The Importance and Effectiveness of Act 3, Scene 5 in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
“Romeo and Juliet” is one of the most widely known works of
Shakespeare and is still popular today. It is one of Shakespeare’s
earliest plays and most famous tragedies. The play is set in Verona,
Italy, which is thought of as a place of love and passion.
=====================================================================
There is no clear indication within the play of the time setting but
it seems to be around 1200 or 1300. Patriarchal society in England is
mirrored by Shakespeare in Verona and prominent themes are explored
that were common in Elizabethan England and in some cases today. This
explains that if the play had been set in modern times; the play
wouldn’t have ended as it did, as Juliet would have had choice about
which she married. Love had to be shown through language using
imagery as in Elizabethan Theatre there was only male actors.
“Romeo and Juliet” is a play about love and passion between two young
people. For many years an on-going feud between two families has
caused much disruption in Verona, Italy. Hatred between the two
lovers’ families, the Montagues and the Capulets, ends with them
killing their only two children.
I have chosen to focus on Act 3, Scene 5 as in my opinion it is the
most important scene in the play. The scene opens with Juliet saying
goodbye to Romeo, who must leave for Mantua. In the previous scene the
audience has heard the conversation between Lord Capulet and Paris
when Capulet offers Juliet’s hand in marriage to Paris. We understand
why he does this, but we are aware of many thin...

...she has never really understood her. At the end of Act 3,
Scene 5 when Juliet is left alone, Juliet says she will never trust
the Nurse again. She only speaks to the Nurse once more in the play.
In my opinion I think it is surprising that the Nurse cares more about
Juliet’s marrying, than her real love for Romeo, her husband.
Conclusion:
Romeo and Juliet’s suffering and deaths are tragic however, without
them, their families would not have stopped feuding. Verona was torn
by the hatred between the two families. The sacrifice made by the
lovers allows everyone to begin healing old wounds. They make the
greatest sacrifice for each other and this proves their love. Act 3,
scene 5 is important as if Juliet was able to choose her actions and
make her own decisions the play would not have ended as it did: a
tragedy.

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.
Act 3, scene 5 is one of the most dramatic and crucial scenes of the
This scene is the turning point, as it affects many things later on in the play, i.e. Juliet kills herself as she cannot see Romeo any more. I will be, in my essay explaining the dramatic effects of language, themes, characters and their actions, historical and social context, dramatic devices and finally audience response in Act 3 Scene 1. This play isn't an original idea, Shakespeare actually took this from Arthur Brooks poem, it was originally called 'Romeus and Juliet' written in 1562. Shakespeare cleverly rewrote the poem and made it much more of a success than Brooke's poem, because Brooks poem was extremely boring. Shakespeare was a genius, and made it powerfully vivid.
In my opinion Act 1 Scene 1 is the most important scene of the play
