However also include is an intimate conversation amid Barry and Sandra, exposing Barrys buy actions against Gerard and the other criminals.Throughout the scene, and indeed the rest of the play, cony presents tensions in different ways, whether it be through the wording use of the characters, the coordinate of their curses or even the coiffe directions. Perhaps the close prominent tension that hare has presented in this scene is in the affinity between Barry and Sandra. The pair find themselves alone within the police station and immediately the audience under stands that they are romanticistally involved, but are safekeeping it a secret. I do get tired of the secrecy. It makes the whole involvement seem silly.Assignations. Times and places. Its already been made clear that their human race is strained, with Barry describing it as if it was work. However, its through the quarrel of Sandra that the tensions between the two are made obvious to the audience. Dont you rather like that? , Hasnt it? , is that what you mean? . Sandras frequent questioning suggests annoyance with what Barrys saying, un able(p) to understand or accept his talk. Hare also uses sentence structure to express the tensions between the pair. How are you? Fine. I havent seen you. no(prenominal) Hare has use very short sentences to further demonstrate that the relationship is strained, with an awkwardness and hesitation in their communication. To add even more to this effect, Hare uses the stage directions to show just how tense it is. (She waits), (He waits a mom ent), (Theres a pause). Hare uses pauses and moments of silence to create an atmosphere where even the audience tint uncomfortable. However its not just awkwardness that Hare uses the stage directions to demonstrate, he also presents anger. (He is suddenly firm, as if his patience were worn overpower.This shows that Barry is obviously very annoyed with Sandra or perhaps himself, creating a very tense atmosphere. Since this scene includes of the policemen and women, Hare presents other tensions separate to Barry and Sandras relationship. For example, Hare develops on the audiences understanding that there is tension between the police force and how their profession works a message Hare has put forwards in several of the previous scenes. This is demonstrated immediately with Jimmys opening lyric. An officer on the beat witnesses, in reality witnesses, one crime every ten years.Jimmy is expressing his annoyance with the event that the police are unable to catch criminals, since th eyre stuck doing paper work most of the time. Hare also presented this issue through Barrys speech in Act 1 Scene 5. If you never made any arrests, youd all be out on the streets all the time, and capital of the United Kingdom would be so much better policed. This shows that they are obviously disturbed with how they must perform their duties, showing the tension between the police and their have got profession. This relates to the context of the play and the fact that at that time, the police force were weakness to act upon the vast majority of crimes.Hare also uses Jimmys speech to present the tensions between the police and the bench, a point which Hare demonstrates throughout the play. Theres maybe thirty-five cases. Most of them you havent got a chance. Jimmy is angered that the judiciary arent able to prosecute all these criminals with lots of evidence against them. Barry uses this argument to justify his corrupt actions against the Gerard and the other men, knowing he need ed some hard evidence. Youre allowed a way of doing things which is actually your own. Hare shows this tension between the two systems on the side of the judiciary in Act 2 Scene 2 with Sir mother fucker. Just imagine the scale of your problem if the police began to have some significant success. Hare has presented that both the judiciary and the police feel that the other side are the ones responsible for permit criminals go free. Hare also presents tension within the judiciary with the characters of Sir Peter and Cuddeford. In Act 1 Scene 2, Hare shows an obvious disceptation between the two as they discuss Sir Peters tuner appearance. Once again Hare uses short sentences to suggest annoyance and bitterness. No, Indeed, I see. Cuddeford is obviously uninterested or jealous so he uses brief responses to try to limit Sir Peters boasting. If fallible is how you wished to appearits none if my business. Cuddefords language is also used to present the competiveness and tension betw een them. Hare has used a variety of techniques to show many different forms of tension in Act 2 Scene 3 and the play as whole. The characters language is perhaps the most obvious clue when spying anger or annoyance, but its 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.
