Answer:
A rising tension that gradually fades.
Explanation:
The beginning of the essay is a strong sentence that keeps adding elements of suspense as it develops, eventually making the sentence overloaded with information (especially considering that it is the first sentence of the essay). Nevertheless, the entire sentence seems to describe a single action.

Allusion. Shakespeare references prominent characters in Roman mythology.
