The word "tomorrow" in Act 3 Scene 1 line 36 reminds of Act 1 Scene 4 when Macbeth says Duncan will leave their castle "tomorrow," and Lady Macbeth responds "O never shall sun that morrow see." It also foreshadows a trio of "Tomorrows" in Act 5 scene 5.

"To be thus is nothing /But to be safely thus.

The word nothing appears many times in Macbeth, most importantly in the voice of Macbeth himself.  It often has an existential/religious meaning. Existential means concerned with ephemeral existence. It implies a fear of death, the absence of God as we have seen over and over. Macbeth feels alone in the world ....so he obsesses over the nothings in his life such as his absence of an heir, Banquo's desire to go riding with his son Fleance, Macduff's reluctance to pay him the fealty due a king.

about Banquo's son he says "Fleance, his son, that keeps him company--Whose absence is no less material to me" -- interesting choice of words -- how can something absent be material?

We have scorched the snake, not killed it.
She’ll close and be herself whilst our poor malice
Remains in danger of her former tooth.
But let the frame of things disjoint, both the worlds
suffer,
Ere we will eat our meal in fear, and sleep
In the affliction of these terrible dreams
That shake us nightly. Better be with the dead,
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,
Than on the torture of the mind to lie
In restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave.
After life’s fitful fever he sleeps well.
Treason has done his worst; nor steel nor poison,
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing
Can touch him further.

Ay, in the catalogue you go for men,/ As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs,/ Shoughs, water-rugs, and demi-wolves are clept/ All by the name of dogs. The valued file/ Distinguishes the swift, the slow, the subtle,/ The housekeeper, the hunter, every one/ According to the gift which bounteous nature/ Hath in him closed; whereby he does receive/ Particular addition, from the bill/ That writes them all alike. And so of men./ Now, if you have a station in the file,/ Not i’ th’ worst rank of manhood, say ’t,/ And I will put that business in your bosoms/ Whose execution takes your enemy off,/ Grapples you to the heart and love of us,/ Who wear our health but sickly in his life,/ Which in his death were perfect.

they talk about the honor of Banquo's presence and his absence and Macbeth is so haunted and beside himself with guilt he is absent from his own feast. "your noble friends do lack you."

"I do forget. / Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends. I have a strange infirmity which is nothing/ to those who know me......interesting phrase "strange infirmity which is nothing" what does it imply? in what way is nothing a strange infirmity?
