Detailed explanation-1: -Whay does Duncan mean by “There’s no art / To find the mind’s construction in the face"? Duncan means that you cannot see through to what a man is thinking just by looking at his face; there’s no way of telling what’s in a man’s mind.
Detailed explanation-2: -Key quotations: Duncan Key quotation: He was a gentleman in whom I built / An absolute trust (I. 4.14–15). Duncan is saying that he had complete trust in the Thane of Cawdor. This is a warning to the audience that Macbeth, the new Thane of Cawdor, will also rebel against Duncan’s rule.
Detailed explanation-3: -The king clearly sees Macbeth as a potential successor: “I have begun to plant thee, and will labour / To make thee full of growing” (28-29). The metaphor is continued by Banquo, who promises the king that, if he too is allowed to grow in the king’s favor, he will dedicate “the harvest” to Duncan.
