In this summary I do believe something that has stood out from this is Dramatic Irony. Meaning that the audience know things that the actors themselves don’t know. Like when King Duncan entered the castle, Lady Macbeth knew this was her time to take a chance to pour words into Macbeth’s ear to get him the right to become king, having King Duncan unaware of the situation. To this standard Dramatic Irony starts to build within this very scene, even though apart form scene 5 (Summary from last time) Lady Macbeth knew that Macbeth didn’t have the integrity or the strength to be king. It was truly Lady Macbeth is the real air behind the throne instead of Macbeth, then it makes sense to me that when King Duncan says that “To his home before us. Fair and noble hostess, We are your guest to-night.” Meaning that King Duncan has such taste for Macbeth’s lovely castle that he insists to stay. Unlike Lady Macbeth, who wants King Duncan dead.

You’re doing a great job of keeping track of some of the key events, language effects and dramatic techniques in Macbeth so far. Great to see you note the dramatic irony in Act 1, Scene 6 – which otherwise feels rather empty as a scene.
