Few critics would agree with Coleridge that the soliloquy with which the porter-scene begins was, apart from one obviously Shakespearean phrase, “that go the primrose way to the everlasting bonfire, interpolated by the players. The Porter – scene is an integral part of the play in all the aspects, theatrical, dramatic, thematic and linguistic. The words are written in the antithetical style, provokes, - unprovokes, desire-performance, which is the predominant characteristic in the general style of the play like fair-foul, foul-fair, lessen than Macbeth yet greater etc.
