Analysis of Act Three Scene Five of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

By the time we get to this scene Juliet has already married her Romeo which Capulet does not know about, this produces even more tension because Juliet is trying not to look guilty although she is forbidden to marry Paris. Capulet creates a dramatic effect on the whole soliloquy in pleading her to halt her tears ‘It rains downright’ he is stating that his daughter has been crying, perhaps too much. At the start the atmosphere remains calm. Capulet is worried about his daughter’s grieving for the death of her cousin Tybalt; however this isn’t the real reason for the upset. Shakespeare uses metaphors to compare the difference between the grief and good emotions.

As a result of this Romeo is going to be banished while this is happening Juliet's father is arranging for her to marry Paris. At the beginning of the scene Romeo and Juliet wake up and Juliet tries to tell Romeo it is not day 'wilt thou be gone, it is not yet near day'. This is because she doesn't want Romeo to leave. Romeo then reminds her that if he is caught in Verona he will automatically be killed 'come death and welcome Juliet wills it so'.

Examining Juliet's Response in Act 3, Scene 5 Juliet is very sad, extremely worried, by the time she is with her parents again. Romeo is going to leave Juliet after spending their wedding night together. This thought is unbearable for Juliet.

Conversely that very same Nurse thoughtfully advised Juliet to comply with her parents desires illuminating her true feeling and getting on with her life. Romeo ... ... middle of paper ... ...d also despite death. This play also deals with the idea of fate like many of Shakespeare's other plays. The fate caused by the circumstances of the feuding families predicted that these two would not be able to live together with the complete happiness of their families.

As Juliet and Romeo first see each other, it becomes love at first sight and eventually impacts both families both good and bad. Just as important is when Tybalt sees Romeo at the ball, which unleashes a burning hate and leads to the duel between Mercutio and Tybalt. Lastly, Capulet marrying Juliet off to Paris and moving the wedding day ahead ruins Friars plan and leads to the death of two beloved ones but creates a new kinship between the two families. At the end of the play it is clear that although it came at a deep cost to everyone, love infact played a major role in causing the hate between two families to end for good.

It is during Act 1 Scene 5 where they first fall in love; however, they’re unaware that they are from their rival families, which creates dramatic tension.

We know that this is condemned love because it goes on to say: ‘Take their life’ and ‘death mark’d love’. The tension is already built up before Romeo and Juliet first meet; Shakespeare shows his infatuation with Rosaline with this quotation: “Well in that hit you miss: she’ll not be hit with Cupid’s arrow.” This illustrates that Rosaline doesn’t love him back. This will lead the audience feeling anticipated as to what will happen during the party scene.

Juliet then goes on and says almost the same thing “My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain:” (3.2.105). This time Juliet says it in a joyful way and does not... ... middle of paper ... ...o be a happy night but suddenly Romeo is now banished and they can’t see each other. Juliet continues to question banishment and every time she says it, it gets worse and worse until she thinks its worse than death “ All slain, all dead. ‘Romeo is banished!’” (3.2.124). Juliet now thinks Banishment is worse than death and is now extremely sad because she realized she can’t be with Romeo.
