakespeare, and not the man who just took credit for unbelievable stories, plays, and many
"Macbeth", one of William Shakespears most powerful and influential pieces of literature, and the basis of this argumentitive essay.

Macbeth a book and a play written by Shakespeare, it was a very good text to study and watch. There are many idea’s I have picked up from Macbeth, but the one which has got me interested the most was the theme/idea about ‘Greed’ and it’s side effects. This essay analyses how greed in Macbeth has challenged me to develop my ideas.
