Act 1 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
The tragedy of 'Romeo and Juliet' is about two families from Verona,
the Capulets and the Montagues, who are enemies. However, as the play
is entitled 'Romeo and Juliet' you would expect them to be the main
characters and this is true. Romeo and Juliet are 'star crossed
lovers', who fall deeply in love but because of their family's feud
the relationship is not allowed to blossom and, therefore, they use
their, 'graves as their wedding bed'.
Lord Capulet starts scene five, act one extremely jolly and welcoming
as he addresses his guests; he seems only content for his guests to
have a good time and to dance. However, this perception of Lord
Capulet changes dramatically as the scene carries on. Tybalt,
Capulet's nephew, discovers that Romeo, a sworn enemy of the Capulets,
is at the party. He says to Lord Capulet, "now by the stock and humour
of my kin, to strike him dead, I hold it not a sin". After Tybalt says
this, we see the volatility of Lord Capulet. At first, he is pleasant
and tries to calm Tybalt. He explains that rumour has it that Romeo is
a fair gentleman and should be left alone. This enrages Tybalt who
says that Romeo is "a villain that is hither come in spite, to scorn
our solemnity this night".
Tybalt believes that he should be dealt with and can't be left alone,
but Lord Capulet sees otherwise and suddenly launches a vicious verbal
attack on Tybalt and says,
"He shall be endured…you'll make a mutiny among my guests: you will
set a cook-a-hoop, you'll be the man"
This shows us that Lord Capulet has a short temper and if pushed can
be quite violent.
He treats Tybalt in a disdainful manner and is quite rude towards him;
he calls him a princox, and a good man boy, which are insults.
Eventually Tybalt concedes that on this occasion Romeo is to be
endures and that his time will come.

“This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy. What dares the slave come hither, cover’d with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.” (Shakespeare, page 54).
Act One of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare The play Romeo and Juliet is set in "fair Verona" in Italy. Shakespeare based his play on a poem by Brooke and brought it to the theatres in 1595. Although the play is set in Italy many things mentioned could be found in Elizabethan England, for example the Capulet's party. This suggests to me that Shakespeare had little knowledge of Italian life and culture.

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. During Art three scene five, the audience's perception of Nurse changes, and Juliet no longer looks to her for support.
Act 3 Scene 3 Of Romeo And Juliet by William Shakespeare Act 3 Scene 3 is a perfect example of Romeo's despondent persona. The events that take place in Friar Laurence's cell occur right after Romeo's marriage to Juliet. Romeo's devastation by the news that he is to be banished from Verona after murdering Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, had led him to seek guidance from Friar Laurence. Although this may seem understandable, Romeo is melodramatic and gives the impression that he is an over-the-top teenager. He illustrates this when he says; "Ha, banishment!
