Macbeth &Banquo comparison?

One thing that comes to mind after being in the show for a four week run is a possible pointing to Macbeth and Banquo, Malcom, Macduff, etc.. Macbeth is seen to be the new king who will restore order to Scotland, or 'fair' but it turns out he's really 'foul' with his murder of Duncan and Banquo. In Macbeth's eyes, Banquo, Malcolm, Macduff, etc. are considered 'foul' in Macbeth's eyes, but really turn out to be the ones who were more fitted to rule Scotland. That may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I hope it helps!
