The Porter came up in a Macbeth exam question in 2019 despite having only a few lines in the play, and yet he is an integral character, acting as comic relief and also having a deeper symbolic meaning. In this detailed lesson we explore how and why Shakespeare presented The Porter and how the character links to the Gunpowder Plot and King James I. A fantastic lesson for students of any of the exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and EDUQAS and will help students get ready for English Literature exams.
