Shakespeare's Act 3 Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet as Dramatically Effective
Romeo and Juliet is a story of two "star-crossed lovers" who are
separated from two feuding families: the Capulets and Montagues. This
powerful story includes deception, violence, secrets and of course
love in which Shakespeare adapts so it has an enormous dramatic impact
on the audience.
Act 3 scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet is one of the most dramatic of
scenes in the play. This scene is quite important especially for the
character Juliet who is involved all through the scene. This is
because Shakespeare makes dramatic use of what people know or do not
to build up tension for the audience and Juliet. To do this
Shakespeare plays one character against the other by using suspense,
excitement, sympathy, irony and other such dramatic devices to keep
the audience interested.
The scene within the context of the whole scene is based in Juliet's
bedchamber and in this case is very symbolic to Romeo and Juliet.
"Enter Romeo and Juliet at the window". This sets the dream like scene
that is quiet and peaceful. This is symbolic to the audience but also
Romeo and Juliet because it the first place they ever met and
ironically, the last place they will ever will before their fateful
deaths.
Romeo and Juliet's interaction is quite romantic and the language they
both use are poetic and has metaphorical imagery. " It was the lark,
the herald of the morn" to "stands tip toe on the misty mountain
tops". Romeo talks of the stars as the "night's candles" as being
burnt out as the lark sings as it is day. This creates a special
atmosphere where Romeo and Juliet have spent ...
... middle of paper ...
... twist of
the nurse's betrayal to force the audience to see Juliet's dilemma.
Although the audience may feel sympathetic towards Juliet, the
audience will be agonising over what Juliet is to do next. Juliet ends
the scene a gripping "cliff-hanger": "If all else fails, myself have
power to die", which is terribly ironic as this is what leads this to
her ultimate death.
This scene is very effective as we can the real characters are
revealed in a way with consequences. This scene shows that Shakespeare
must have understood human emotions well, and manipulating characters
made a massive impact on the play as a whole. This scene also shows
how love can bring happiness but also pain and suffering. I think this
scene is successful in the way Shakespeare conveys emotions to create
powerful plays such as Romeo and Juliet.

Act 3 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet There are several strong cases for Act 3 scene 5 being the pivotal, most important and significant scene in the play. To begin with, it is the last time that Romeo and Juliet are together, alive and well, after this scene Romeo goes to Manchua, and returns only to be near Juliet to die. Until this scene the audience will be convinced that Juliet has a very strong relationship with Nurse, they are obviously a lot closer than Juliet and her mother are, and Juliet relies on Nurse for advice and support.

The Significance of Act 3 Scene 5 in Relation to the Mood of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
The poetic verse of the love affair between Romeo and Juliet is dramatic. During Elizabethan times, women were not allowed to act in the theatre. However, Viola, the character, wants to act and auditions for a role in the production. When it is found out there is a female working on the production, the theatre is shut down. In my opinion, the most dramatic part, is at the end of the production of Romeo and Juliet, where Shakespeare is acting opposite his muse and she wakes up to find his character laying beside her dead
