Long Answer

1. She views women as weak. When Lady Macbeth desires power, she says, “Come, you spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, / And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full / Of direst cruelty!” (Act I, Scene 4). She believes she needs to be less like a woman to reach for power. She, herself, wields power, as evident by her influence over Macbeth, but she feels she must do so separately from her female sex, likely due to the strict gender roles of the time.

2. Both Banquo and Macbeth have ambition. They both start as loyal to the king, fighting in his army.
