Overall Capulet is very welcoming to his guests and is a good host, as he wouldn’t let anything ruin his party not even his feud with the Montague’s.
The second character we meet within this scene is Tybalt. He presents himself as a follower and seems very impatient and high tempered this is especially obvious when he says, “patience perforce with wilful choler meeting makes my flesh tremble in their different greeting.” Also he seems to really hate Montagues and is really angry when he finds out there is one at the Capulet party. He is also very annoyed that Capulet won’t let him do any thing about it but he does as he is told, “it fits when such a villain is a guest, I’ll not endure him.”
Within the scene Tybalt is angry and it seems as though Capulet is really not taking much notice of what Tybalt is saying, Tybalt is annoyed about this because Tybalt is a follower and will do as he is told but he really wants to be a leader at this party we know this because he says “this intrusion shall now seeming sweet convert to bitt’rest gall.”
When Tybalt speaks to Capulet he seems to be a bit scared of Capulet as he listens to what Capulet tells him to do but also he seems to be a bit sarcastic towards him when he says “why uncle, ‘tis a shame” from this behaviour we can assume he thinks that Capulet is wrong and thinks he should “endure” Romeo because he says, “come hither covered with an antic face, to fleer and scorn at our solemnity.”
As the scene goes on Tybalt decides to just give up on trying to persuade Capulet that he should “endure” Romeo as his behaviour changes from aggressive, annoyed and angry to understanding when he has finished speaking with Capulet. We know this because at first Tybalt was saying, “This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy.” And after talking to Capulet he says “I will not endure him.”
Overall Tybalt is defiantly a follower to his family and their feud with the Montagues but also he seems to know where he stands nest to Capulet and knows when not to argue with him.
The third character we meet within this scene is Romeo. He presents himself has a heartbroken teenager that’s looking for love an example of this would be, “did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” Also he seems to be young but quite mature I think this because earlier on in the play when he is talking to Mercutio he seems to be playing with Mercutio’s words and is being quite sarcastic, in act 1 scene 5 he does the same sort of this with Juliet I think this because when Juliet says, “Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake.” And Romeo says, “Then move not while my prayers’ effect I take.”
Within the scene Romeo is trying to blend in at the party, and when he has seen Juliet he seems to forget about where he is. As Tybalt finds out that Romeo is there just after Romeo has seen Juliet. Romeo is really trying hard to forget about his past relationship with Rosalyn.
When Romeo speaks to Juliet he seems to be really happy compared to how he has been earlier in the play. It seems as though he has forgotten about everything that was making him upset and all he wanted to do was concentrate on was Juliet, like he didn’t care anymore about anything that had happened. Romeo and Juliet are constantly throughout their conversation playing with each others words. From this behaviour when can assume he feels comfortable and confident talking to Juliet I think this because as soon as he talks to her straight away he is trying to kiss her “my lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.”
As the scene goes on and Romeo finds out about Juliet being a Capulet he seems shocked and disappointed as if he now thinks that he wont have a chance with her. His behaviour changes very quickly from excited and happy when he finds out about Juliet. We know this because when he is talking to Juliet he says things like, “O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again” and when he knows that she is a Capulet he says, “O dear account! My life is my foe’s debt.”
Overall Romeo is quite happy but this is usually only when talking to Juliet otherwise he is quite sad.
The Last character we meet within this scene is Juliet. She presents herself as a young shy girl an example of this would be “Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand to much.” Also she appears to be a bit religious I think this because when she is talking to Romeo she talks about prayers’ and saints; “Ay, pilgrim lips that they must use in prayer.”
Within the scene Juliet is happy, like Romeo earlier on in the play she doesn’t seem as happy as she is at the party. She seems to be excited and pleased that she is with Romeo and happy that she has found someone near enough her own age at the party that she can talk to.
When Juliet speaks to Romeo she seems to be playing with Romeo, like she is teasing him to make him want to kiss he more I think the especially when she says, “Then have my lips the sin that they have took.” From this behaviour we can assume she feels comfortable around Romeo and likes speaking to him. When she speaks to the nurse she seems excited to tell the nurse about who she has met and wants the nurse to find out more about him, “go ask his name.” Juliet doesn’t understand how she can love families enemy I know this because she says, “My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late!”
As the scene goes on Juliet seems to be quite happy up until she finds out about Romeo being a Montague. Her behaviour changes drastically first of all she is playing around with Romeo and having fun but then when the nurse says about Romeo being a Montague Juliet seems to go upset just as Romeo did when he found out about her.
Overall Juliet is happy throughout the party its only when she finds out about Romeo which is right at the end of the scene that she becomes upset.
