Fate: The equivocators in the aforementioned passage were destined to go to hell through their deeds and actions was manifest that it was inevitable they would go to Hell's gates. A possible allusion for the downfall of Macbeth with his malevolent and overzealous actions.
Ambition: Macbeth: the epitome of overzealous.  The state of being overzealous is preceded by state of ambition, which is the direct downfall of the prophesied ruler Macbeth

Shakespeare is alluding to the fact that a lot of people would be going to hell. (In a comical way)

Hell represents evil and suffering. Although the Porter isn't aware of it, but the random things he is saying actually have a lot of truth within them.
Macbeth's castle = Hell
Macbeth = The Devil

-Irony: the audience knows that Macbeth just killed the king, while the Porter does not.
- Comic Relief: "If a man were porter of hell-gate, he should have old turning the key"
- Repetition: knocking, crimes (theme of play)
- Metaphor: "I pray you, remember the porter" (Line 19). = remember me and my soliloquy.
Pun: bonefire = bonfire

The scene takes place right after Macbeth and his wife kill the King. It was after a banquet, at which there was partying and drinking. Therefore, although Macbeth knew of the extreme crime he was committing, the Porter was very drunk and rambles along in this humorous speech.

Knocking within. Enter a Porter

Porter

Here's a knocking indeed! If a

man were porter of hell-gate, he should have

old turning the key.

Knocking within

Knock,

knock, knock! Who's there, i' the name of

Beelzebub? Here's a farmer, that hanged

himself on the expectation of plenty: come in

time; have napkins enow about you; here

you'll sweat for't.

Knocking within

Knock,

knock! Who's there, in the other devil's

name? Faith, here's an equivocator, that could

swear in both the scales against either scale;

who committed treason enough for God's sake,

yet could not equivocate to heaven: O, come

in, equivocator.

Knocking within

Knock,

knock, knock! Who's there? Faith, here's an

English tailor come hither, for stealing out of

a French hose: come in, tailor; here you may

roast your goose.

Knocking within

Knock,

knock; never at quiet! What are you? But

this place is too cold for hell. I'll devil-porter

it no further: I had thought to have let in

some of all professions that go the primrose

way to the everlasting bonfire.

Knocking within

Anon, anon! I pray you, remember the porter.

Opens the gate.

He hears a lot of knocking, likening his job to that of the gatekeeper of hell, joking around that this much knocking would be heard by him as well.

The Porter exclaims "who's there? What in the devil's name!" He imagines a farmer, coming just in time, to whom he gives handkerchief.

Next, the Porter imagines being visited by an equivocator (a person who speaks ambiguously or doesn't tell the whole truth). He is saying this man is a liar and is treasonous. One cannot lie to God.

Then, the Porter thinks he encounters an English tailor. He thinks he skimps on his material, substituting cheap clothing for expensive. He thinks he also is an equivocator.

He feels the place is too cold, and thus can't be hell. He bids farewell to his time there.
