In the beginning of scene 3, the Porter pretends to let people who have done wrong things for personal gain into the gates of "hell". What is the purpose of the porter in Act 2?

The goal of the porter is to serve as an alert to the reader that something terrible is going to happen in the castle.

Explanation:

When the porter refers to hell, he warns the reader that something big and so terrible is going to happen that can be compared to hell and all the wickedness and agony that this place symbolizes. This situation is the murder of the king in cold blood and the ususpation and persecution that the murderer will provoke, as well as all the mental lack of control and emotional exhaustion that will be presented during the narrative.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

peace, morning, sun glooming, sorrow, woe pardon’d, punished, more hence, talk, story. all of these three words have to do something with a depressed, regretful tone. woe is another word for misery, heartache, so all of these words are about unhappy feelings.
