Macbeth is quite literally haunted by his actions. However, once we pass the climax and enter the falling action Macbeth’s speech patterns begin to change. We can therefore say that these types of reference and a metered speech rhythm are typical of Macbeth during the rising action and demonstrate his focused ambition. This time it is rhymed iambic pentameter. The semantic field of violence links to the recurring symbol of blood throughout the play, and to the themes of violence and betrayalĮarlier in the rising action we also see him make reference to vision and violence through his “black and deep desires” which he must not let “light see”. The concept of vision is a recurring motif in Macbeth and reflects the themes of prophecy, and secrets. It contains multiple references to vision, “eye”, “invisible”, “light”, and a lexical set, or semantic field, of violence and death, “bloody”, “tear to pieces”, “night’s black agents”, “crow”, “prey”. Macbeth’s speech is written mainly in blank verse and ends with two couplets and a line of prose. Here we will apply a little of our AO3 knowledge of language, form and structure. The final moments before the climax are a conversation between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth which ends with Macbeth. Similar to Romeo and Juliet the Climax of Macbeth is a death. Now we shall look at the dramatic structure of Macbeth the play and the character development of Macbeth the character. Secondly, the modal auxiliary “must” refers to the level of need. This is accurate in two ways.įirstly it is “others” who control his “black fate” during the falling action he is “exile” by the Prince, made part of Juliet and Friar Laurence’s plans without being told about them, the victim of Balthazar’s enthusiasm to keep him informed, and the victim of a quarantined house in Mantua. The idea that “others must” end the woe demonstrates the idea that Romeo is not in control of his own destiny. Romeo’s response to the death of Mercutio also foreshadows the events which lead up to the denouement and his death. This means that we could consider Mercutio as foreshadowing the deaths of these three characters. In Romeo and Juliet we see the death of both first born children – Romeo, and Juliet, and the Capulet heir apparent Tybalt. According to the bible God sent a plague which killed every first born son in Egypt. Our AO3 knowledge of context tells us that one of the most famous plagues is from the bible. The comedy dies at the climax when he dies and puts “a plague” on both houses. Throughout the exposition and rising action there is a lot of comedy provided by Mercutio. As you can see everything centres around the killing of Tybalt and Mercutio in Act 3 Scene 1. This is the dramatic structure of Romeo and Juliet. And the denouement is the result of everything which has happened since the exposition.

The falling action is a series of events which lead to the denouement. The climax is the turning point of the story. The rising action is where things begin to create complications. One way to easily refer to different sections of the play is to use Freytag’s Pyramid of dramatic structure. We will start by thinking about good use of quotations and links between separate areas of the play. Let us begin with Romeo and Juliet as our text. The details and quotations used to demonstrate knowledge of the text in work parallel with the context, language, form and structure of the play found in assessment objective 2 and assessment objective 3 to create the sensitive and informed response required by assessment objective 4. Quotations must be relevant and concise, and it is crucial not to re-tell plot points as it wastes valuable time and energy in exams. Knowledge of the content of the text is relatively easy to demonstrate what often trips candidates up is the way they demonstrate that knowledge. Assessment objective 1 requires candidates to show detailed knowledge of their text and support it with appropriate references. To do this we are going to look at two of Shakespeare’s tragedies. In this video we will look at some useful tips for demonstrating knowledge of the text in a concise way, and then look at textual elements in greater detail. Using quotations correctly demonstrates that we know the text and makes our points clear. One fateful day, however, they are both called upon to take up the miraculous in defense of Paris, because Ladybug and Chat Noir may be retired, but Hawk Moth is back.Knowing the text in detail is key to unlocking its meanings. Manon Chamack lives a relatively quiet life in Paris with her mother, while her school bully Chris Lahiffe lives off of his older brother’s relative fame. It’s been nearly ten years since Hawk Moth was defeated, and Ladybug and Chat Noir have rarely been spotted since then.
