In Act 2, Scene 2, Shakespeare uses tension and dramatic interest to illustrate how Macbeth, with Lady Macbeth egging him on, commits the murder of King Duncan and its aftermath. Shakespeare's language helps create this theatrical image in the preceding scene with Macbeth's soliloquy about the darkness in the "dark night", and the evil he associates with it prepares the audience for the murder scene. In this scene, the audience knows that what Macbeth is doing is wrong and that they will suffer terrible consequences, but there is something in everyone that either propels them through fascination or compels them to stop. Shakespeare helps create this feeling with the preceding scene, which creates the right atmosphere. When Lady Macbeth waits alone 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 strains to hear anything, because she wants to know if Macbeth did the deed and is hesitant because he wasn't sure before. As she thinks something is wrong, tension builds because we wonder what will happen next. Will they be caught or not? The audience will want to know what happened, so they will become involved in the play and eager to learn what really happened. In the middle of Lady Macbeth's first speech, there is a cry of an owl. It is a bird of the night and the "fatal hunter" who rang before the execution. She refers to Macbeth as he gives the "stern hello" to Duncan, just like the hunter at a funeral .The owl is a bird of prey because of its harsh sounds and its connection to killing:...... middle of paper ......ne because it was the best time for light, then. that now there is electricity so light is not a habit for everyone. For the audience, everything then had to be explained in the drama of the play, because there were no sets. nor many props This is the main reason why Shakespeare has to tone down his language, to convey the image to the audience so that they can understand without the environment what is happening Shakespeare creates the tension and dramatic interest. throughout this scene and does it in different ways through drama and language In my opinion he does it very well and involves the audience in the play. 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 in the play and is done clearly and well explained..
