Detailed explanation-1: -What Duncan means by this is that there is no way to tell what a man is like–what his character is–by looking at his face. When Duncan says “there is no art” he means “there is no way.” When he refers to a “man’s construction” he means the man’s character.
Detailed explanation-2: -Duncan trusted Cawdor and believed him to be a gentleman. Duncan states: “There’s no art / To find the mind’s construction in the face” What does this mean? Duncan means that there is no way of knowing what someone is thinking just by looking at him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Duncan greets Macbeth by saying, “There’s no art Find the mind’s construction in the face". How does this reflect the fair is foul theme? He is referring to his inability to trust the Thane of Cawdor. It ties into the theme because it shows that “looks can be deceiving".
Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth declares that he no longer intends to kill Duncan. Lady Macbeth, outraged, calls him a coward and questions his manhood: “When you durst do it, ” she says, “then you were a man” (1.7.49).
