this excerpt from act scene VI, of Macbeth, Duncan praises the atmosphere in the castle and the hospitality of his hostess. Identify two reasons
that these comments are ironic.
DUNCAN:
This castle hath a pleasant seat: the air
Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle sense.
(Enter Lady Macbeth.)
DUNCAN:
See, see, our honour'd hostess!-
The love that follows us sometime is our trouble,
Which still we thank as love. Herein I teach you
How you shall bid God ild us for your pains,
And thank us for your trouble.
He will meet his death in the castle, which he considers a pleasant place
His praise for inverness and his hostess, Lady Macbeth, is deceptive.
- Duncan secretty plans to give Macbeth's title to Donalbain
The hostess he praises is actually plotting his murder.
