Act 1, scene 1
The exposition
Since Shakespeare’s stage had no central curtain and few stage props,
the exposition reveals the setting (time and place) and sometimes
highlights a theme; it has the important function of providing the
appropriate mood and atmosphere for the play.
Macbeth glossary
Mood – mood is referred to as the atmosphere of a literary piece, as it
creates an emotional setting that surrounds the readers. Mood is
developed in a literary piece through various methods, including
setting, theme, tone, and diction.

Tone - is an attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience. Tone is


generally conveyed through the choice of words, or the viewpoint of a
writer on a particular subject
