They understand Juliet's problem. Juliet then says, "He shall not make me a joyful bride," she says this but does not give a reason why, even though the audience know it is because she is deeply in love with Romeo and not Paris. Juliet then goes on to say "I will not marry yet, and when I do, I swear It shall be Romeo," Lady Capulet does not know that Juliet is already married to Romeo but the audience do know. This makes the audience aware of the relationship between Juliet and her mother, they are not close at all and Juliet does not think twice about lying to her. Also, when Lord Capulet is shouting at Juliet that she must marry Paris on Thursday, the nurse says "God in heaven bless her." The nurse is telling Lord Capulet to stop shouting at Juliet, just because she does not want to marry yet. She says this even though she knows Juliet does not want to marry Paris because she is already married to Romeo. Lord Capulet does not know this. The effect of dramatic irony is that one character does not know what is going on while the audience do. This makes the audience more aware of what is going on in the scene. It also shows the gaps in people's relationships, such as Juliet and her mother. Shakespeare's uses of language are very important throughout Act 3 Scene 5. When Juliet is talking to her mother about the death of Tybalt and about Romeo, she uses words that can mean two things. "Indeed I never shall be
During Act 3, Scene 1, a brawl occurs between Mercutio and Tybalt. In this, Tybalt ends up killing Mercutio by stabbing him from under Romeo’s arm as Romeo tried to stop the fight. Out of revenge for Mercutio’s death, Romeo kills Tybalt. Prince Escalus arrives along with some of the Capulets and Montagues to enquire into the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio. Benvolio explains what happened and The Prince decided to sentence Romeo to exile from Verona. Romeo deserved to be banished from Verona because he committed murder, which is a serious crime and putting Romeo to death would have escalated the feud between the families.
The summary of Act V is that Romeo received a letter about everything that has happened. Romeo decides to go back to Verona, to see Juliet. Since he thinks Juliet is dead, he buys poison so he can kill himself, to be with Juliet. Paris doesn’t want him there, so they fight to the death. Romeo wins, and he sees Juliet. He drinks the poison and dies. When Juliet wakes up, she sees Romeo lying dead next to her. She is so sad that she kills herself to be with him.
In Act 5, Scene 3 (part 1) in Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Romeo goes to Juliet’s tomb to find closure within his true love, but is confronted by Paris who is also saying his goodbyes. Ultimately, all of them end up dying, but Romeo and Juliet end up taking their lives as an act for love and to ensure that they will be together forever. Romeo launches into an emotional soliloquy before he takes his life, which justifies the rash decision he ends up making. The power of love is prevailed throughout the whole scene when it comes to the characters. Also the drastic contrast between Romeo and Paris in this scene presented through foiling, shines a light on the extreme changes Romeo endures through the scene’s events. The powerful love that overcame Romeo for Juliet, and the emotional heartbreak he goes through when she is presumed dead, makes the death of both of them all the more justified in their eyes.
There are millions of different well-known plays around the world, some of these plays have been performed many times over and over again. Even though these plays are repeatedly performed, every time there is a difference, every time something has changed. Directors have this power and ability, to be able to change how a character looks, or the point of view, or even just the facial expressions of the character. All of these little differences affect the play and make it look brand new every single time. This will be shown through the comparison of two different Romeo and Juliet production of Act 2 Scene 2, the balcony scene. One of the productions is by Franco Zeffirelli and the other by Baz Luhrmann. In my opinion, the production that was the most
