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 two to three paragraphs 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.

moreover, the plot of a drama is simpler than that of other literary kinds. the dramatist, in the two or three hours granted him, must select the most important incidents — called dramatic moments — in the career of his hero and bring them to the front, leaving to his audience to fill in by his suggestions what takes place in the intervals. thus the reign of macbeth, according to the chronology followed by shakespeare, covered seventeen years. shakespeare, in making a drama out of it, brushed aside many events, confining himself to those which bore some relation to the assassination of duncan; and even of these, he could not present all. the main dramatic moments of the play are macbeth's temptation by the witches, his subsequent meeting with his wife, the murder of duncan, the murder of ban quo, the appearance of the ghost, the slaughter of lady macduff and her son, and the death grapple between macbeth and macduff. what comes between them is in the way of explaining how these events happen.
