Among the most-famous essays of the 19th century is Thomas De Quinceyâs âOn the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth.â
In it, he ponders the meaning and dramatic effect of that strange incident. He first sets the stage:
âFrom my boyish days I had always felt a great perplexity on one point in Macbeth. It was this: the knocking at the gate, which succeeds to the murder of Duncan, produced to my feelings an effect for which I never could account. The effect was, that it reflected back upon the murderer a peculiar awfulness and a depth of solemnity; yet, however obstinately I endeavored with my understanding to comprehend this, for many years I never could see why it should produce such an effect.
