The moods in each of the scenes contrast completely; one of love and unanimity and the other of death and anguish; these two scenes deliberately

the audience in Act 1-Scene 5? In this essay‚ I will be exploring how Shakespeare engages the attention of the audience in Act 1‚ Scene 5. The Capulets and the Montagues hate each other; Romeo is a Montague‚ but Juliet is a Capulet. This scene takes place when Romeo first lays eyes on Juliet.

Act one scene two started off with a speech by Claudius. Most of his speech was discussed in class where the speech was divided up by thought. I thought it was interesting how most of Claudius’s speech was separated to bring out pity and fear into the audience. Like his first thought was about his brother’s death (pity)‚ another thought was about his succession to the throne‚ and his last thought was about Fortinbras‚ the common enemy they all share and how they must be careful around their enemy

Julius Caesar – Act 1 Scene 2 The scene I have drawn is act 1 scene 2 when the soothsayer approaches Julius Caesar. He tells him to “Beware of March 15th”. This is a significant scene to the play because he warned Caesar about the day of his death. This is important because it shows how he is arrogant and thinks he is superior to others by not listening to anyone’s opinions. “He is a dreamer. Let us leave him.
