Act Three Scene One of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Scene 1 can be seen as a turning point in the play of Romeo and
Juliet as a whole. It is at this point that things start to go badly
wrong resulting in the death of Mercutio and Tybalt. It might be
thought that the four young men in the scene were to blame.
Benvolio is perhaps the only character who is against fighting. This
is first shown when he tries to stop the fight between the Montague
and Capulet servants at the beginning of the play.
Part, fools!
Put up your swords; you know not what you do.
(1.1.62-63)
Then at the beginning of Act 3 Scene 1, Benvolio tries to persuade
Mercutio to get off the streets:
I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's retire:
The day is hot, the Capulets abroad,
(3.1.1-2)
This quotation shows how Benvolio is worried about the prospect of a
fight with the Capulets. He also realises that the heat of the day may
cause tempers to flare up. Benvolio's own temper survives very well,
despite Mercutio's constant provocation. Instead of quarrelling with
Mercutio, he humours him.
Am I like such a fellow?
(3.1.9)
He knows that it is not he but Mercutio who is really the
confrontational one.
When Tybalt arrives and starts to quarrel with Mercutio, Benvolio once
again tries to act as the peacemaker.
Either withdraw unto some private place,
And reason coldly of your grievances,
(3.1.44-45)
However Mercutio and Tybalt ignore Benvolio. Benvolio stands powerless
as Mercutio and Tybalt fight. He is too frightened to break up the

more sympathetic towards Romeo, because we know that he has just
married Juliet, whilst the characters on stage do not.
Romeo could have acted in a more sensible way to Tybalt's challenge,
instead of coming out with the words, which provoked Mercutio into
violence. His intervention between Mercutio and Tybalt may have caused
his friend's death. His attempts to remain loyal to both his friends
and his wife Juliet, were doomed to failure.
As I have tried to show by looking at each character in turn, they all
had their parts to play in causing the tragedy. It was not, however,
one of them individually who caused the catastrophe. Was it perhaps
the conflicts between the various attitudes and personalities that was
to blame?

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 1 in 'Romeo and Juliet' is very important to the play as
soothes the family of the loss of young Juliet's life (Act IV, Scene 5, Line 65).
Juliet's Feelings in Act 3 Scene 2 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet The act and scene we are analysing is a very important one. This is because of the way Juliet reacts towards the events that face her in this part of the story. This scene is the ultimate example to tell us how Juliet thinks, feels and reacts towards Romeo. Not only is it one of the most interesting parts of the story but it is the most exciting scene, truly we can explore how and why Juliet reacts in the ways she does.

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.
Police brutality and racism has been in our country for hundreds of years. African Americans across America are viewed as what a typical criminal looks like. Black males have been shot and killed by white police officers and those
There are several beliefs of how police officers treat different racial groups. Several people say police officers are ethical and that they are just doing their job furthermore, its the doing of the suspects that causes the need of unwarranted force by the police officers. The chance of this is very reasonable, but then issue that comes to birth, is if this was true and police are just doing their jobs and being fair, why these events are mostly happening to minorities. Why are so many minorities constantly being pulled over for stop and frisk situations, frequently being killed? Unfortunately, racism remains in this day of age and it is ubiquitously in our society, and also in the criminal justice system. I think that race has affects that are positive and negative prejudices concerning the police. Numerous people think that, race is a factor that has lost a great deal of beneficial power as the U.S. develops as an increasingly international
This is before Romeo becomes broken-hearted by Rosaline, and is infatuated with Juliet. During the play itself, Act 3 Scene 3 is mostly typical of Romeo's behaviour throughout. Although for some parts Romeo conducts himself in a more mature manner, he mostly acts exactly what he is - a love struck teenager.
