Now I can see why people would say act III scene I is the most important scene. Because if it had not happened, than Romeo would not have been banished and Juliet would not have pretended to die. But if act V scene iii did not happen than Romeo and Juliet would have never died. Also the feud would not have ended.…
Act 3, Scene 1 contributes to making Romeo and Juliet a true tragedy as this scene is the unfolding of a series of ill-fated events (3.1.84-87) ‘This days black fate on more days doth depend. This but begins the woe others must end’. Violence and blood is demanded early in the scene, as Tybalt is after Romeo in order to challenge him to a duel. Newly wed Romeo ignores Tybalt’s insults and respectfully declines his offer, as he knows he must respect and love the Capulet’s. Irritated by Romeo’s calm submission, Mercutio steps up to the challenge to defend the Montague name. Outraged by Mercutio’s death Romeo lets rage control his actions as he seeks vengeance upon his friend’s death, forgetting his intentions to settle the family feud. The dramatic irony of this scene, will possibly affect the audience, as they know this will cause uproar within the family feud. The events in this scene impact greatly on Romeo and Juliet, as this is the breaking point of the play. This scene also creates a domino effect on the events later on in the play.…
In this scene Shakespeare presents the relationship between Romeo and Juliet as a tragedy. I can tell this because it says ‘I must be gone and live’. This shows that Romeo knows he might die if he stays but he is choosing to stay to see Juliet. It also shows how much they love each other as Romeo is showing he would die for Juliet. By using the image of death, it shows that the story might become a tragedy. By including hints towards a tragedy, it keeps the audience interested. It also shows how bitter the feud is between the two families.…

Act 3, Scene 5 of “Romeo and Juliet” begins with Romeo, who has just spent the night with Juliet, waking up and realizing day has come. Juliet tries to convince Romeo to stay but they both know what will happen if he does, so he quickly leaves (Rom.3.5.1-35). Lady Capulet comes into Juliet’s room and tells Juliet of how Lord Capulet has arranged for her to marry Paris (Rom.3.5.107-110). Juliet says she will not marry Paris which leads to a major conflict with Lord Capulet and eventually him saying he will disown Juliet if she doesn't marry Paris (Rom.3.5.146-196). This scene is used to create even more tension in the play, and to create a sense of urgency as Juliet may have to marry Paris in less than a week.…
1. This is a pivotal scene in the play. From this point forward the action accelerates toward the catastrophe surrounding the tragedy of Romeo & Juliet’s death.…
Romeo travels to the cell of Friar Laurence, who has been out in the fields all morning gathering herbs.. Cheerful and excited, Romeo greets the Friar and tells him of his new love and plans for marriage. Friar Laurence, who has been Romeo's friend and confessor for some time, is confused and concerned about Romeo's sudden change of heart. He exclaims "Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here!/Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear/So soon forsaken?" (II.iii.65-8). But Romeo persuades the Friar that this time he has found true love and that he is ready to enter immediately into the serious bond of holy matrimony. Friar Laurence agrees to help Romeo, hoping that their union will finally end the feud between the houses of…
There are many instances of symbolism in Romeo and Juliet. One good example of symbolism in Act 2 is Friar Lawrence’s remark about poison (2.2.15-31). He says that all plants, herbs, and stones have their own qualities. He goes on by saying that there is nothing on Earth that cannot be used to do both good and bad things. Therefore, according to Friar Lawrence, poison is not intended to be used only for evil purposes. It is just a natural thing on this Earth that is used for evil purposes once in the hands of humans. One such evil purpose would be to kill someone. Poison symbolizes how society tends to take something that is beneficial and use it in a way that is harmful or deadly. This symbol is actually demonstrated in the play. The feud between the Montague’s and the Capulet’s itself is an example of this. The hate between the two families turns the love between Romeo and Juliet into something that is deadly. Later on in the story the deadly part is seen. There is not really a character with bad intentions in Romeo and Juliet. The environment in which the people in Verona live turns their good traits into poison.…
Act 3 scene 1 is a very important part of the whole Romeo and Juliet play. There are various mixed emotions the audience will endure throughout the scene and horrific blows are struck within this particular scene.…
