William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is the story of two families that dislike each other from an ancient grudge. The first scene I will write about is the opening scene, Act 1 Scene 1. The scene commences with two servants from the Capulet house called Samson and Gregory walking through the public place of Verona. As they are walking they meet two servants from the Montague house, their house rivals. The Montague servants are called Benvolio and Abraham. The Capulet servants then begin to taut the Montague servants. As they are arguing, Samson a servant from the Capulet, house makes a gesture by biting his thumb. “Do you bite your thumb at us sir.” This in Shakespeare era was considered quite a rude think to do to another person. The argument between the servants develops into fight. Benvolio, a Montague, tries to stop the fighting and brawling but Tybalt, a Capulet, arrives and attacks him. Citizens come and try to stop and impede the fighting, but then the leader of the Capulet house arrives and tries to join the fighting, “what noise is this? Give me my long sword, ho?” but is quickly restrained by his wife, Lady Capulet. This fighting is an example of how much the two families loathe and dislike other, but in my opinion, even though you do not get to know about why the two families hate each other, I believe it was a small argument that got out of hand. I believe this scene was very dramatic and crucial to the beginning of the play because it would show the audience how much the families hate each other and it would also set the scene for the rest of the play. The scene is very exciting because while the fighting would be commencing the audience would be getting very excited and thrilled at the fight. They would also start to cheer for the person they wish to win the fight, just like when people cheer for their favourite team at a football match or other sporting events.

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is also a prime example of those who choose to end their life to escape from their reality.

Touchstone added the humor to the story, and Jacques added the melancholy. Shakespeare entered both of these characters into the play to balance each other. He also added Audrey and William to give all of the characters someone to love.
Shakespeare uses much juxtaposition to personify his characters. This helps to give the audience a greater understanding of the relationships of the characters both to themselves and to other characters in the play.
