Romeo and Juliet act 1 Sc 5
Romeo and Juliet - Act 1 Scene 5 In this essay I will investigate why Act 1 Scene 5 is such an effective piece of drama. In order to do this I will see how Shakespeare got his message across to the audience, for this is a measure which I will judge its effectiveness as a scene. To do this I will have to look at all the dramatic techniques that he employs, the embedded sonnet, use of juxtaposition, and use of imagery. In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, about two love struck teenagers whom aren't able to be together due to their families feud/ social situation. There is two key themes that of love and hate. Before Romeo and Juliet meet, the audience is only aware that he is a Montague and that she is a Capulet. Shakespeare uses juxtaposition when Romeo and Tybalt encounter each other at the party. This adds to the scene being dramatically effective as do other happenings throughout the length of the scene. These include the speech of Capulet and the happy and joyous mood of the party, The romantic speech of Romeo, The hatred and harshness of Tybalts speech, a direct contrast with that of Romeo's and the drama when the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet first meet. Juxtaposition is an important part of Romeo and Juliet because it creates a feeling for the audience. The best feature about juxtaposition is the dramatic structure and immersing the audience in the play. At the

Act 1 Scene 5's is one of the most essential scenes in the play. It shows how Romeo and Juliet fall in love. Shakespeare wanted to present the audience with a clear understanding of how and where Romeo and Juliet fall in love. Some key dramatic techniques in this scene are that there is a lot of commotion in the scene, and that Romeo and Juliet are in the middle; this draws attention to them. In this scene you also see the hostility of the families towards each other; this is emphasized by Tybalt clearly being aggressive towards Romeo. Another dramatic technique used in this scene is the sonnet, you can tell the couple are going to get interrupted; the sonnet doesn't follow on with the pattern of the rhyme as most sonnets follow a pattern of 14 lines and rhyming couplets. Also, in this scene the couple discover that they are from families that are at war with each other. Another key dramatic technique in this scene is the dramatic irony; the audience know they are from opposite families. Some structural techniques in this scene are the contrasts, between the paces of the characters, some characters are moving fast while others are moving slow in the centre of the action. Another technique is the
Romeo and Juliet Act 1 scene 5.
Romeo and Juliet The Capulet ball introduces many aspects of the play as a whole. Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy it shows to people in love but who can be together as their family's are at war. Act 1 scene 5 has many importances to the play it is where it really lifts off. We are nearly at the end of the first Act, and at last our two heroes meet and immediately fall deeply in love with each other. The language used by Shakespeare here helps describe the deep passion that they feel for one another, and the readers are all given a treat when they meet. Romeo is shown to be a bit of a player, convincing Juliet to kiss him after only a few sentences. He uses religion in order to persuade Juliet to kiss him. He says that their love can only be described in religious terms, as it is associated with the purity and passion Romeo sees Juliet as a Saint that should be worshipped. A rhyming couplet shows a conclusion, after these words Romeo and Juliet kiss. This is a passionate moment for the readers as they share there first kiss. Romeo asks that they kiss again. 'Romeo: Give me my sin again, Juliet: You kiss by the book' this line from the book which is said by Juliet could mean two things firstly that Romeo is a good kisser secondly that her word could relate to religion. This moment in the play is extremely intense for the audience as Romeo and Juliet It is honorable love it

Romeo and Juliet Coursework Act 3, Scene 5 This play is about fate and how Romeo and Juliet love one another. I will be concentrating on Act 3, Scene 5. In this scene, there are a lot of different moods from Juliet mainly because she feels isolated. I will include why this scene is so important in the play and how it contrasts with other scenes too. In this scene, Shakespeare makes the audience feel sympathetic towards Juliet by using language that reflects on both Tybalt and Romeo. Before this scene, Romeo and Juliet have fallen in love at first sight. They have then planned and have had their secret marriage. They have intended to have their first night after marriage together but Romeo killed Tybalt, Juliet's cousin and now is a wanted man by the Montague family. The prince has sentenced Romeo to banishment in Mantua. In this scene, Romeo has had his first night together with Juliet and now has to leave before he is caught with Juliet. Juliet tries to convince Romeo that the birdcalls they hear are from the nightingale rather than from the lark. Romeo must leave before the morning comes as he could be caught with Juliet and will be killed anyway because of Tybalt's death. Romeo then has to leave and climbs down the balcony. Romeo says that she is as pale as a dead person in a tomb. This foreshadows with the final scene as in the end, Juliet and Romeo are dead.
Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Scene 5
Romeo and Juliet Examine how Shakespeare makes the audience feel in Act 3, Scene 5 of "Romeo and Juliet" Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is arguably the most famous play ever written. Many remakes have been made, but it was Shakespeare's talent to capture the audiences imagination that has made it world renowned. The act that I am studying is highly charged emotionally. Shakespeare specifically writes lines to target the audience's emotions and feelings to get his point across. Romeo has been banished from Verona for killing Tybalt, Juliet's cousin and spends one final night with Juliet. Juliet has been told in no certain terms she is to marry Paris, a kinsmen of the Prince of Verona. This act is the start of the tragic events that lead to the ultimate tragedy - the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare's exploitation of the rich and beautiful language gives figurative, poetic, and dramatic effect. Shakespeare is often called the master of puns and uses them frequently in Act 3 Scene 5. Juliet is saying that she wishes Romeo was dead, but the true meaning of her words are just below the surface: "Indeed, I never shall be satisfied With Romeo, till I behold him-dead- Is my poor heart so for a kinsman vex'd" It seems as if Juliet wishes that Romeo was dead, she is actually saying she will never be satisfied until she beholds him and her heart is dead.

Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 5
Romeo and Juliet Act 1, Scene 5 Act 1 scene 5 is one of the critical scenes in the play of Romeo and Juliet; it is when Romeo sees Juliet for the first time and the moment where Romeo falls in love with Juliet. This scene has many contrasts in moods, atmosphere, pitches and tones of characters voices. Act 1 Scene 5 starts of with a very busy and rushed atmosphere as the serving men are preparing everything for Capulet's party. This part of the scene sets a much tensed atmosphere because the serving men are keeping such a nerve wrecking and quick pace which is in a way like a climax. The reader draws in waiting to see what happens next. The mood suddenly changes from a loud, busy rushed mood to a cheerful, happy, welcoming mood. This is when Capulet is making a speech to his guest, greeting them to his party. At this point the mood has changed from the rushed busy mood to a more joyful mood. Capulet goes off with cousin Capulet and starts reminiscing about the old days when they were young and people they know that have grown and got older. "'Tis since the nuptials of Lucentio, Come pentecost as quickly as it will, Some five and twenty years; and then we mask'd. Second Capulet 'Tis more, 'tis more, his son is elder, sir; His son is thirty. This is when Capulet's tone is still cheerful but also becomes slightly more personal as it is a conversation between him and his
Romeo and Juliet - Act 1 scene 5.
English Coursework* Act 1 scene 5 is a conclusion to a series of exciting events as we the audience have seen, these include; the fight between Capulet and Montague's this situation is made clear in the sonnet spoken before the start of the play: "Two households, both alike in dignity, From ancient grudges break to new mutiny. The continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove." The theme is continued as soon as Sampson and Gregory appear, and dominates the first scene. Romeo's parents are worried about his strange behaviour. Romeo is entangled in his affair with Roseline, The 'calf - love' of Romeo for Roseline, which is little more than affection. Romeo tells Benvolio about his love for Roseline. His advances are not returned by her and his infatuation seems to be a sickness, an affliction: "She hath forsworn to love and that vow Do I live dead that live to tell it now." Paris love for Juliet, is deeper than Romeo's love for Roseline, but proper and conventional: Paris makes an approach to Juliet's father first and refers to her always with great respect, Paris is eager to marry Juliet. Capulet invites him to meet her at a family ball. The servant who should deliver the invitations asks Romeo and Benvolio to read them for him - which gives Benvolio an idea. At the very beginning of act 1 scene 1 the phrase: "A
Romeo and juliet act 1 scene 5
To what extent can it be argued that Act 1 Scene 5 is the most significant scene in the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare? In this essay I am going to analyse and discuss whether Act 1 scene 5 is the most crucial part in the play Romeo and Juliet. William Shakespeare was born in 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon. Located in the centre of England, the town was (and still is) an important river-crossing settlement and market centre. The register of Stratford's Holy trinity church records Shakespeare's baptism on 26 April. He is traditionally said to have been born on 23 April. His father, John, trained as a glove-maker and married Mary Arden, the daughter of Robert Arden, a farmer from the nearby village of Wilmcote. John and Mary set up home in Henley Street, Stratford, in the house now known as Shakespeare's Birthplace. Basically the play Romeo and Juliet is about two feuding families. Romeo is the son of the Montague's, and Juliet is the daughter of the Capulet's. Romeo and Juliet fall in love at a party in the Capulet's household. They obviously cannot marry each other or be in love because their families would never agree. They are so deeply in love they decide to have a secret marriage because they can't live without each other. After their marriage there is a massive fight between the two families. Romeo kills Tybalt who is Juliet's cousin. Romeo is
Romeo and Juliet act 1 scene 5
In my essay I will be studying the meeting of the "two star-crossed lovers": Romeo and Juliet. The play, which was written in 1595 by the famous William Shakespeare, is one of his most popular and is well known around the globe. In this essay I will be exploring how Shakespeare presents Romeo and Juliet's meeting in Act 1 Scene 5. It all takes place in Verona, Italy. A young boy from the Montague family falls in love with the beautiful Juliet of the Capulet family. An ancient feud between their families makes their love impossible, only when their blood is shed and their lives come to an abrupt and premature end may the feud come to a close. William Shakespeare has made the structure of Act 1 Scene 5 very sectional. Throughout the play there are lots of characters who enter and leave. Shakespeare uses very little stage directions; this is because he believes that the language he uses should lead to natural directions and movements. In first section of Act 1 Scene 5, the servants are arguing amongst themselves about how Potpan doesn't do his fair share of the work. Shakespeare has used this to foreshadow the events which occur later in the scene, where Lord Capulet and Tybalt argue about Romeo's presence at the Capulet party. Tybalt says "It fits when such a villain is a guest: I'll not endure him" to which Lord Capulet argues "He shall be endured." This argument then
Romeo and Juliet: Act 3 Scene 5
GCSE English Coursework: Romeo and Juliet: Act 3 Scene 5 Juliet's situation at the being of act 3 scene 5 is complicated because of the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues and the fight in scene 1 of this act. Tybalt's death has led to Romeo's banishment. Following the secret marriage between Romeo and Juliet they share their first night together before Romeo must go to Mantua. On the morning after their first night of marriage, it could be argued that she is loved completely by Romeo and also the nurse who always sides with Juliet. She is then forced to find her own inner strength as she is isolated from her family. In act 2 scene 2 we get the impression that Juliet is someone who is decisive and free from the prejudice of her family proving she has an independent mind. The impression is formed because she has her own views on the Montague and Capulet feud. Juliet's question to Romeo is an attempt to persuade him to stay longer by saying are you leaving and it's not day. The imagery associated with night and day begins to create tension because at the start, Juliet wants Romeo to stay and we know if he gets caught he will be killed. This shows he is being sensible but then they swap roles and Romeo wants to say. After hearing what Romeo has said she changes her mind and wants him to go. Our impressions of Juliet contrast here with her decisive character in earlier
