At Jakes Door
The Porter in the play "Macbeth" knocks at the gate to let Macduff and Lennox into Macbeth's castle after Duncan's murder.
Macduff and Lennox. They were supposed to arrive early in the morning and wake up the king. Unfortunately everyone in the castle had partied to late at night and they are all sleeping in, so Macduff and Lennox have to bang on the door.
Macduff was first to find out about the murders of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and the two royal guards. He stopped by the Macbeths' home at Inverness Castle. He previously had arranged with the King to pick him up and accompany him to the next stop on the royal journey. The nobleman Lennox was with him. But only Macduff went to Duncan's room. There, he found bloodied corpses and bloodied crime scenes.
Well everybody, of course. But on the morning after Duncan's murder (at which time the Porter was suffering from a huge hangover) he let in Macduff and Lennox.
Macduff and Lennox appeared at Inverness Castle, which was Macbeth's home. Macduff indicated that the King had wanted him to stop by early. Macbeth led Macduff to the room where the King was staying. But only Macduff went inside. Macduff therefore was first to discover the murdered King Duncan.
Macduff castle is located on the shore of the firth of Forth below the village of east wemyss
The morning after the fatal stabbings of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and his two royal guards, the noblemen Lennox and Macduff knocked at the gate to Inverness Castle. They were admitted by the porter, to get the King up and moving on to the next stop on his royal journey. Specifically Macduff had been charged with the responsibility of the King's timely departure from his overnight lodgings. Macduff was shown the way to the guest rooms. And so it was he who first discovered the bloodied evidence of Macbeth's [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] inhospitality to his guest and disrespect to his sovereign.
Lennox tells Macbeth that he saw the witches vanish after delivering their prophecies, leaving him startled and amazed. He also informs Macbeth that Ross is within the castle and will soon be able to provide more information.
The forest outside Macbeth's castle is called Birnam Wood.
In Act 2 Scene 3 of the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', the noblemen Lennox and Macduff came to get King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] started on his way home or to the next stop on his trip. Macduff went on to the room where the King had spent the night in Inverness Castle. While he was waiting, Lennox began talking to Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] about the previous night's weather. Lennox said that there were sounds of death and sorrow, and strong winds. The significance was the affront to the earth by rough weather and by the heinous killings of the sovereign and his two royal guards.
macduff
Macduff is in England and away from his family because his beloved Scotland is suffering. Everywhere he looks, people are being murdered and nature is rebelling against the leadership of the country. He has suspected all along that Macbeth is responsible for Duncan's death since he does not go to Macbeth's coronation, nor does he attend the banquet the Macbeths host for the nobles. Macduff goes to England to convince Malcolm to return to Scotland with help from English forces to dethrone the evil Macbeth and restore peace and safety once again to the citizens of Scotland.
