What is the dramatic irony in Duncan's gift to Lady Macbeth?
"This castle hath a pleasant seat. The air sweetly and nimbly commends itself to our senses." What a nice house! (But he doesn't know he will die because of going there.)"Herein I teach you how you shall bid God'ild you for your pains, and thank us for your trouble." Duncan has basically said, "The party is at Macbeth's place in Inverness!" without consulting the Macbeths first. Now the Macbeths are put to the trouble of hosting the party. But it will be no trouble, says Duncan, it will be worth it. Well, that is what Lady Macbeth is thinking, but not for the reasons Duncan thinks.

How did the prophcecies in Macbeth come true?
The three witches' predictions came true, for Banquo and for Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057]. For Banquo, the witches predicted that he wouldn't lead as fortunate or powerful a life as Macbeth. He didn't receive anything from King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] for having fought as bravely as his friend and fellow General Macbeth against invading Norwegians and treacherous Scotsmen. He didn't lead a charmed life, because he was killed by three murderers who had been hired by Macbeth. But the witches had said that Banquo's family line ultimately would occupy the Scottish throne for generations. According to legend, Banquo's son Fleance escaped to Wales, to marry Nesta verch Gruffydd, the daughter of Gruffydd ap Llywelan [c. 1007-August 5, 1063], the last native Prince of Wales; and Aldgyth/Edith [d. after 1070], who took as her second husband, King Harold II [c. 1022-October 14, 1066] of England. Aldgyth was the daughter of Aelfgar [d. c. 1062], Earl of Mercia; and the granddaughter of Leofric [d. August 31 or September 30, 1057], Earl of Mercia and husband of Godgifu [fl. 1040-1080], who became known throughout history as Lady Godiva. Considering that her background mixed with royalty, Nesta's family tree was preserved better than most. And according to genealogical and historical records, Nesta was married only once, to Osbern FitzRichard. Supposedly, she and Fleance had a son, Walter, who went back to Scotland. There he became the Royal Steward to the Kings. Eventually, he married into the line and supposedly became the ancestor of the contemporary of William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616], King James [June 19, 1566-March 27, 1625] I of England and Ireland and VI of Scotland. But, once again, neither the existence nor the impact of Banquo and his son Fleance appeared to be born out in genealogical and historical records. Likewise did the witches' predictions come true for Macbeth. He already was Thane of Glamis. He became Thane of Cawdor with the execution of the disgraced previous title holder and with the assignment of title and possessions to him. He also became King of Scotland. But the witches predicted that Macbeth's rule would be secure as long as Birnam Wood didn't move to Dunsinane Castle, and as long as he didn't come across any man not born of woman. The subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] had his combined forces of Englishmen and Scotsmen pluck and carry boughs from Birnam Wood. The effect was of a moving forest. The man whom Malcolm had approved for the murder of Macbeth was Macduff, who had been delivered by Caesarian section from a dead mother. It could be said that he hadn't been born of a woman. And the witches rightly had warned Macbeth to beware of Macduff.

How does act four use references to the supernural to show that the two kings edward and Macbeth are different?
In the middle of Act IV Scene 3 a doctor enters and Malcolm asks him if there are people waiting to be healed by the English King (Edward the Confessor). Malcolm explains to Macduff that King Edward can heal people, and in order to do it "solicits heaven", and says "holy prayers". He also "hath a heavenly gift of prophecy." This comes shortly after Scene 1 where the witches, who also have a gift of prophecy, have been consulted by Macbeth. Macbeth goes to get prophecies, Edward issues them. There is also a contrast between the pious King Edward and Macbeth who has shown no signs of piety (or impiety for that matter).
