Act:1 // Scene:6

In this text at the beginning Duncan and Banquo when talking about Macbeths castle state that it very desirable. They convey this information by saying how good the air smells around it. “Smells wooingly here” says Banquo describing the air around the castle. Duncan says “This castle hath a pleasant seat” meaning that he feels comfortable around the castle and then yet again says that the air around the castle is pleasent by saying “the air Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself Unto our gentle senses.” I think that Duncan and Banquo say all this to show the audience or readers the good vibes that they feel around the castle before even entering into it. I feel like this really contrasts to the general felling of the play witch is very dramatic and dark.
