Act Three Scene Five of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

Juliet’s parents’ lack of knowledge of their daughter’s love life contributes to her death. In Act 3 Scene 5 Lady Capulet walks in on Juliet crying and assumes the tears are for her deceased cousin Tybalt. Shakespeare uses dramatic irony while Lady Capulet and Juliet speak about Romeo. Juliet says to her mother “Indeed, I shall never be satisfied / With Romeo, till I behold him –dead” The reader knows, while Lady Capulet is unaware, that Juliet is speaking about him in a loving way rather than wishing him dead. Also in this scene Lady and Lord Capulet tell Juliet that they have arranged for her to marry Paris. When Juliet refuses her father yells at her and accuses her of being ungrateful. The Capulets are not aware that Juliet is already married therefore are not understanding of her wishes to

The relationship shown in Act 3 Scene 5 between Juliet and Lady Capulet is portrayed as poor. Lady Capulet is shown as a very distant mother, though this is to be expected when there is a Nurse taking care of the child from the early stages of the child’s life.

In Act 5, Scene 3 (part 1) in Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Romeo goes to Juliet’s tomb to find closure within his true love, but is confronted by Paris who is also saying his goodbyes. Ultimately, all of them end up dying, but Romeo and Juliet end up taking their lives as an act for love and to ensure that they will be together forever. Romeo launches into an emotional soliloquy before he takes his life, which justifies the rash decision he ends up making. The power of love is prevailed throughout the whole scene when it comes to the characters. Also the drastic contrast between Romeo and Paris in this scene presented through foiling, shines a light on the extreme changes Romeo endures through the scene’s events. The powerful love that overcame Romeo for Juliet, and the emotional heartbreak he goes through when she is presumed dead, makes the death of both of them all the more justified in their eyes.

JULIET: OMG you always make me mad. I am sick of you making me go to my cousin’s house especially when I dislike them. Mum, tell dad that I will NOT go. I would rather have my hair cut off rather than go to their place they always play pranks and bully me. I never want to go there EVER !!!!

Act 3:5:152-157 is a piece of the play that captures the turning point that Capulet has caused Juliet to kill herself. With Capulet calling her ugly, selfish, unthankful and baggage she must have been hurt by those words and wanted to run away with Romeo. With this feeling, she then creates a big plan to do just that but with every big plan, it went wrong and the two ended up dying for each other. All and all, Capulets force of marriage and reaction to Juliet saying no, indirectly made Romeo and Juliet kill themselves because of the amount of pain that he caused Juliet to have.

There are a number of points and specific aspects to Act 3 scene 1 of

Lord Capulet is the father to Juliet and Uncle to Tybalt. Lord Capulet has been looking for a suitable groom for his young Juliet. He had chosen Count Paris. Knowing that Juliet knew nothing of Count paris, he decided to throw a party so that they may get to know each other. Lord Capulet told Paris that his daughter was to young and that he would marry Juliet in two years. :Act 1 Scene 1( My child is yet a stranger to the world. She hath not seen the change of fourteen years. Let two summers wither in their pride Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.) With the death Tybalt, Lord Capulet noticed that his daughter was filled with sadness and decide to rush the wedding. But what he did not know is that young Juliet was filled with grief because of Romeo’s banishment. Joyfully, Capulet comes to tell Juliet the good news. Juliet’s rebellious self tells his father that if she is to marry anyone, it will be Romeo. Angered by this Lord Capulet yells at his daughter, wishing her dead. Lady Capulet wasn’t happy with this either. Act three Scene Five( If you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend. If not, hang, beg, starve, die on the streets, for my soul, I’ll never do thee good.) If Juliet had not been threatened by her furious father, she wouldn't have had thought of ending her

Shakespeare presents Juliet’s relationship with her mother as, in some ways, mandatory; As if the only reason they are actually talking is due to the death of Tybalt, and there is no actual want to be connected. We see this through Juliet’s capability of lying and deceiving her mother easily, without showing any remorse or guilt by doing so. “I cannot choose but ever weep the friend.” This shows how easily Juliet can lie to her mother, by using her words carefully, she has made it so that her mother will think she is talking about Tybalt when in fact she is referring to Romeo. Moreover, Juliet chose to use the word “friend” to describe who she was talking about as opposed to cousin, so that she can still be talking about Romeo, while Lady Capulet can continue to make the assumption that Juliet is actually talking about Tybalt without any difficulties.

one knows that this is the last time that Romeo and Juliet will be in

(1.5.152-153). What may be just a simple crush, has become a idolatry for her. For Juliet to have a successful, happy, and mature relationship she herself must mature and acknowledge the responsibilities. One valuable quality that Juliet has is her resilience. Even after discovering that her beloved Romeo is the only son of her enemy, she doesn’t forget him and stays committed to him.

When Juliet has a conversation with her mother she displays dramatic irony. Juliet states “Villain and he be many miles asunder. God Pardon him I do, with all my heart; And yet no man like he doth grieve my heart” (3.5.81-83). Lady Capulet understands Juliet words different from how she intended to say them. Lady Capulet thinks that Romeo has caused Juliet terrible grief by killing Tybalt, but Juliet is really grieving over Romeo who has been banished and therefore that's what breaking her heart. The audience knows that Juliet is grieving for Romeo, but her mother doesn’t. Because Lord Capulet has no idea of Juliet and Romeo, she assumes that she is willing to marry Paris. Juliet disagrees marriage with Paris and her parents become infuriated. Lord Capulet reaction is extraordinary. He yells at her, he curses her, he calls her names, and he vows to disown her if she doesn’t marry. Juliet being trapped she goes to Friar Laurence for guidance. Juliet’s plan is to fake her death, so she can run away with Romeo. Friar helps her and gives Juliet a potion to drink that puts her in a sleep-like

Romeo and Juliet include a lot of tragic and dreadful scenes. One scene that stands out the most is Act 3, Scene 5. In this scene, Shakespeare makes the audience feel sorry for Juliet. How so? Capulet turns outrageous about Juliet disagreeing to the marriage that he has organized for her. Romeo and Juliet have just wed but the next day she finds out that she is arranged to marry Paris. Romeo has been banished from the land and she weeps his banishment. Her mother (Lady Capulet) thinks she weeping about her beloved Tybalt death. Lady Capulet then tells Juliet the happy news that she is to marry Paris on Thursday. Juliet is shocked and tells her mother that she cannot be married in such rush. Her father arrives expecting Juliet to be excited

Act 1 scene 4 of Romeo and Juliet starts with Romeo, Mercutio, Benvolio, and other members of the Montague household. The Montague men are venturing to Capulet’s house for the formal dinner they were invited to by the illiterate servant, Peter. Despite of Benvolio’s constant encouragement, Romeo is still in a gloomy mood because of his love life and refuses to participate in the party’s happening. When the men insist that Romeo dance at the party, Romeo he states that “I have soles of lead so stakes me to the ground I cannot move.” (pg. 48). This scene introduces us to Mercutio who is Romeo’s best friend. Mercutio’s witty personality is highlighted multiple times during scene including when his response to Romeo’s refusal to dance, “You are

A brief overview of the events taking place in act 5, scene 3 from lines 135-180 were quite compelling and moving as a reader.
