It is ironic becuase he only killed them to make it look like they had done it. After that he realizes that was a big mistake as everyone doens't seem as positive as he does that the guards actually commited the crime.

Where was Duncan's murder supposed to take place in 'Macbeth'?

In the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', the murder of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] was supposed to take place in the Macbeths' home at Inverness Castle. Macbeth and his wife planned to murder their sovereign when he and his two royal guards would be most defenseless and vulnerable. He had made the journey from his palace at Forres, to Inverness. He had to get up early the next day to leave with Macduff and Lennox. He was tired, had just eaten his dinner, and was getting ready for bed in the rooms that the Macbeths had fixed up for him. Lady Macbeth had given his two royal chamberlains drugged drinks. The killing went as planned. The King and the guards were stabbed to death. When the bloodied corpses were discovered the next morning, the crime scene looked exactly the way that the Macbeths intended it to. It looked as though the guards had killed their sovereign and then each other in a fit of crazed drinking and drugging.

Why is the fact that a carnival takes place in the streets above the murder ironic in the cask of amontillado?

The fact that a carnival is taking place during the murder in "The Cask of Amontillado" is ironic because carnivals are typically associated with celebration, joy, and revelry, while the murder that occurs beneath it is dark, sinister, and vengeful. The stark contrast between the festive atmosphere above and the heinous act happening below adds to the overall unsettling and ironic tone of the story.
