The purpose of the messenger is to add suspense. He seems to have sent himself. We really do not know much about the messenger, but his timing sucks. A suspicious person might say he was there to distract Lady Macduff for the murderers, because he literally walks in, walks out, and the murderers come in.

Scene 2 establishes the opposing idea of order and the related theme of orderly or honorable behavior. Duncan himself is established as a figurehead of order who honors the valor of the bleeding captain and, in two grand rhyming couplets at the end of the scene, pronounces his favor of Macbeth.

The messenger is someone who knows that Lady Macduff is a person of high position or honor (“in your state of honor I am perfect”) who delivers a desperate, though polite, warning. He says he is sorry for scaring Lady Macduff but he tells her that she should leave immediately.

The purpose is to show that Lady Macduff is a lot more worrisome compared to her son. It also shows that Macduff and his son have a more respectful, friend-like relationship; whereas Lady Macduff and her husband obviously have a more romantic, loving relationship.

The bell is a signal for Macbeth to move toward Duncan’s room and commit the murder, and it symbolizes the call to death, the summoning of King Duncan to his grave. This further supports that the bells are the call to death, in a more direct way, as the bell is being rung to announce Kind Duncan’s death.

In “The Tragedy of Macbeth”, by William Shakespeare, Scene III, Lines 65-67 the metaphor that MacDuff makes in these lines is “Approach the chamber, and destroy/your sight/With a new Gorgon.” Gorgon, in Greek mythology, are three sisters that have snakes for hair and have the power to turn he who looks at them into …

And with good reason. Flashbacks are a multi-functional technique for stepping outside your story’s timeline and sharing interesting and informative nuggets about your characters’ pasts. But just as they can be used to strengthen your story, they can even more easily cripple it. A flashback is basically a memory.

The 5 Rules of Writing Effective Flashbacks

1. Find a trigger to ignite a flashback. Think about when you are suddenly pulled into a memory.
2. Find a trigger to propel a return to the present.
3. Keep it brief.
4. Make sure the flashback advances the story.
5. Use flashbacks sparingly.

Flashbacks belong in the past. How you write it depends on the tense you’re using for the present events. Do write in past tense if you are writing in present tense. So, your words will go from “I walk” to “I walked” throughout the flashback only.

To include a flashback in present tense, a writer can use the simple past. In past tense, a writer has to use past perfect. Flashbacks are just less wordy in the present tense.

A section break is made by hitting enter to leave one blank line, centering three asterisks on the next line, hitting enter to leave another blank line, then hitting enter to type the next paragraph. A section break is used to indicate a complete scene break or a character point of view change.
