The Importance of Act 3, Scene 1 in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Act 3, Scene 1 in 'Romeo and Juliet' is very important to the play as
a whole, and has a big impact on what happens in the remainder of the
play. I think this because in my opinion, it is the big turning point
in the play. The sudden and fatal violence in Act 3, Scene 1, as well
as the angry build up to it, serves as a reminder that for all its
emphasis on love, beauty and romance, 'Romeo and Juliet' still takes
place in a world in which notions of honour, pride and status are
always likely to erupt in a fury of conflict.
In Act 3, Scene 1, Tybalt of the Capulets is determined to fight with
Mercutio of the Montagues. Romeo turns up and tries to prevent any
fighting from taking place as he has just married Juliet and does want
any harm to come to either his good friend Mercutio, or his new family
member Tybalt. Tybalt is determined to fight with Romeo, but tells
Tybalt that he loves ‘thee better than thou canst devise.’
Unfortunately, Romeo’s refusal to fight actually intensifies the
violence he was seeking to prevent. Mercutio and Tybalt draw swords
and fight, resulting in Tybalt striking a fatal blow to Mercutio.
Romeo is incensed by this, and all his previous thoughts are forgotten
as he goes after Tybalt, seeking revenge. After a short duel, Romeo
murders Tybalt. Romeo flees, fearing the consequences of his actions,
and after the Prince has assessed the situation, Romeo is banished
from Verona.
Tybalt’s initial anger towards all the Montagues, Romeo in particular,
at first looks quite mindless and unnecessary, but when you consider

of the greatest tragedies ever. I think the reason it’s such a classic
is that it still can be understood and appreciated by young people
today and is still relevant to them, even hundreds of years after it
was first written.
People of today can most certainly still learn from the play and apply
it to their lives. For me personally, it has made me realise that
everyone is individual, and should be able to get what they want,
regardless of what other people think. Also I think its made me not
waste time, because the chance to do something may never come round
again, and you will regret missing a chance afterwards. Overall I do
feel this is one of the all time classic plays, and will probably
still be relevant in another three hundred years, as it can mean so
many things to so many people.

Act 3, Scene 1 is so important in the play because until The key events of the scene unfold, the play is portrayed as a romantic love story, but as the scene draws to an end, the atmosphere is a lot darker and it actually develops into a tragedy.

However, due to his intrusion of the Capulet party in act one, scene five, it is Tybalt’s rage that jeopardizes Romeo’s well-being. This shows the intensity of Romeo’s love for Juliet, and how he cares more about seeing her than his own safety. For example, in act five, scene three, Romeo kills himself because he believes that Juliet is dead. Love made Romeo put himself in dangerous situations, and caused Juliet to go against what her parents wanted. This is important to the story because it is Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other that ends the feud.

This is before Romeo becomes broken-hearted by Rosaline, and is infatuated with Juliet. During the play itself, Act 3 Scene 3 is mostly typical of Romeo's behaviour throughout. Although for some parts Romeo conducts himself in a more mature manner, he mostly acts exactly what he is - a love struck teenager.
