The Porter Scene (act 2 scene 3) in Macbeth is associated with Macbeth himself. According to F. B. Tromly, the three sinners (a farmer, an equivocator, an English tailor ) whom the Porter admits to the gates of Hell are to be understood “as metaphors for Macbeth himself,” because each of them “encapsulates various aspects of Macbeth’s crime and suggests his inevitable punishment.” The Porter of the gate of hell reminds us of the spiritual consequences of the murder that has just been committed. In the play, Macbeth is an equivocator who committed treason and the liar who cannot “equivocate to heaven.” The Witches are also characters who equivocate in their revealing of prophecy to Macbeth. It is obvious that equivocation is related to characters and to the theme of appearance and reality. This paper investigates the function and significance of the Porter scene. It analyzes the Porter’s language and its thematic content and tries to demonstrate its relevance to the rest of the play. The historical allusions to equivocation in the Porter scene will be discussed in relation to the Gunpowder Plot and Father Garnet, and then, equivocators in the play, such as the Witches and Macbeth, will be investigated with special reference to their thematic significance.
