How does Shakespeare make act 3 scene 1 dramatic?

Shakespeare creates act 3 scene 1 to be dramatically effective, by using dramatic irony, sympathetic background and other theatrical effects. A dramatic effect is something that is either emotional or sensational that creates tension and builds up a scene or event. Act 3 scene 1 is dramatically effect because it has emotional, sensational, climactic and thrilling events throughout.

Before the start of the scene their was two very significant events which have helped create tension, one of these events, the marriage of Romeo and Juliet is used to create dramatic irony as the only people to know about the wedding is themselves and the audience. Therefore the other characters don't know about it and this effect then allows the audience to visualise and wait with tense anticipation to find out what will happen and follow on from this huge event. The night before at the party causes plenty of anger and frustration for Tybalt this has effects on other characters as well
