Macbeth and the Witches by Joseph Anton Koch

Alex Foxton (British, 1980), Ghost of Banquo, 2021. Oil on canvas, 130 x 97 cm.

Very simplistic and light-hearted (but also very honest) approach to the matter but Macbeth not being able to take a seat because of Banquo's ghost just appearing is one of the top moments EVER in literature for me, no matter how many times I read/watch Macbeth I will ALWAYS gasp bc of it. Maybe it's the fact that, for obvious reasons, the moment is put very plainly ("Enter the GHOST of BANQUO and sits in MACBETH's place"...if Macbeth were a novel, and I were the author, I'd put it just as plainly) , maybe it's the fact that the scene going on from there is absolutely striking and, on a certain degree, heart-wrenching, I don't know. But yes. Top moments from Macbeth for sure. One of my personal favourites by Will. I. Am Shakespeare.

sejanus plinth and coriolanus snow from tbosas are the direct parallels of banquo and macbeth in macbeth. in this essay i will

It’s been a while since I’ve actually had time to draw something but Banquo and his cat are back and his name is Gyb (short for Gilbert) 😌

Banquo propaganda

Casper propaganda

Macbeth is such a fake-ass bitch what the hell

Day 31: Ghost - Macbeth 🗡️🩸

The Ghost of Banquo by Théodore Chassériau

11TH-CENTURY ROYAL SCOTTISH BANQUET MUKBANG, THE GHOST OF MY BEST FRIEND I MURDERED SHOWED UP UNINVITED.

I thought the tolerate it blocking was familiar! Act 3, scene 4 in Macbeth is often staged almost exactly like this, with Banquo up on the table haunting Macbeth during the dinner party. Sometimes it’s Macbeth on the table with Banquo sitting motionless in his seat, sometimes they’re both up there. It’s like she’s haunting her killer, and he’s haunting her too.

most unhinged moments in act 1 of macbeth

lady macbeth using the MOST FUCKING UNHINGED METAPHOR (“if i made you a promise, even to KILL MY OWN BABY, i would do it even while breastfeeding because IM A GOOD PERSON WHO KEEPS HER WORD”)

macbeth telling lady macbeth that she’s so smart she should only have male children (“bear forth men-children only”)

the first witch saying “a sailor’s wife had chestnuts in her lap and munched and munched and munched. ‘give me,’ quoth i.” that’s ICONIC

banquo saying “you should be women, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so.”

banquo’s whole character. like what is he doing there?? he’s so silly

lady macbeth begging the spirits to take her period blood and clog up all her femininity so she can be cruel and kill people. also iconic

duncan being SO GULLIBLE he gets betrayed by not one but TWO people. duncan. come ON

banquo not-so-vaguely suggesting that he and macbeth got high and that’s why they saw witches

It's me . Girl who draws too much Macbeth, back again. Banquos quote at the end is from a tumblr post I don't remember btw

The banquet scene be like
