In what way is Banquo a foil to Macbeth and why does Shakespeare do this?

English
1 answer:
Alborosie4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Banquo definitely serves as a foil to Macbeth in Shakespeare's Macbeth.   Macbeth is predicted to become king, while Banquo is predicted to be the father of many kings.   In other words, his heirs will be kings. Macbeth embarks on a destructive run of murders in order to first be crowned kind, and then to hold on to the thrown.

Explanation:

Macbeth embarks on a destructive run of murders in order to first be crowned kind, and then to hold on to the thrown.  He is obsessed with ambition.

Banquo on the other hand finds the idea of having his heirs rule Scotland attractive, but does not take steps of any kind to make it happen.  He is not obsessed by ambition.

Both face similar situations, but Banquo handles the situation as it should be handled, while Macbeth does not.

Write an essay in which you take a position on whether or not the penny should be preserved
Phoenix [80]
Here’s an idea on what you can write.

Today, there’s literally nothing you can buy with a single penny – and you can’t do much else with it either. Vending machines don’t accept them, and neither do most parking meters. Even automatic toll booths won’t take them – except in Illinois, the home state of President Abraham Lincoln, whose face adorns the coin.

Pennies cannot buy what they used to back in the day any more pennies are practically worthless. I personally do not believe that the penny should be preserved just because it holds no initial value anymore. Back in the day you were able to buy bubble gum or candy for Penny and it was a big part of a price back in the day. But nothing is a penny anymore and the penny has lost its value. The only thing that the penny would be valued for is Abraham Lincoln on it. Because it was a big part of the US history with Abe Lincoln. Maybe one penny could be preserved for a history site. But other than that it should not even be in circulation anymore because it has no value it has no worth. Because of this I do not believe the penny should be preserved. It just doesn’t have the value that it used to back in the 1980s or even further than that money has took in a revelation many different times and now in 2020 we are looking at making everything electronica so at that point there will be no value in pennies or dollars or anything at that point. And that is my point of view on why the penny should not be preserved.
