Its a dramatic relief as it rpovides comic relief to the
audience after much tragic occurence in the play. The audience has experienced a lot of
emotions and characters deaths. The porter scene allows the audience to, infact, get
distracted from the tragic events that have occured frequently. The poter scene is
important also because it allows the characters to change or take a break in between.
The characters have been on stage for some time and to allow them to change or to take a
break in between the porter scene has been added by Shakespeare. It is extremely
important because it causes the play to move forward. Time is used in this part of the
play. Shakespeare chooses to use reasonable time to allow characters to perform
reasonably on stage. Nothing is without reason.
The porter
scene laso caters to the audience which were from a lower class during that era. The
comic element is present for them as well. Moreover, the language is not in poetry hence
allowing the lower class people to quickly and easily understand the porter. But the
porter scene plays an important role as comic relief for all the audience after much
dramatic effects have occured in the play.
