Essay about Romeo and Juliet: Act 1 Scene 5

Act 3 Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet is set in the house of the Capulets. Juliet is anxiously awaiting night because Romeo is coming and will take her virginity. Juliet is nervous that her inexperience will be apparent to her new husband. Nurse enters the room with ladder for Romeo to climb the orchid wall later in the night. When Nurse arrives Juliet is able to sense that Nurse comes with bad news. Nurse is vague with her delivery of the news “he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead!”(pg 128) Juliet believes that Nurse is referring to Romeo, Juliet’s belief that Romeo is dead causes her great distress. Nurse later reveals that Tybalt is the dead man she is talking about “O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had!”(pg 128) Juliet briefly believes that

First, Romeo’s kind and calm personalities act as an advantage for many of the possible problems he could have had, such as Capulet hatred towards him and his increase in violence. After Romeo was depressed because he liked Rosaline and she didn’t like him back, his cousin Benvolio helped Romeo sneak into a Capulet party so he could get over Rosaline and pick another woman that he might want. As Romeo was describing how Juliet looked to his cousin, Tybalt, Capulet’s nephew, figured out that Romeo was at the party by his voice. He then confronted Capulet and asked him if he could kill him, but surprisingly Capulet lets him stay at the party and calls Romeo a gentleman and a good man (Shakespeare Act 1 Scene 1 Line 64). Capulet could have captured him or even killed him, but he did not. Capulet stated that Romeo is a well-governed youth and that Romeo is a good man, which shows that Romeo isn’t a person who would cause a commotion and that he causes no threat to the Capulet family. Later on, as Mercutio, the prince's kinsman, is arguing and fighting with Tybalt about him being one of his villain Romeo’s friends, Romeo comes in and says, “Tybalt, the reason I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such greeting. Villain am I none.Therefore farewell. I see thou knowest me not” (Shakespeare Act 3 Scene 1 Line 58). As Tybalt wants to fight Romeo and bring in violence,

In William Shakespeare’s play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ there is alot of conflict particularly in act 3 scene 1. The audience find conflict interesting to watch because it creates drama and tension. Shakespeare uses many dramatic devices to present this; some of these techniques include foreshadowing, puns and irony to add to this effect. Another reason why Shakespeare uses conflict in the play is so that the audience are able to get attached to it and watch the conflict grow. The fact that the scene is set in a public place encourages the characters to show off, the characters do this because they want to show their strength and show people that they are not afraid. The conflict in the

In Act III, scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence informs Romeo that the Prince has decided to punish him with banishment from Verona. Instead of feeling joyful of escaping capital punishment, Romeo mourns over the fact that he could never see Juliet again. While the two discuss the Prince's decision, the Nurse arrives and tells Romeo that Juliet is also heartbroken over Tybalt's death. Guilty of hurting Juliet, Romeo threatens to commit suicide. To stop Romeo, the Friar suggests that he and Juliet should consummate their marriage, and afterwards, they can try to get the Prince's pardon. Comforted, Romeo agrees and prepares to see Juliet. As the director, I will ask the three characters to showcase the difference between the youth and

In many literary works, there are methods that authors use to make a story better. In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, dramatic irony is the driving method. Dramatic irony is something in which characters do not know something, but the reader or audience knows what the true reality is. According to some researchers, “A staple of Elizabethan and Shakespearean drama was dramatic irony” (Halio 25). Furthermore some researchers also belive that dramatic irony is very prominent in the play, “ One of the more prominent literary devices in the play is irony” (Sauer 673). Romeo and Juliet, and also their friends and families face a lot of instances of dramatic irony in the story. Dramatic irony creates suspense and adds to

However, Juliet soon stumbles upon her fate when she finally meets Romeo and instantly falls in love with him, despite him being the son of her family's enemy. Shakespeare's text structure depicts Juliet as someone who is reckless, and does not stop long enough to evaluate the full consequences of her actions. "Farewell!—God knows when we shall meet again. I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins. That almost freezes up the heat of life. I’ll call them back again to comfort me. — Nurse!—what should she do here" (4:3:14-18). Shakespeare uses paradox, hyperbole, apostrophe and oxymoron to convey the violence of emotions in Romeo and Juliet as also the 'sweet lyricism of young passionate love' (Albertan A, 2003). His clever use of dramatic structure enables the audience to switch between comedy and tragedy to heighten the tension, leading up to the heartrending climax. "O, look! Methinks I see my cousin's ghost Seeking out Romeo that did spit his body, upon a rapier's point: — stay, Tybalt, stay!" (4:3:19-21). This apostrophe is a solitary example of the establishment of tragedy within the play, showing how two star-crossed lovers have a destiny with death.

