Answer from: jwbri

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.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
