When Banquo is killed by the murderers that were sent by Macbeth one of the murderers comes back to Banquo and tells him that Fleance had gotten away, but they had killed Banquo. Macbeth killed Banquo because he found out that Banquo's children would be heirs to the throw instead of Macbeth's children.
When The murderer tells Macbeth that Fleance got away Macbeth notices some blood on The murderer's face and says "'Tis better thee without than he within." This means that Macbeth is saying that it's better that Banquo's blood is on you than it being your own blood coming out of you. I think this is foreshadowing Macbeth's death because Macbeth is saying it's better to be alive than dead.

Squid, this was very detailed and gave a good summary of the things taking place before the quote. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteSquid, that is a great interpretation. I thought that he meant it was better for Banquo's blood to be on him than Banquo still having blood.
ReplyDeleteSquid, I think you understood that very well. I like how your blog is a whole 2 paragraph! Keep up the good work!
