Detailed explanation-1: -A porter hears knocking at the gate of Macbeth’s castle. It’s Macduff and Lennox, who have come to rouse Duncan. Macbeth arrives and tells them the king is still sleeping. Macduff heads off to wake the king, and promptly returns, screaming bloody murder.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macduff exits to wake Duncan, then returns to announce Duncan’s murder. Macbeth and Lennox go to see for themselves. When they return, Lennox announces that Duncan’s servants are the murderers. Macbeth reveals that he has slain the servants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lennox mentions that the night has been unruly (line 51). The lamentations (wailings) heard suggest that all of nature is in turmoil due to the king’s murder. We are reminded that the Jacobeans believed in a divine order. This order was decided by God, who they believed was ultimately in control of the universe.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth shows Macduff to Duncan’s chambers, where he uncovers the horrible murder. They sound alarms which wake all the sleeping thanes and Lady Macbeth. Lennox tells Duncan’s sons that their father has been murdered by his guards, and Macbeth explains that he killed the guards out of ‘fury’.
