b/c King Duncan is remarking how lovely refreshing and full of life Macbeth's castle is. In fact, it is a place where his own murder has been planned and agreed upon; it is, in fact,a place that is dark with evil. And in a few hours he will be asleep and stabbed in night's darkness.

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.
