Macbeth's resentment and fear of Banquo is due to his...

• "royalty of nature"
• "dauntless temper"
• "wisdom that doth guide his valor"

• Macbeth only became king because of his great speaking ability; I have no hope to become king.
• Macbeth will kill me before my son becomes king; I must be careful and watch him.
• The witches were right about Macbeth (even if he cheated to get the crown); surely they must be right about me, too.
• The witches are only trying to lure me with hope; I will go speak with them to make sure they're truthful.
