-The Murder of Duncan commences but does not take place on stage for the audience to see. This creates a eeir of secrecy which is expected from Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. It also represents how Macbeth is changing from a courageous warrior to having to move in secrecy.
-The Act also involves the scene involving the porter. This scene serves as comic relief but also is quite a significant role in the play. The porter is a shakespearian fool has insight into the plot of the play. He predicts the deaths and resembles the castle of macbeth to hell.
- We see the use of nature to portray the disurpting of natural order. Animals of their own kind start to turn on eachother. This is a refrence to the Order of power followed in elizabeathan times.
Good, concise comments. Remember to focus on gothic elements.
