Act 1 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy play written by William Shakespeare. Act
1, scene 5 is an essential scene in the play. The main two themes are
the emotions, Love, and Hate.
I think this scene is so vitally important because it is the first
time Romeo and Juliet set eyes upon each other and it seems predicted
and they are instantly love struck. I think Shakespeare did this so
that the audience felt like they were perfect together but, this would
also make their ‘foreseen’ deaths (from the prologue) a lot harder for
the audience to bear. So the audience is told the play will come to a
horrifying climax at the beginning, ‘from forth… star crossed lovers
take their lives.’
This scene also sets up the chain of events that Tybalt and Romeo will
fight, and maybe we can assume that from Romeo’s success at the party
with Juliet, that his luck will probably hold out and he will win the
fight against Tybalt, which he later does.
This scene is also so important because it contains a monologue and
the monologue contains religious imagery. This would have been so
vital for an Elizabethan audience to know because a monologue tells
them what will pretty much happen, and adding religious imagery adds
fate and mystery to it, and adds lots of tension to the scene, so it
informs the audience, but doesn’t give away too much.
Romeo and Juliet’s kiss sets up the play for their tragic suicides at
the end of the play and it seems that every step of love they reach a
tragic event happens to match it, e.g. Tybalts death, Mercutio’s
death, Romeo banned from Verona and consequently the ‘star crossed
lovers’ suicide over false news.
Love seems to balance out hate in this play and the language of love
is written in sonnet form, Shakespeare’s speech does form perfect
sonnets for Romeo’s lines to Juliet and also in Romeo’s monologue.
Sonnets meant to an Elizabethan audience that this couple are perfect

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.

The audience has been told at the start that to resolve this dispute their children, two innocent lovers, must die.

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!
