The King arrives at the marvel that is Macbeths castle is greeted with hollow warm arms by Lady Macbeth. It is a short scene but it has a lot of dramatic irony embedded into it, we know Lady Macbeths true treasonous intentions however the king and all of his loyal subjects are unaware of the kings impending doom and instead focus on the lovely castle.
“And his great love, sharp as his spur, hath holp him, to his home before us. Fair and noble hostess, We are your guest tonight.”
You’re doing a great job of keeping track of some of the key events, language effects and dramatic techniques in Macbeth so far. It is particularly useful to see you note the dramatic irony in Act 1, Scene 6 – which without this undertone feels rather empty as a scene.
