Explanation:
This question is about Macbeth. Where the porter scene refers to the moment when he makes a joke about him he is guarding the gates of hell.

The porter also says that he is opening the gates for the soldiers who "carousing till the second c**k" this alludes to the c**k that sang when Peter denied and betrayed Christ three times, foreshadowing the betrayal that Macbeth would do to King Duncan.
