he does not want the climax of the story, the murder of king Duncan, to be revealed so he can show how the characters figure out the steps of his murder.
That is about right, Shakespeare wanted to keep the murder undiscirptive and off stage because he didn't want to give the climax away so there is actually something to look forward to in one of his plays..
Shakespeare did not describe the murder because he wanted the audience to figure out what happened and keep the play suspenseful. In my opinion, he also did this because he wanted the audience to realize that Macbeth actually had remorse, and describing the brutality of it would send a message that Macbeth was a person that enjoyed gore and the thrill of killing.
I think Shakespeare did that on purpose to mirror the idea that Macbeth would have a blind eye to his own actions. He didn't put the murder of king Duncan in because Macbeth doesn't want to remember it or have anything to do with it
I think that Shakespeare wanted the audience to have their own vision of Macbeth. Wether it be a gruesome murder that he enjoyed or a quick stab that he only did because lady Macbeth convinced him to.
Shakespeare probably did not describe the scene because he wanted the audience to guess what might have happened to not give away the climax of Macbeth.

ReplyDeleteHe did not describe the murder in detail so the reader like everyone else in the story can put pieces together to figure out what happened.
ReplyDeletehe did this to leave the killing to the imagination of the audience.... or because its back when CGI isn't invented so they couldn't fake it on stage

ReplyDeleteThe murder scene is not shown because plays in Shakespeare's time were more about dialogue than about the action.

ReplyDeleteExactly what Will said. Macbeth doesn't want that in his head so Shakespeare show's that by not showing what happened.
ReplyDeleteSo the reader could feel the suspence of who really killed Duncan.
ReplyDeleteHe wanted the audience to be able to have some say in the play. Use there imagination to some extent.
