I.1 - The main Gothic element in this scene would be the weather, the stage direction 'Thunder and lightning, Enter three Witches' - this then allows the audience to feel and see a Gothic atmosphere. Going back to elements of Gothic literature and witches, This act can almost certainly be seen as a Gothic opening.
I.2 - I don't feel this scene is particularly Gothic but the talk of war and associating subjects slowly Carry's on the Gothic genre but doesn't add to much. This allows the audience to stay focused on the play but not forget the type of literature.
I.3 - This scene goes back the the Gothic weather and starts to add more of the the witches - The witches then give their prophesy and starts the bulk of the play and the Gothic lit behind it.
Yes, the weather and the supernatural are strong gothic elements here. Also, consider ambition.
