To add even more to this effect, Hare uses the put directions to show just how filtrate it is. ‘(She waits)’, ‘(He waits a moment)’, ‘( there’s a pause)’. Hare uses pauses and moments of silence to create an tune where even the audience feel uncomfortable. However it’s not just awkwardness that Hare uses the demonstrate directions to demonstrate, he also presents wrath. ‘(He is suddenly firm, as if his patience were worn down’.This shows that Barry is on the face of it very get to with Sandra or maybe himself, creating a very tense atmosphere. Since this scene includes of the policemen and women, Hare presents other tensions separate to Barry and Sandra’s relationship. For example, Hare develops on the audience’s judgment that there is tension between the police ram and how their profession w orks; a message Hare has put forwards in several of the preliminary scenes. This is demonstrated immediately with lever’s fountain speech. â€Å"An officer on the beat witnesses, rattling witnesses, one crime every ten years”.Jimmy is expressing his annoyance with the fact that the police are unable to snap criminals, since they’re stuck doing paper work most of the time. Hare also presented this issue through Barry’s speech in Act 1 Scene 5. â€Å"If you neer made any arrests, you’d all be out on the streets all the time, and London would be so much better policed”. This shows that they are obviously unhappy with how they must perform their duties, showing the tension between the police and their own profession.

Cuddeford is obviously dulled or jealous so he uses sketch responses to try to limit Sir Peter’s boasting. If ‘ light’ is how you wished to appear…it’s none if my business”. Cuddeford’s language is also used to present the competiveness and tension between them. Hare has used a categorization of techniques to show many different forms of tension in Act 2 Scene 3 and the play as whole. The character’s language is perhaps the most obvious clue when spotting anger or annoyance, but it’s through stage directions and sentence structure that Hare fully demonstrates tension; whether it be of a romantic nature with Barry and Sandra, an ignorance with the police and the judiciary, or the rivalry between Cuddeford and Sir Peter.\r\n'
