Romeo and Juliet Act 1 scene 5.

            Quoted from another person’s analysis act 1 scene 5 “Romeo gatecrashes the party because he desperately wants to see Rosaline. Mercutio and Benvolio go to the party with Romeo. Romeo's mood would be happy and excited because he cannot help but the notice a girl of his dreams, she is beautiful, attractive and magnificent. This girl Romeo sees is called Juliet.

'For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night'. Tybalt hears Romeo speak. His reaction to this was that he wanted to kill Romeo. His attitude towards Romeo is that he hates him. Tybalt is angry that Romeo has dared to come to the party when he hasn't been invited. 'This by his voice should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy.' This hatred contrasts Romeo's love earlier in the scene.”

            When Tybalt discovers Romeos identity at the ball he is aroused he sees Romeo wooing his cousin he immediately rushes to tell Capulet he says “uncle this is a Montague our foe: a villain tat is hither come in spite to scorn at our solemnity this night” Capulet is outraged at Tybalt he thinks he is trying to ruin his big night he clips him round his head and says he is a saucy boy. Tybalt language he uses is strong it relates right back to the first scene when there is a fight between Capulet and Montague he says “what drawn and talk of peace I hate the word as I hate hell all Montague’s and thee have at thee coward” Tybalt is strong he loves his family and doesn’t what them to get hurt in anyway it shows he has a heart he loves but he goes about it the wrong way trying to help his family trying to protect the name Capulet.

        Lord Capulet is a strong man very violent but he also loves his family dearly. Capulet thinks that Juliet, at the age of 13, is too young for marriage. Capulet tells Paris that he is having a feast that night and he should come and try to win over the heart of Juliet. If he can win her heart, then he might agree to Paris' request. He would do anything for his family he no’s that Paris is a wealthy man and it would be good for Juliet to be with a man who could take care of her but she is young he says wait till she is 16 then she will be right for you he tells Paris that he should go to the ball that night and look around at other women. Capulet at one point in act 1 scene 5 switches on Tybalt he goes crazy this shows he has an angry side to which when is unleashed is fierce

       The effect of opening act 1 scene 5 with the servants is to it show power of Capulet’s and contrast of characters speech. It helps to create the atmosphere and shows contrastry. Shakespeare wrote these things to catch the reader’s attention he inserts words and phrases that make it irresistible Shakespeare uses strong language which he shows using prose all this comes together and we are immediately drawn in just the effect Shakespeare wanted to have.

       To me act 1 scene 5 is about a teenager who finally finds love from his heart he thought he loved before this but it turned out to be only love from the eyes. He no’s that Juliet is the one for him the minuet he sets his eyes on her but he is hit hard when he finds out that she is a Capulet this puts a dent in his confidence but it doesn’t stop him he is over the moon when he find out that Juliet feels same. They don’t know how it’s going to work though as there families hate each others guts. I like this scene in the book I think that it is one of the better scenes as u really see the true sides of Romeo and Juliet.
