In this scene Banquo, Duncan and others arrived at Macbeth’s castle. Both Banquo and Duncan admired the castle. Lady Macbeth welcomed them to her home. This is dramatic irony because her true intentions are not welcoming at all, however only the audience knows this. Duncan and Banquo are unaware of what she wishes to do to them.
