In Act 3 Scene 1 of Romeo & Juliet, Shakespeare raises the excitement and the tension throughout the scene by using dramatic tension between the characters, provocative and threatening dialogue, strong language effects, and sharp vital violence. The scene begins with Benvolio and Mercutio coming on to stage, with Benvolio suggesting they should go home in case they meet the Capulets and the violence ensues. “The day is hot, the Capels are abroad, And if we meet we shall not scape a brawl, for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.” This pathetic fallacy and strong image of mad blood creates an expectation in the audience of violent events to come. This expectation seems to be met fulfilled quickly

The scene starts off with Benvolio and Mercutio on a beach with the sky clear and the day hot, while that in mind you can perceive the mood of the story would be peaceful like the day, but that perception would be wrong. “For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.”(III. i. 4). Along with the hot, sunny day, tension is already being recorded and noted while the characters know that blood is going to be spilled today. From that, the cold blood and hatred felt before Tybalt enters the scene, is foreshadowing how the negativity is going to effect this perfectly hot and sunny day. As soon as Tybalt walks upon the beach it starts to get windy causing many bystanders to leave their place at the beach so it would just be the two, Mercutio and Tybalt, fighting a gun war per say to show how one of them could easily defeat the other. They talk bad to one another continuously until the triumphed Romeo appears on the scene. While the weather stays the same, Mercutio receives his temper and shows his irritation once Romeo starts trying to show love rather than attempt to fight this evil Capulet. Once Mercutio has had enough of Tybalt bashing on his best friend, he tries to fight Tybalt to restore Romeo’s dignity, but ends up dying for his best friend in this horrific gun battle. As soon as Romeo realizes his friend just got shot, the day's sky turns to night and the suspending storm suddenly approaches and Romeo is left in the cold night’s rain with his dead friend. Romeo realizes that he needs revenge for his best friend’s death, so he shoots Tybalt. Once Tybalt’s lifeless body has hit the ground, a sudden storm approaches. The storm was added in to intensify the scene in a way words possibly could not. The movie producer of this film wanted to not only focus on the scripting of the film, but rather what was

Act 3 Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet is set on a street in Verona. Benvolio and Mercutio are walking in the streets. Benvolio tries to convince Mercutio to go home because there are Capulet’s in the streets, and actions will surely be reckless. Mercutio responds by comparing Benvolio to a violent man who denies that he is, who fights when no fight is called “Thou are like one of these fellows that, when he enters the confines of a tavern, claps me his sword upon the table and says ‘God send me no need of thee!’ and by the operation of the second cup draws him on the drawer, when indeed there is no need.” (pg 114) Mercutio continues to tell Benvolio that he is easily provoked and that he is feisty, in hopes to rile Benvolio up. Tybalt and others

In Act 3, Mercutio and Benvolio are out walking in Verona. Benvolio asks Mercutio to go inside before an incident like before happens again with the Capulet. Mercutio tells him to stop criticizing others and that not all Capulet are going to want to start a fight. Tybalt then enters the scene. Tybalt approaches the two Montague men and asks to speak with one of them. Mercutio, not very happy with Tybalt speaking to them, starts to mess with him. Romeo enters next. Tybalt starts talking to Romeo and calls him a villain. Romeo tries to keep peace with Tybalt as he asks Romeo to draw his sword. Mercutio decides to fight Tybalt since Romeo does not want to. The two men fight. Romeo interferes and tries to stop the fight. In doing so, Tybalt was able to get under Romeo’s arm and stab Mercutio, killing him. Before passing, Mercutio curses both families and Tybalt runs off. Romeo wants revenge on Tybalt. When Tybalt comes back, Romeo draws his sword and the two of them fight. Romeo ends up killing Tybalt and Benvolio tells him to leave the scene before many people start to notice. The prince enters the scene. Benvolio explains what happened. He also explains that Romeo was trying to keep peace, but Lady Capulet thinks he is lying. Prince decides to exile Romeo from Verona instead of giving death as a punishment.

At the beginning of act 1, scene 2 the conversation between Tybalt and Lord Capulet shows the hate for each other's families. Tybalt talks about how Romeo is at the party to ruin their night. “A villain, that is hither come in spite to scorn at our solemnity this night.” (act 1, scene 5, lines 64-65) Tybalt hates Romeo because he is a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague, that is basically the only reason. Also in in the first scene, the fight, shows that a fight can break out from people of each house just seeing each other and talking because of the amount of hate. The family feud started this fight scene, which in return of them getting caught in this fight caused Romeo to be banished after the next big fight scene. Also in this quote from Tybalt shows his hate for the Montagues. “I hate the word as I hate hell, Montagues, and thee.”(act 1, scene 1, lines 71-72) Because Tybalt hates the Montagues he wants revenge on Romeo for coming to the Capulets party. This revenge Mercutio's and His own death. Which in the long run kills Romeo and juliet because of Tybalt's death and Romeo's

William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy demonstrates the adversities that challenge ‘a pair of star-crossed lovers’ (Prologue, Line 6). While unchangeable fate fueled the outcome of the capricious events, one character allowed it an effortless journey. It is Lord Capulet who is irrefutably responsible for the demise of Romeo and Juliet. His belligerent, aloof and impulsive nature contributed to the culmination of the play.
