Analyzing Macbeth's "The Porter Scene"
"The Porter Scene" in Macbeth can be analyzed beyond mere comic relief. I have employed an excerpt from On the Knocking At the Gate In Macbeth by Thomas DeQuincey that appears in several high school textbooks, identified two key quotations, and used these quotations as a springboard for students to Close-Read and to apply a Personal Response critical lens to this scene. I recommend this in-class discussion as a group post-reading activity or a pre-writing brainstorm.