Lines 36-39 and 41-52 of Act 2; Scene 2, are significant to me because they have distinct levels of understanding and meaning to the play. Line 41 goes back to the original conflict that Romeo and Juliet are from feuding houses, the Capulets and the Montagues. It shows that Juliet does not want her family to fight the Montagues, and that she believes it is ridiculous because it is not the people they hate and fight it is their name, Montague. The section I chose reveals that the kids, Romeo and Juliet, feel that they can not have what they want because of the parents’ feuds. It makes you feel as helpless as they are, because you know that with their parents’ permission to get married, they would be happy.…
The fast-paced dialogue between Romeo and Juliet during the balcony scene and declarations of love, as well as their decision to marry the day after meeting despite Juliet being in a rival household, illustrate their hasty decision-making and youthful rashness. The use of shared lines is also used in the passage. Juliet: "If that thy bent of love be honourable... Thy purpose marriage, send me word…
In Act 3 scene 5 Romeo and Juliet have just woken up. Romeo says he must leave but Juliet doesn't want him to go: "Thou need'st not to be gone." Shakespeare coveys a loving and caring atmosphere through his use of language in this scene: "believe me, love, it was the nightingale." Capulet decides Juliet will get married to Paris in three days time. It is important this is revealed before the scene as it creates dramatic irony because the audience knows such a significant detail of the play, yet Juliet doesn't, even though it's her getting married. Shakespeare uses the contrast between love and hate to add tension to the scene, like when Capulet clashes with a distraught Juliet after she refuses to marry Paris.…
Emotions are all around us and take over our daily lives. Throughout the play, the readers would listen to Romeo and Juliet talk about their undying love for each other. Romeo and Juliet were two teenagers from two feuding families. They then fell in love after they met each other at the Capulet’s ball. Romeo and Juliet get married after about two days of knowing each other, but Romeo then is banished from being in a fight in the streets.…
This show us that Romeo was not as responsible or mature enough to handle the consequences of the actions he took like marriage for example. In the 1500s when the play was written it was legal for girls to get married and 12 and boys at the age of 14. However, it was recommended that girls get married at 18 and boys at 22. Romeo and Juliet’s marriage was not something bad although it was rare. Shakespeare really exaggerates the words in Romeo’s line to really emphasise how he is overreacting and not handling this like a mature MARRIED person would.…
“Wisely and slow – they stumble that run fast” a wise priest warns one passionate lover, Romeo as he stumbles to share the news of the accepted marriage. Unfortunately for the characters, none of them seem to take these wise words in consideration. Passionate love and passionate hate propel the characters to immediate, and irrational actions. A perfect example of impatience in this play is when Romeo comes to the conclusion that his lover Juliet is lifeless. He hastily takes his life without stopping to think of the consequences. If he had been patient, and rational he and his love could have been together on earth. But because of his drastic measures, when Juliet awoke seeing Romeo partly dead she kills her self as well. The most traumatic scene in the play is because of the young lovers impatience. The second example of impatience is the fact that Romeo is eager to marry Juliet the evening that they meet. He does not think about Rosaline and the connection that they had made, according to Friar Lawrence. He almost seems quite selfish to let himself fall in love with a Capulet knowing that his family detests them immensely. Romeo is too impatient to give the situation a second thought. “Three words, dear Romeo, and goodnight indeed. If that thy dent of love be honorable, they purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow. By one that I’ll procure to come to thee. Where and hat time thou wilt preform the rite, and all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay and follow thee my lord throughout the world”. This quote by Juliet is also an example of how the young lovers do not think before they speak. This quote was said the night they had first encountered each other at the party. This proves that Romeo is not the only impatient one in the relationship, but Juliet is as well. She also did not think to ask for her parents’ approval or get to really know Romeo for who he is before enchanting her self within his love. Characters in…
