I like tha dramatic irony in Act 1 scene 6 is interesting. As King Duncan and Banquo near Macbeth's castle, Duncan thinks the air is gentle and sweet,
"This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air
Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle senses. "
Of course we already know that Macbeth and his wife are planning to kill him.
