In the tragedy of Macbeth, Act III, what does Macbeth tell the two murderers to persuade them to kill Banquo?
Answer:
In Act III of Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth,” Macbeth persuades the two murderers to kill Banquo by convincing them that Banquo is their enemy. Macbeth leads the murderers to believe that Banquo is the root of all their problems and that by eliminating him, they will be securing a better future for themselves. Macbeth manipulates the murderers by falsely painting Banquo as a threat to their well-being and future. Macbeth’s persuasive tactics involve appealing to the murderers’ desire for revenge and portraying Banquo as a hindrance to their ambitions. Ultimately, Macbeth succeeds in manipulating the two murderers into carrying out the murderous act against Banquo to eliminate what he perceives as a threat to his own reign.
