Critics sometimes suggest that the fourth acts of Shakespeare’s plays represent a letdown in dramatic tension between the rising action of the earlier acts and the culminating events of the fifth act. Write an essay in which you evaluate each of the three scenes in Act IV of The Tragedy of Macbeth for dramatic effectiveness and contribution to plot development.

The assignment wants to assess your reading and writing skills. For this reason, I cannot write your essay, but I will show you how to write it.

Essay structure

  • Introduction: Start with a short paragraph where you explain what literary tension is and how Shakespeare develops it in "Macbeth."

  • Body: Write three paragraphs. Each paragraph will analyze a scene from Act IV. In the first paragraph, highlights how the witch's power over Macbeth builds tension. In the second paragraph, highlight how the tension builds with the attack on the Macduff family. The third paragraph shows the tension in Macduff and how he represents a counterpoint to Macbeth.

  • Conclusion: Highlight the most important information from your essay and show your final resolution on how tension is built in this act.

You can show in your essay how Shakespeare developed the tension of the story using the fears and thoughts of the characters and how this was effective in making the reader feel tense along with the characters, as these fears and thoughts are very common to all people.
