Act One Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

In act 1 scene 3 Romeo and Benvolio pass a servant. The servant has a

list of name of people that are invited to the Capulet's party, but

the servant can't read so he asks for Romeos help. Romeo reads the

list out loud and Benvolio has an idea.

Servant: "God gi' good e'en. I pray, sir can you read?

Romeo: "Ay, if I know the letters and the language"

"Stay, fellow; I can read (he reads the paper).

Benvolio: At this same ancient feast of Capulet's sups the fair

Rosoline."

Romeo agrees to go with his friends to the feast but he isn't happy

about it. But he goes so that he can see Rosoline.

Juliet's expectation of the party is to see Paris. Paris is whom Lady

Capulet wants Juliet to marry.

Lady Capulet: "The valiant Paris seeks you for his love."

"This night you shall behold him at our feast."

In act 1 scene 5 it is set in the Capulet's house. The scene begins

with the servants rushing around preparing for the feast.

"We cannot be here and there too. Cheerly boys, be brisk a while and

the longer liver take all."

This quotation show that the atmosphere is rushed and the movements on

the stage would be active. In In act 1 scene 5 the Capulet's hold a

feast at there house. The atmosphere changes from a rushed atmosphere

to a humorous atmosphere. This is because the feast has started and

Lord Capulet is joking around with his guests.

"How long is't now since last yourself and I were in a mask?

Berlady, thirty years."

This quotation shows Lord Capulet joking with his cousin about his age

and the last time they saw each other at a masque.

Romeo and Juliet see each other for the first time, and Romeo falls in

love with Juliet. Tybalt detects Romeo is present at the masque.

Tybalt goes and tells Lord Capulet that Romeo is there.
