Shakespeare builds tension in the play by having the witches mysteriously appear and dissapear. Through dramatic irony he is giving the audience more information about the witches then the characters. They are thinking whether to trust the witches or not, but we already know that they shouldn’t.

Answer:

The witches in Shakespeare's "Macbeth" create tension by making predictions about the future, which keeps the audience interested. Besides, they represent the supernatural world, since people in those times believed in curses and witches. Thus, they have the power to appear and disappear, as well as to look real, although they are not. Finally, they speculate with the Macbeth and the audience's dismay, as they are as dark, fearful and horrible as the protagonist's soul.

valkas [14]

Answer:

A. Man vs. Man - Carol and Brandi race for the gold medal.

B. Man vs. Self - Miguel struggles with feelings of guilt.

C. Man vs. Nature - Farmers experience a terrible drought.

D. Man vs. Higher power - Jonah is corrected by God.

E. Man vs. Society - Reverend Mundo protests Sunday sporting events.

Explanation:

The various forms of types of conflicts that are to be found in any narrative may be between man and nature, man with man, with self or even with the society. All these conflicts may also show the battle that the individual has to get through in order to move on with his life.

The types of conflicts along with the plot are as follows-

1. Man vs. man is seen in the competition between Carol and Brandi in their effort to get the gold medal. This competition to secure the better goal is a conflict of interest of the two persons involved.

2. Man vs. Self is seen in Miguel who is struggling with feeling guilty. This type of conflict deals with an individual and his inner emotions and feelings, a form of inner conflict within the persona and involves no other external identity.

3. Man vs. Nature is found in the farmers and the drought that had destroyed their crops. The farmers are in conflict with the terrible drought, a force of nature. Thus, it is a form of man and nature in conflict.

4. Man vs. Higher power is a form of conflict between an individual and some higher power, in this case God. God is the ever powerful entity over all, thus when Jonah disobeyed God, he gets corrected. This is a type of man vs. higher conflict.

5. Man vs. Society is shown when there is a conflict between an individual and the society he lives in. Thus, when Rev. Mundo protests against the sporting event that occurs on a Sunday, he is in conflict with the society. This conflict is based on the differences in interest.
