Shakespeare creates tension in Act 1 Scene 5 by making Romeo, who is a Montague go to a Capulet party. This here creates drama as the two families are enemies so this makes the audience wonder what is going to happen next.
One of the ways in which Shakespeare creates tension in act 1 scene 5 is his use of dramatic irony. Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something about present or future circumstances which the characters do not have any knowledge of. For example, the audience know that Tybalt sees Romeo at the Capulet party, but Romeo does not know Tybalt has seen him.’ This, his voice should be a Montague’. This creates tension because this makes the audience wonder what will happen next and how the Capulets’ would react to a Montague attending their party and also makes the audience wonder what will happen to Romeo and how he will react to the bad news. Another example is when Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love with each other, but they don’t their enemies. Is she a Capulet? My life is my foe’s debt’, ‘my only love sprung from my only hate’. This shows Romeo and Juliet have found out they are enemies. This creates drama because this also makes the audience wonder what will happen next and how the characters will react when they find out.
In my opinion this is one of the most important scenes in the play because this is where Romeo and Juliet and begin a relationship together. I liked the end of the scene the most because this where Romeo and Juliet find out they are enemies. Shakespeare’s use of dramatic irony in that section creates drama because it makes the reader/audience want to know what will happen next and how Romeo and Juliet will react to this news. ‘My only love sprung from my only hate’, ‘Is she a Cap...

...speare makes the scene tense and makes the audience want to find out what what’s going to happen next. One example is at the end of the scene when Romeo and Juliet find out they are enemies.’ My only love sprung from my only hate!’ ‘My life is in my foe’s debt’. By using the dramatic irony Shakespeare leaves you on a cliff-hanger which makes this scene even more intensifying, and more interesting than other scenes in the play. Shakespeare symbolises a key theme, love. He symbolises it the most when Romeo and Juliet. This is effective because love and hate are not only throughout the play, but throughout the world as well. This is why this scene is most popular because Shakespeare uses a lot of affection which link to the themes of love and hate, to show how the characters feel, and to make this scene dramatic. I would give this scene **** out of 5.

The Ways Shakespeare Makes Act Three Scene Five Full of Tension and Exciting for the Audience
Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's first authentic tragedy. It is about two lovers who commit suicide when their feuding families prevent them from being together. The play has many characters, each with its own role in keeping the plot line. Some characters have very little to do with the plot; but some have the plot revolving around them. While the character of Friar Lawrence spends only a little time on stage, he is crucial to the development of the conclusion of the play. It is Friar Laurence’s good intentions, his willingness to take risks and his shortsightedness that lead to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

...d Juliet's suicide is the result of Act III, Scene I's shift in genres. The death of Mercutio provokes a change from comedy to tragedy but it is Romeo's actions that sustain the tragedy. Although Tybalt's murder reinforces the tragedy, it results in another change in the play. His death changes the course of the play as the family feud becomes increasingly serious. This further complicates the situation for Romeo and Juliet since now their love is forbidden even more than it was before. They cannot reveal their marriage, thus, their attempt to reconcile the families fail. All of this stems from the events in Act III, Scene I. Therefore, it can be concluded that this scene is the most critical scene in Romeo and Juliet.

The Role of Act 3 Scene 1 and Act 3 Scene 5 in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
William Shakespeare’s diverse use of rhetorical and figurative language enhances and develops the moods he conveys, thus creating vast and various atmospheres throughout his works. An example of one his works that uses many of these devices is Shakespeare’s renowned Romeo and Juliet. In the famous play, the two lovebirds (Romeo and Juliet), fall in a forbidden love as the long-lasting rivalry between their two families continues its onslaught. The couple later on tragically commit suicide, which ultimately ends the feud. During the journey of the two lovers, Shakespeare expresses clearly the mood of each scene using figurative language.
The Significance of Act 3 Scene 5 in Relation to the Mood of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is a famous play that was first performed between 1594 and 1595, it was first printed in 1597. Romeo and Juliet is not entirely fictional as it is based on two lovers who lived in Verona. The Montague’s and Capulet’s are also real. Romeo and Juliet is one of the ten tragedies that William Shakespeare wrote. In this essay, I aim to investigate what act 1, scene1 makes you expect about the rest of the play.
The play veers between love and hatred. The acts get more and more powerful until the death of the two protagonists. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet are redemptive. Shakespeare is very good at using different techniques to tell their story, all while centring the theme around love and
One of the main catalysts in Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' is powerful, uncontrollable emotions; love, hate, wrath, infatuation, and outrage are all apparent in the play and have a direct impact on the tragic events that unfold. In act one, scene two, the strongest emotions conveyed are those of despair, love and sincerity. Shakespeare uses imagery, figurative language and powerful vocabulary to convey these emotions to the audience.
In Conclusion conflict is experienced through-out this scene, particularly in Capulet’s language from his sarcasm, threats (both physical and verbal) and various insults towards both his daughter and Nurse which makes Juliet suffer from internal conflict. Act 3 Scene 5 reveals how women in the patriarchal society really did get treated, not having much power at all. I think that this scene motivates Juliet’s fate and structures the whole play.
Romeo and Juliet is a romantic love story about a young lad named Romeo who has fallen in love with Lady Juliet, but is unable to marry her because of a long-lasting family feud. The play ends in the death of both these characters and the reunion of the friendship between the families. Romeo is in love with Juliet, and this is a true, passionate love (unlike the love Paris has for her or the love Romeo had for Rosaline) that nothing can overcome, not even the hatred between their two families that is the reason for the death of their two children. Throughout the play, Shakespeare thoroughly explores the themes of both true love and false love and hatred. Without either of these themes, the play would loose its romantic touch and probably would not be as famous as it is today.
In the tremendous play of ‘Romeo & Juliet’, Shakespeare’s ways engages the audience straight away. The astounding methods he uses hooks the audience into the play and allows them to read on, wondering what will happen. The tragic love story of Romeo & Juliet, as mentioned in the prologue, sets a variety of themes throughout Act 1 Scene 5. Many of the recognisable themes are: youth and age, revenge, forbidden love, fate, action and hate. The main idea of the play is a feud that had been going on between two families, The ‘Montagues and Capulets’, the son of the Montagues and the daughter of the Capulets fall in love and the story tells us how tragic, death, happiness and revenge find them throughout the play.
