Act 1 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
The play is about two young people, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love
in Verona. Their parents hatred filled feud eventually brings about
their deaths
Even before the play has begun, it seems as if the parents only made
the lovers to die with a pointless sad, life. When the prologue speaks
of ‘fatal loins’ Shakespeare sets a strong feeling of love and hate,
as well as a sad sort of irony. The prologue also speaks off the fury
of the parents in comparison to the love of Romeo and Juliet when it
speaks of their ‘parents rage’. The word rage is a very strong word
which Shakespeare uses to show extreme and uncontrollable anger or
hatred, which the playwright uses to get the message of their absolute
contempt of each other across to the audience. This contrasts with the
love predicted for Romeo in Juliet as ‘star crossed lovers’ they were
destined to fall in love, but also destined to die. It foreshadows the
love and hate later in the play.
Act 1 Scene 5 is very important in showing the strong contrast of love
and hate in the play. Romeo and Juliet fall in love at first sight at
a ball where Romeo is unwelcome as a member of the Montague family.
The audience sees Tybalt angry and violent as he threatens Romeo. This
hints at the events later in the play as either Tybalt’s furious hate
or Romeos purest love must end.
Before the real action starts Shakespeare sets the scene for a lively
part, by making Capulet merry and jovial when he says “She that makes
daintily, she I swear hath corns”. He is making this wisecrack to make
the party seem more laid back and friendly. He wants his party to go
well. This creates a light hearted and pleasant atmosphere for the
entire scene. On stage perhaps party-goers would be chattering
excitedly. In these scenes we also get to know a lot about lord
Capulet.

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 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.
Many people claim that love and hate are the same thing, while others say that the two emotions are complete opposites. William Shakespeare explored the two emotions in his play Romeo and Juliet. In the play, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet are teens who grew up in families that have been feuding longer than either family can remember. However, the two meet out of unforeseen circumstances, and fall irrevocably in “love”. They woo, and within twenty-four hours they are married. Things seem to be going well until Romeo is provoked into killing Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, and gets himself banished. Juliet is also promised to marry Paris, an eligible bachelor, while she is still mourning Romeo’s banishment. She decides to see one of the two people who know of her and Romeo’s marriage, Friar Laurence, to whom she says that if she cannot find a way out of being alone she will kill herself. The Friar gives her a potion to sleep for forty-two hours and appear dead to help her. The plan is that Romeo is supposed to be there when she wakes up, but Romeo hears that she is dead and kills himself at her feet. She then awakes and kills herself as well, ending the whole brutal affair. The reader is then left to wonder if what they have just experienced is a tragedy of young love or a lesson on the power of hate, a question for which Shakespeare leaves a blurry but definite answer. After a deeper look into the text, it becomes clearly evident that hate has far more power over the characters than their “love” ever could.
Throughout Romeo and Juliet, love and hate are combined. However, even though they are combined, love still remains the principal theme in the play. Although in the play, the theme of hatred can be just as important and sometimes it intensifies the theme of love. For example, Romeo and Juliet’s love wouldn’t have been so extreme and powerful unless there was the hatred between the Montague’s and Capulet’s. We observe this from the very beginning of the prologue.
In the play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, the author portrays certain themes of antithesis that are outlined from the play. The major form that we have interpreted from the play is love and hate or that of violence and peace. These themes are portrayed strongly in many scenes of Romeo and Juliet, and it is what keeps the plot going. Shakespeare may have wanted to show how hate and love, violence and peace, can lead to something that is great in the
whether he was really in love with Rosaline, or did he just want to be
This theme is not only represented in “Romeo and Juliet”, or other playwrights and stories that people read about online, but in their everyday life. Although Shakespeare makes the theme of love and hate dramatic and over the top in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare delivers the message of how love and hate can overpower and consume us, and if we aren’t careful, it can easily blow up and destroy everything. As Kurt Tucholsky once said, “Those who hate most fervently must have once loved deeply; those who want to deny the world must have once embraced what they now set on fire.” The coexistence of love and hate was not something Romeo and Juliet could choose to embrace or avoid, it was simply

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!

Ultimately`, William Shakespeare shows in many different ways throughout the play, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, that love is the more powerful force than hate. The readers see how the characters continuously forgive one another, even when the conditions are tough. The friendships between specific characters display a loving bond that cannot be broken with hate. Shakespeare demonstrates that Romeo and Juliet’s love can overpower the hate of many events in the play. He shows that their love can even overpower the death of one of their own family members. Romeo and Juliet’s love brings friendship between their feuding families. This story is a true example of how love can conquer all.
