Duncan quotes

• "More is thy due than more than all can pay"


  Nothing he can give macbeth that would be recompense for the service he has offered
• "O valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman!"


  Macbeth has royal lineage

  Dramatic irony

  Doesn't learn form his mistakes

  Macbeth is another one of duncans untrusted thanes

  Betrayal repeats itself
• "What he hath lost, noble macbeth hath won"


  Encapsulates the central themes of ambition, fate and Betrayal

  Foreshadows tragic events that will unfold

  Macbeth has gained what the thane of Cawdor just lost

  Ironic
