Thomas De Quincey’s essay On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth is one of the best known of his critical works-it appears in most anthologies of criticism and nineteenth-century prose, and is hailed it as “the finest romantic criticism.” “On the knocking at the Gate in Macbeth” was first published in the London Magazine in October, 1823, as an item in De Quincey’s series of “Notes from the Pocket-Book of a Late Opium-Eater.” Although he was then thirty-eight, his paper was one of his earliest critical articles and, since he had been engaged in introducing German authors to the English public, almost his first on English literature. read more.Analysis of Thomas De Quincey’s On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbethīy NASRULLAH MAMBROL on Novem He is no doubt one of the best writers of all time.

After I read the story I felt hat the title was quite appropriate because the way she killed him was rather cruel. I hope you won't blame me too much."

Later when I learnt of Mary's real personality I was shocked that she was able to commit murder. "This is going to be a bit of a shock to you, I'm afraid," he said. He lifted his glass and drained it in one swallow." When he tells her of what I think is him planning on leaving her I began to think of him as a horrible man.
