 * What happens in your scene?**

The scene begins with Porter drunk. He pretends like he is a gate-keeper of the hell. Macduff comes in and asks him why he is drunk. When the next day comes people find out the Duncan is murdered. They guessed that the King was murdered by the two guards because there were blood on their hands. When they lady Macbeth enters she becomes shocked (pretend). Donaldbain and Malcom flees to Ireland because they fear being accused of the murder.


 * What do you think are the key purposes of your scene? In other words, why is this scene important?**

This scene was important because not only the King died but Macbeth and Lady Macbeth crossed a river they cannot go back. This was the first assassination that occurred in the book but due to this event lots of other murders occurs. Also due to this event Macbeth and Lady Macbeth suffers by seeing hallucination of King Duncan and ghosts.


 * What are your reactions to this scene?**

Due to the prophecy I was able to predict that King was going to be murdered but the part I was surprised was when Lady Macbeth fell from shock. It surprised me how a human can act that well in order to fulfill their desire. Also at the beginning of the script Porter talked about the Hell and thought himself as a gate keeper of the hell. He also indirected stated that one who commits crime should go to hell which would be Macbeth.

In this scene my Characters were Macbeth and Malcolm. In this scene Macbeth's goal was to make others think that he was not part of the murder. Instead his goal was to make himself look like he was in great sorrow because of death of Duncan. For Malcolm it was different.

From this scene we can learn lots of things about Macbeth and Malcolm. Macbeth goes acts out himself being in deep sorrow to fool the other people in the castle. He also states that he will get the assassinations and kill them as well. I was surprised to see how one can act so naturally for their greed. In this scene we can observe Malcolm's disrespect towards his King and the nation. He feels very unsafe being in the castle because he can be accused to. Therefore he flees to other nation for his own life.
