In Act 2, Scene 2, Shakespeare uses tension and dramatic interest to illustrate how Macbeth, with Lady Macbeth influencing him to do so, commits the murder of King Duncan and the aftermath Shakespeare's language helps create this theatrical framework in the scene preceding with Macbeth's soliloquy about the darkness in the "black night", and the evil he associates with it prepares the audience for the crime scene. In this scene, the audience knows that what Macbeth is doing is wrong and that he will suffer terrible consequences, but there is something inside each of us that pushes them forward out of fascination or pushes them to stop. Shakespeare helps create this feeling with the previous scene, which creates the right atmosphere. When Lady Macbeth is alone waiting at the beginning of the scene, she is very tense. Shakespeare helps create this tension by making the character of Lady Macbeth completely alone and waiting. She is tense to hear anything because she wants to know if Macbeth did the deed and is hesitant because he wasn't sure before. As he thinks something has gone wrong, tension builds as we wonder what will happen next. Will they be caught or not? The audience will want to know what happened, so they will be invested in the show and will look forward to knowing what really happened. In the middle of Lady Macbeth's first speech, an owl hoot is heard. This is a bird of the night and the "fatal "bellboy" who rang the bell before the execution. He refers to this to Macbeth as he bids Duncan a "severe goodnight", as did the bellboy at a funeral. The owl it is a bird of prey because of its harsh sounds and because of its relationship with murder:...... middle of paper ......ne because it was the best time for light, while now there is l 'electricity so the light we are not used to. So everything had to be explained in the drama of the show, as there were no backdrops or many props. This is the main reason why Shakespeare has to tone down his language, for convey the image to the audience so that they can understand without those around them what is happening. Shakespeare creates tension and dramatic interest in this whole scene and he does it in many different ways through language. In my opinion he does it very well involves the audience within the show. During this we saw how Lady Macbeth and Macbeth react in different ways and learned more about their characters. This is the most important scene of the play and is clearly told and well explained.
