In which ways does Shakespeare build up a mood of tension and horror in the scenes? Essay

I think that Shakespeare built up a mood of tension and iniquity in the scenes by using particular scenes with a variety show of situation Will he? Wont he? which builds up the tension incredibly. Act I scene VII is the scene where Macbeth makes the decision even if not his own, that he will kill might Duncan. Though Macbeth wasnt ready for Lady Macbeths fury. She calls him a coward and mocks his masculinity,When you durst do it, then you were a manmentally beaten by his wife and persuaded by her mockery, Macbeth makes his makes his final verdict. This part creates tension in the form of Macbeths uncertainty. Act II, scene I starts off the horror and the tension, of the murder, by using that point in time as midnight. The witches havent just disturbed Macbeth, as Banquo grasps his sword whilst crossing the courtyard as he heard a noise. You can tell that Macbeth is distressed as he answers truly little to Banquo and it clearly shows when he leaves. When Macbeth hallucinates, seei ng a gummed label before him,A dagger of the mind, a false creationShakespeare increases the tension in this scene by using language that is full of references to blood and darkness,And on thy blade, and dungeon, gouts of blood,Which was not so before?The dagger goes then returns, but on its return Macbeth notices that it is of his own dagger covered in blood which increases the horror, the handle pointing towards his hand, inviting him towards King Duncans chamber. The dagger was basically giving him a step by step guide to committing regicide. Macbeths final words before regicide are very dramatic,I go, and it is doneThis creates images of what is about to come. Lady Macbeth goes and gets the scene ready for Macbeth by framing the guards, she drugs them and takes their daggers. In act II, scene II the murder of King Duncan takes give and fear and regret dominates the scene. Macbeth returns with the guards two daggers which he was meant to of left at the scene to frame the guards , this creates both tension and horror as the audition doesnt know if they will be found out. Lady Macbeth then takes control of the situation by taking them back herself. When she returns she is fuming and begins to call her husband a coward. But to add to the tension Macbeth cant wash the blood off his hands which shows regret and guilt Macbeth compares his hands to the seas of Neptune,Will all spacious Neptune Ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?Saying that his blood will turn Neptunes Ocean from common to red,The multitudinous seas incarnadine,Making the green one, redBut then Lady Macbeth tries to reassure him by sayingMy hands are of your colour but I shame to wear a heart so whiteThey hear knocking at a door so Lady Macbeth tells him to go and put on his night garment and forget what has just happened but it is easier said than done Macbeth believes that he is outside the Christian world as he couldnt say amen also that he will never sleep again because regicide is a sin. The knocking at the end of the scene creates suspense because it plays on the audiences fear of discovery.
