Analysis of Act Three Scene Five of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' is a dramatic tragedy, and
was first performed in 1595. The novel is about two young lovers,
Romeo & Juliet and the struggle with their relationship. Romeo and
Juliet are from opposing families, the Montagues and the Capulets. The
conflict between their two families causes problems for their love of
one another. Shakespeare's main themes throughout the play are of
love, conflict and of youth versus age. The scene that we are
analysing, Act 3 Scene 5 is one of the most important scenes in the
novel. This is mainly because; the character of Juliet is developed
tremendously. Juliet's feelings and thoughts are shown more in this
scene than in any other. Other reasons why the scene is important are
that we get to the see the huge gap in the relationship of Juliet and
her mother, and also we get to see other sides of the characters. One
other way of getting across Romeo and Juliet's struggle is the way
Shakespeare uses fate. Everything seems to happen to them because of
something they did earlier. For example, because Romeo killed Tybalt,
Juliet's parents want her to marry Paris. The audience feels more
sorrow for the young couple because everything seems to be happening
to them, although all they want is top be in love.
Shakespeare's use of dramatic irony is very prominent in Act 3 Scene
5, and also throughout the play. When Lady Capulet tells her daughter
Juliet
"Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride," she is telling her
that she is going to marry Paris. The dramatic irony in this is that
the audience knows that she cannot marry Paris because she is already
married to Romeo. This ...

...es of the play because Shakespeare uses contrast a lot
to keep the audience interested.
Another way in which Shakespeare uses contrast is with the character
of the nurse. She shifts her opinion on Romeo very quickly. Here she
is talking about Paris
"A lovely gentleman."
She also says that Romeo could never compare to him. Like Lord Capulet
her mood changes very quickly. In Act 2 Scene 5, it was the nurse who
organised Juliet's marriage and honeymoon. Then now she decides she
does not like Romeo. This shows how the nurse's mood changes very
quickly. She does not seem to understand Juliet's love for Romeo. This
makes the audience feel bad for Juliet; it makes them more involved in
the atmosphere of the scene.
The strongest contrast in this scene is between the idyllic and
loveliness of Romeo and Juliet's world and the angry world of her
parents.
