The language in the play Macbeth has a large effect on the tension created because Shakespeare has use different techniques such as similes, metaphors and personification. This has not only created tension but has also hook the reader

because it makes it sound more interesting. Shakespeare has succesfully used great language techniques in the line “Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives, ” is talking about the murder is wearing away his courage to follow through and the techniques being used are paradox ( or oxymoron ) and a hyperbole. another quote from Macbeth would be “With Tarquin’s ravishing strides, towards his design Moves like a ghost,” which means he wants to move like Tarquin, as quiet as a ghost and that is also a similie (Tarquin was a Roman prince who sneaked into a Roman wife’s bedroom in the middle of the night and raped her).

Task 1

The rich gets poorer and so does the poor because of tax and of the earnings of the people but the rates and the speed of the 2 is different the richer guy will become poorer slower and the poorer guy gets more poorer faster, that is why economy is unfair. Also uneven developments affects economy negatively.

In  Macbeth there are many ways Shakespeare creates tension throughout the play such as dramatic irony, soliloquies and the language. The first technique is dramatic irony is when the audience knows something the characters do not. One good example is when Macbeth sees the witches for the first time and is not sure whether to trust them, but the audience know that a few scenes back  a sailors wife was eating chestnuts and one of the witches asked for the she replied “Aroint thee, witch!” therefore the witch cursed her husband and his crew to never sleep again neither day nor night, then they died at see because of there lack of sleep. Macbeth not knowing this trusted the witches and suffered. Another way dramatic irony is shown is the death of king Duncan because the audience knows Macbeth killed him but the other characters  blamed Malcom and Donalbain.

Another technique are the soloilaquies which creates tension by showing the character personal feelings about something that has recently happened. There are many soloilaquies in the play, Macbeth, some are more powerful than others because of the language and quality of it, but I’ll come back to that. The soloilaquies that are most powerful are the ones which lead to something bigger, for example the death of king Duncan.”Is this a dagger which I see before me,The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation,Proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain?I see thee yet, in form as palpable. As this which now I draw.Thou marshall’st me the way that I was going,And such an instrument I was to use.Mine eyes are made the fools o’ th’ other senses,Or else worth all the rest. I see thee still,And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,Which was not so before. There’s no such thing.It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. Now o’er the one half-world Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse The curtained sleep. Witchcraft celebrates Pale Hecate’s offerings, and withered murder,Alarumed by his sentinel, the wolf, Whose howl’s his watch, thus with his stealthy pace,With Tarquin’s ravishing strides, towards his design Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth,Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear Thy very stones prate of my whereabout, And take the present horror from the time,Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives.Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives.I go, and it is done. The bell invites me.Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven or to hell.” is in my opinion the most important solilaquy and part because of this Mcabeth wouldnt of had the courage to kill king Duncan therefore he wouldnt be king and a tyrant. Also in the soloiaquies in the play Shakespeare has managed to give each of them a different mood.

The language in the play Macbeth has a large effect on the tension created because Shakespeare has use different techniques such as similes, metaphors and personification.

Also Shakespeare , after seeing the play a few times, felt like there was something missing and decided to add an extra scene, act 3 scene 5. This also creates tension because in the scene Hecate, the witch queen, is telling of the witches for messing with Macbeths mind without her and her authority therefore  she is angry. “Saucy and overbold, how did you dare to trade and traffic with Macbeth,In riddles and affairs of death,” this gives you the impression she is mad because they gave Macbeth  riddles and prophecies about his future without telling her. another quote to show her angriness at the witches would be “Have I not reason, beldams as you are?” because she is say “Don’t I have a reason to be angry, you disobedient hags?”

Shakespere has created t

In conclusion we can all say that Shakespeare has succesfully demonstrated that in play Macbeth to create tension he has used dramatic irony, soloilaquies and language techniques. He has also manage to maintain multiple moods for each character per scene. That is why I think Shakespeare is a writing genious.

in this scene the English troops are outside Dunsinane castle and are ready for war against the tyrant “Macbeth” and is getting A bit cocky ( is the nicest way I could say it ) and is getting ready for war.

Macbeth has become more blood thirsty and agressive witch has therefore caused him the urge to get everything the witches said not think about anyone and has got back at him by making him mad, when Banquo ghost comes

In act 3 scene 5 the leader of the witches is speaking to there goddess ,Hecate , and she is angry at the witches because the have meddled with his mind witch causes him to kill his friends. A quote to prove her anger “How did you dare to trade and traffic with Macbeth in riddles and affairs of death”

Shakespeare has decided to use figurative language and descriptive language to show Macbeths guilt.

Guilt is acknowledging a crime or a harmful action while remorse regretting the actions and taking steps to undo damage.

In this scene lady Macbeth and Macbeth are talking about the assassination of Banquo but now Macbeth is the more bloodthirsty and lady Macbeth is more cautious. A quote to prove this “gentle my lord.”