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

When Juliet says, “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? / Deny thy father and refuse they name, / Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, / And I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (2.2.36-39), this displays the feuding hate between the two families, Montague, and Capulet. In William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, Ignorance and hate play a significant role. Without these two main aspects, the tragedies, would have not occurred. Three characters, Capulet, Lady Capulet, and Tybalt are directly and indirectly accountable for the deaths of Romeo, and Juliet. Capulet, is the father of Juliet, in which arranges her to marry Paris. Juliet does not like this, thus, caused dispute between both of them. Capulet displayed a very demanding character, being strict on rules. Lady Capulet, is of course the mother of Juliet, but started the whole topic of marriage at the beginning of the play. This was comparable to when Romeo liked Rosaline, but did not get the love back, as for now, Paris loved Juliet, however Juliet did not return the love back. Tybalt, is a member of the opposite family, the Montagues, in other words, the family hated by the Capulets. Tybalt also plays a character of hatred, as he kills Mercutio, first causing a fight, in who Romeo, liked very much, initiating trouble in the end. When this occurred Romeo said, “Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, / O anything of nothing first create! / O heavy lightness, serious vanity, / Misshapen chaos of wee-seeming

Act 2 scene 2 is where Romeo and Juliet meet again when Romeo tries to sneak into the Capulet’s household by entering through the Capulet Gardens. Here he meets Juliet on the balcony and now they both have a newfound passion for each other. In the 1996 version, the balcony scene was adapted into a pool scene. Since there was no balcony in the way, Romeo and Juliet could kiss more often than otherwise would have been possible. Since modern audiences are almost always interested in sex, the 1996 version uses this to keep the audience’s attention. In the 2013 version, the approach was more traditional, with a balcony and no pool. While Juliet was on the balcony, she rests her hand upon her cheek and Romeo comments about Juliet’s beauty, to himself, while the frame is a tight shot in Juliet’s face. The effect here was so literal,

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic result for Romeo and Juliet. Love and hate are two main themes that exist paradoxically in this play. Without love, hate would not exist. The hatred between the two feuding families plays a major part throughout the play.

Romeo and Juliet, the tale of two star crossed lovers who let fate control their destiny and whose deaths determine their families feud. Good Morning Gentlemen and Mr O’Neil, welcome to this presentation. Mercutio and Tybalt, the agitators of the Montagues and Capulets. The pair usually have had conflict between them however it wasn’t until Act 3, Scene 1 where circumstances turned for the worst. Act 3 Scene 1, Mercutio and Tybalt are both killed in action.

Act 1, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet involves five drastically different characters, all with varying goals and personality traits: Tybalt, Lord Capulet, Romeo, Juliet, and the Nurse. Tybalt’s defining traits are his hot-headedness and hatred of peace. His temper and protectiveness lead to a desire to protect the Capulets from any Montague intrusion. His arrogance also plays a large role; by challenging someone to a fight, he can display his skills in combat. To outsiders, Lord Capulet may seem vastly different from Tybalt, seeming jovial, but within his family, he is similarly short-tempered. While he wants his guests to enjoy themselves in order to be a polite host, he also wants to avoid breaking the law against public fighting. Therefore, when Tybalt readies himself to fight Romeo, Capulet steps in and admonishes him in order to avoid tarnishing his reputation. Romeo, on the other hand, is quick to love and quick-- almost hasty- in acting. He longs for something (such as the party) to take his mind off Rosaline, but his belief in fate does not entirely allow him to do so, as he had previously believed horrible events would take place if he went to the party. This belief causes him to exit abruptly, despite having just met Juliet. Juliet herself is lonely and simultaneously standoffish and naive. She wishes to find someone she truly loves, and finds this in Romeo. Although her defensive nature makes her reject him at first, her naivety eventually leads her

In act one, scene five, it is the part of “A hall in Capulet's house”. The staging choices reveal the conflict by placing all the characters together. Everything happens in the Capulet’s house. It relates to the theme by placing Romeo and Juliet together; love at first sight. In this statement, it will show how the play has been directed, things about the staging and how it works, and the actual theater..

“In fair Verona, where we lay our scene… A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows, Do with their death bury their parents' strife.”(lines 1-10). This is Shakespeare’s inventive way of establishing the exposition of the story to the audience without even having any of the characters speak. Shakespeare then starts the dramatic action with a fight between Benvolio of the Montague family and Tybalt of the Capulet family. This fight is ended by the Prince of Verona, who states that “If you ever disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.” (act 1 scene 1 lines 90-91) Shakespeare uses this moment as an opportunity to sneak in some foreshadowing in order to prepare the audience for the tragic climax. Shakespeare then introduces our main characters. Romeo, a heartbroken young man and Juliet, an innocent young girl soon to be wed by her parents. This begins the transition between the exposition and the rising action of the
