How does Shakespeare make act 2 scene 5 Such a dramatic and upsetting scene
In this scene we see, the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet separate in their different ways. This is both very hard for them because they are officially married and Juliet doesn’t want him to go, so she tries convincing Romeo that it is in fact the Night time bird singing and not the morning lark, finally Romeo agrees with her and at this point Juliet realises the danger of Romeo staying in Verona for even a while longer so she rushes to persuade him to go as soon as possible. “It is It is! Hie hence be gone, away!”
Juliet’s conversation with her mother is full of twists and turns, Juliet appears to be agreeing with her mother by condemning Romeo and wishing for his death, “Indeed I shall be satisfied with Romeo till I behold him –dead-“
But the true meaning of her words just lay beneath the surface .
Before act 3 scene 5 we see another side to the character Capulet. In act 1 scene 2 we see Paris asking Capulet to marry his daughter, “But saying o’er what I have said before“ and this shows, that Paris has asked Capulet many times before but he had said no. This was rather strange for this era because girls normally got married off at the age of 12. There is evidence that highlights how Capulet feels that Juliet is still too young to get married an example for this is “my child is yet a stranger to this world”. So when we see Capulet rushing Juliet into marrying Paris, this act of his was very shocking saying that he would disown Juliet if she didn’t get married to Paris. “hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday or never look me in the face”
We see Juliet mother taking not much control as her father, Capulet, she says “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word, Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee”. She’s basically saying that she doesn’t care what Juliet does anymore because she is done with her, Shakespeare makes this
