The Use of Dramatic Devices in Act 3, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is the story of two young lovers trying to consummate
their love despite the difficulties that face them. In the play, Romeo
and Juliet are members of two feuding families who hate each other
because of an ancient grudge.
Romeo and Juliet is a play about love, passion, hatred, violence and
death; typical themes of a Shakespearian tragedy.
In the play, Capulet orders Juliet into marriage but she rebels and
doesn’t marry her father’s chosen groom, Paris. She does this because
she is already in love with Romeo. This is strange because, when the
play was written, daughters would obey their fathers in all
circumstances.
Act 2 Scene 6 has a romantic atmosphere and when the play turns to Act
3 Scene 1 the mood is obviously darker. This creates tension because
the audience are interested and wait to see what is going to happen.
At the start of Act 3 Scene 1, Shakespeare uses language to create
tension. Benvolio says,“I pray thee good mercutio, let’s retire: The
day is hot and the Capels are abroad, And if we meet we shall not
scape a brawl, For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.”.
This shows that Benvolio thinks something bad is going to happen and
he warns mercutio, therefore creating tension.
Then mercutio retaliates against Benvolio saying that he is not one to
criticise as can loose his temper and can be violent sometimes. He
says “Thou art like one of these fellows that, when he enters the
confines of a tavern, claps me his sword upon the table and says ‘God
send me no need of thee!’; and by the second cup drawers him on the

The Prince arrives with his attendants followed by Montagues and
Capulets. Benvolio informs him that Tybalt killed Mercutio and, in
turn, Romeo has slain the murderer. Lady Capulet breaks out over the
death of her nephew and demands that Romeo be put to death. The
Prince, paying no attention to her, asks for details of the affair
from Benvolio. Benvolio states that Romeo was unwilling to fight and
calls Tybalt the aggressor. Lady Capulet again demands the death of
Romeo. Montague takes Romeo’s side saying that Romeo is justified in
avenging the death of Mercutio, his friend. The Prince then announces
his decision. Romeo is now an exile from Verona, and each of the
families is heavily fined. He also states that if Romeo is found in
the city, he will be immediately put to death.
