What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o’ th’ milk of human kindness

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more.

He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.
(Speaking of the traitorous first Thane of Cawdor)

DUNCAN
Fair and noble hostess, we are your guest to-night.
(Whoever fair is mentioned it’s dramatic irony because it signals bad things are coming)
