Rome & Juliet

How Act 3 scene 1 is important to the development of the narrative in Rome & Juliet?

The pay I have been studying is the romantic tragedy of Rome & Juliet by William Shakespeare. The play is set in Verona which is a city in Italy. The time that the play is set in is late 16 century (1695) and that is when it was written.

 I am going to do about act three scene one because I think The fight scene is probably the most influential point in the play, as it is the turning point from bad to good, all seems well until this scene. The plot of Act 3 Scene 1 is that Mercutio has a fight with Tybalt which starts as a friendly sword fight and end up with the death of Mercutio. Romeo kills Tybalt for revenge for his friend Mercutio. For this act by Romeo, prince Escalus of Verona banishes Romeo to Mantua.

The main themes for the play Romeo & Juliet are romance, tragedy, violence, rivalry, fate, and hatred. In this essay I desire to say what characters are in my scene and I will show how act 3 scenes 1 are significant to the plot. Also I am going to state that who are the main and minor characters and what happens in the scene. After that I am going to put some quotations in and finish it of by a conclusion in which I will summarise all the answers.
