What does Lady Macbeth think of Macbeth's castle?

Answer 1

Duncan admires Macbeth's castle when he arrives. He enjoys its "pleasant seat" and its nimble sweet recommendation by the air. Banquo proceeds to describe the castle and the delicate air. Lady MacBeth then arrives and assures Duncan she will do whatever he wants in order to make him comfortable. This happens while the reader or watcher of the play knows that MacBeth is planning on killing Duncan.

Answer 2

Duncan sees nothing at Dunsinane. The early part of Act 1 is usually marked as being at Forres, although the Folio gives no place names. In Act 1 Scene 4 Duncan says "from hence to Inverness and bind us further to you" to Macbeth. Therefore clearly Act 1 Scene 6, the next and last appearance of Duncan takes place at Inverness. Macbeth doesn't get to Dunsinane (which is near Dundee in a totally different part of the country) until Act 5, by which time Duncan is, of course, dead.

Duncan doesn't see much at Inverness either, apart from Lady Macbeth. He likes the smell, and Banquo thinks that it might be because there a lot of "temple-haunting martlet(s)" nesting there. That's a bird that nowadays we would call a swift.

Answer 3

Its not really relevant to the play, so Lady Macbeth never mentioned anything, but we can somewhat safely assume that she had nothing against it, or she might have raved about it somewhere in the play!

Answer 4

Lady Macbeth believes that Macbeth's castle is not built to house a king, as Macbeth lacks the strength and courage needed to be a successful ruler. She sees the castle as a symbol of their ambitions and is determined to do whatever it takes to make Macbeth king.
