Romeo and Juliet both also use neat word play and oxymorons to create dramatic effect. "Some say the lark" to " More light and light, more dark and dark our woes." The fact that Romeo and Juliet share this rhyming couplet shows how they can read each other's mind and symbolise to the audience how much they are in love. The antithesis, which includes repetition also, balances night and day. This is dramatically effective as the audience would feel very sympathetic towards Romeo and realise that his woes are mixed with happiness. Although Juliet and Romeo may speak romantically, the dialogue does suggest that there is no time. "Hunting thee hence with hunt's-up to the day". The tone of Juliet may sound happy and romantic however when Shakespeare adds the imperative "O now be gone" this leaves an impression on the audience. The audience might feel compassion for the couple's brave attempt at love however much they are separated from their feuding families. The decision is then made for Romeo to leave when "Enter nurse hastily". Shakespeare has purposely emphasised the word hastily in this stage direction to show the audience that this is the time for the lovers to be apart. Nevertheless, this is also a hint that that the romance of the scene has ended and the
During Act 3, Scene 1, a brawl occurs between Mercutio and Tybalt. In this, Tybalt ends up killing Mercutio by stabbing him from under Romeo’s arm as Romeo tried to stop the fight. Out of revenge for Mercutio’s death, Romeo kills Tybalt. Prince Escalus arrives along with some of the Capulets and Montagues to enquire into the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio. Benvolio explains what happened and The Prince decided to sentence Romeo to exile from Verona. Romeo deserved to be banished from Verona because he committed murder, which is a serious crime and putting Romeo to death would have escalated the feud between the families.
The summary of Act V is that Romeo received a letter about everything that has happened. Romeo decides to go back to Verona, to see Juliet. Since he thinks Juliet is dead, he buys poison so he can kill himself, to be with Juliet. Paris doesn’t want him there, so they fight to the death. Romeo wins, and he sees Juliet. He drinks the poison and dies. When Juliet wakes up, she sees Romeo lying dead next to her. She is so sad that she kills herself to be with him.
In this essay I will address how conflict is successfully used in Act 1 Scene 1 to prepare the audience for the rest of the play. It will firstly show how Shakespeare uses physical conflict between the two feuding families. Secondly I will demonstrate the idea that Shakespeare introduces emotional conflict through the character of Romeo, and his outpourings of love for Rosaline. Finally I will show that the character of Romeo demonstrates both physical or external conflict and emotional or internal conflict. The purpose of the prologue is to clearly outline the plot of the whole play in fourteen lines and it also allows the audience to be settled before the actual play
Shakespeare creates effective drama by introducing the speech of Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt. Tybalts speech is strong and hateful towards Romeo, as he is now aware that there is one, if not more Montague’s present. By using dialogue such as ‘ what dare that slave come hither’ and ‘uncle, this is a Montague, our foe’ Shakespeare is able to translate the hate and rivalry, possessed between Romeo and Tybalt and generally the drama and conflict between Capulet and Montague. This is very dramatically effective. Capulet’s response to Tybalt, is to say that he has heard only good things about Romeo, therefore the party must go on. More time for more drama is allowed with no interruption of the party, therefore the passionate meeting of Romeo and Juliet is allowed to take place.
