Act Two: Scene Three
-

themes
Duty and honour / manhood, genders and their stereotypes- Macduff doesn't believe that Lady Macbeth is strong enough to hear that the king is dead, All of the other thanes are very sad that their king is dead respecting his honour
supernatural/witchcraft- Duncan dying contradicts the divine right of kings, this would unnerve a Jacobean audience as well as the other characters in the play, proven by Macduff
-
Dramatic techniques
Dramatic irony- the audience knows that Macbeth is responsible for the murder, and watch him lie to cover his tracks
Porter compares Macbeth's castle to hell, which is ironic as he doesn't know there have been any murders yet
Language techniques
Rule of three- Macduff repeats horror three times to amplify his grief and to gain the other's attention
