Abstract-Macbeth by Shakespeare is rich in paradox not only in language styles but also in characterization. Banquo in Macbeth is a good example. Banquo fights with Macbeth against disloyal traitor and he helps Macbeth step by step to kill the king. At the same time, he has great influence on Macbeth's criminal psychology and it is he who to some degree leads to Macbeth's downfall, so Banquo is a paradox, a conspirator with Macbeth and a murderer of Macbeth.
