Romeo And Juliet Act 3 Scene 1 Analysis

Since the fathers from both families dislike each other, they have caused death in the young lovers' lives because of many disputes. According to Document C, “The feud has caused deaths between Tybalt and Mercutio.” Tybalt is Juliet’s cousin and Mercutio is Romeo’s friend. Due to Mercutio's pun-filled language and tough personality, he starts the brawl between himself and Tybalt. While Mercutio is dying, he sends

Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film, Romeo + Juliet effectively appropriates the Shakespearean 16th century love tragedy. So why has Luhrmann decided to appropriate Romeo and Juliet? By changing the context, Luhrmann effectively makes the play relevant, discussing his contextual concerns of the 1990’s. This is done through the use of themes in the film, love, family disputes and hate which have remained similar to the original play, although the way they have been presented are different, in particular the form and characters. The form has had an obvious change as the original play has been adapted into a film. Characters in the film have also been appropriated to correspond with Luhrmann's contextual concerns. Hence, Luhrmann successfully appropriates the original Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet by maintaining similar themes, but altering the form and characterisation to fit his contextual concerns.

When Tybalt comes to the square, Mercutio tells Tybalt to “pluck your sword out of your pilcher” (3.1.77). Mercutio, out of pity for Romeo, challenges Tybalt to a duel because when Romeo doesn't fight it taints his pride and his brand as a man. Mercutio is fighting Tybalt, but Romeo doesn't want his future cousin in law to get hurt so he and benvolio step in to stop the fight. While Mercutio is fighting Tybalt, Mercutio falls saying “I was hurt under your arm” (3.1.100-101). This makes Romeo furious, so mad that he says he is acting on his emotions not on common sense. Out of grief and out of revenge Romeo slays Tybalt, and when the Prince comes Romeo gets banished. As you can see Mercutio sacrificing his own life for Romeos pride adds to the tension in between these two families and leads to the deaths of Romeo, Juliet and

Additionally, after Romeo’s marriage with Juliet he gets in the middle of a fight. If Romeo did not engage in the brawl between Mercutio his best friend and Tybalt his opposing rival, they would still have a fair chance at survival. Mercutio engages in a fight with Tybalt on Romeo’s behalf because Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt, since Tybalt is now Romeo’s cousin-in-law. In addition, Romeo attempts to break up the progressive fight, but his actions are futile. Furthermore, Romeo getting among Mercutio and Tybalt does more harm than good because Mercutio dies. The only explanation of how Mercutio dies is that Tybalt is able to pierce Mercutio’s chest under Romeo’s arm. Romeo blocks Mercutio’s view, leaving him defenseless and feeble.

Romeo and Juliet is a timeless, classic love story written by the incomparable William Shakespeare. Many of Shakespeare’s works are considered literary classics, but none are more loved than Romeo and Juliet. This play masterfully tells the love story of two teenagers in Elizabethan England. The title characters Romeo and Juliet are members of two feuding families, Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. There are different stylistic ways of portraying Romeo and Juliet, and the two most popular film versions portray two very different styles of this one play.

Analysis of Act 3 Scene 5 in Romeo and Juliet In this scene we see Juliet loose the closeness of all the people she loves: first Romeo who has departed after spending the wedding night with her; secondly by her father who viciously turns on her when she refuses to marry Paris; thirdly by her mother who declares ‘I have done with thee’ when Juliet begs her for help in delaying the proposed marriage to Paris; and lastly by the Nurse whom she tearfully turns to as a last resort for advice and help. Furthermore, we see, for the first time in the play, Juliet disobey her parents, and develop into a mature young lady capable of making her own decisions. After having spent the night with her new

Secondly Tybalt sends a decree for a fight and he kills Mercutio. This is shown by “I will not budge for no man’s pleasure, I”. This reveals that Mercutio wants to have a fight with Tybalt. Tybalt wants to have a fight with Romeo the most but Mercutio gets in the way. Mercutio feels that he must stand by the Montague’s. He feels he needs to be a true Montague and fight. Romeo retaliates and kills Tybalt in anger and revenge for his friend. This is apparent in the line “Either thou or I, or both, must go with him. This conveys that Romeo felt he had to get revenge for Mercutio but he really didn’t mean to kill Tybalt and couldn’t believe that he’d actually done it.

Romeo and Tybalt fight each other and they exchange a conversation in which they say,” Now, Tybalt, take the ‘villain’ back again that late thou gavest me; for Mercutio’s soul is but a little way above our heads, staying for thine to keep him company: either thou, or I, or both, must go with him. Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here, shalt with him hence. This shall determine that. [They fight; Tybalt falls]” (Shakespeare, III.i.46). When Mercutio was slain by Tybalt, Romeo chose to stay and try to get revenge for Mercutio’s death. At the time, Romeo was already Tybalt’s kinsman because he and Juliet were already married, and Romeo could have left the scene and let the law do it’s job with Tybalt. However, Romeo was only infatuated with Juliet, and as a result, only realized the impact of his actions after he had killed Tybalt. In addition, Juliet decides to follow Friar Laurence’s plan, in which he tells her to “for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease: no warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest; … Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift; and hither shall he come” and he and I will watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua” (Shakespeare, IV.ii.70). Friar Laurence instructs Juliet to take this vial that will fake her death, while he sends a letter to Romeo telling him of this,

Analysis of the First Scene of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare William Shakespeare is a famous play writer from the 1500’s. Most of

In Act 2 Scene 6 of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses the characterization of Romeo and the conflict of their secret marriage to emphasize the overall message that love and fate are interchangeable.

Shakespeare uses Tybalt’s interactions will the other characters as a way to show that he always has rage toward Montagues, and is prepared to fight at any time needed. In the text, Mercutio and Tybalt are about to fight when Romeo goes in between them, in efforts to break up the fight, it only resulted in Tybalt stabbing Mercutio from under Romeo’s arm, quickly turning into his death (3.1.59). In other words, Tybalt is trying to prove to Romeo that he wants nothing to do with peace and he came there to brawl. With Tybalt stabbing Mercutio, it ultimately gave Romeo a reason to get fired up and start a fight with him, which is what Tybalt went there to do. Tybalt is trying to enrage Romeo, giving him an almost guaranteed fight in doing so.

In Act 2 of the play, Mercutio & Romeo encounter Tybalt; conflict escalates until both Mercutio & Tybalt engage in a swordfight, which kills Mercutio. An enraged Romeo engages, killing Tybalt. Tybalt seems to blame in this situation, however, Mercutio’s death was only caused by accident when Romeo intervened in the fight that Mercutio started. His cockieness led to his & Tybalt’s deaths, as well as the banishment of Romeo, allowing the rest of the play to take place.

In Romeo and Juliet there is an ancient grudge between the Capulets and Montagues. Mercutio is killed after Romeo refuses to fight him. Romeo says to Tybalt before Mercutio’s death “I love you like a brother” this makes Tybalt anger as both of their family’s hate each other and Tybalt just wanted to fight Romeo and kill him. Romeo refuses to fight him as he knows know they are related. Shakespeare using
