Due to his friendship with Banquo, the guilt and mental anguish Macbeth suffers is more pronounced, causing irrational thoughts and actions. Banquo represents the good personal qualities Macbeth formerly held. When Macbeth sees his ghost, he realizes he can no longer identify with that side of himself, leaving him unable to escape his demise.
