Shakespeare creates tension in act 3 scene 1, by pathetic fallacy which is when the mood reflects on the weather. A quotation describing pathetic fallacy is when Benvolio says:
“The day is hot the Capulet abroad, and, if we meet we shall not scrape a brawl: for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring”.
This also means that the weather in the play reflects on the mood because when it is hot people get angry quickly, this is why Benvolio wants to get out of where the Capulet’s are because if they don’t then they will have a fight in a public place and also Mercutio is excited and he will pick a fight (HE IS BEING SARCASTIC AND NOT SEROUS AND WINDS TYBALT UP).
The last time the Capulet’s and Montague’s had a fight in a public place the price said “If ever you disturb our streets again,
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace” he says this quote in act1 scene1.
This describes pathetic fallacy at the start of act 3 scene 1.
3. Tybalt hates the Montague’s and doesn’t listen to Benvolio when he says help me stop everyone Tybalt says “what drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montague’s and thee” Tybalt says this in act1 scene1.
Also in this scene the audience know that Mercutio is ready to fight Tybalt and don’t care if he comes, Mercutio says “By my heel, I care not.” He saying I’m not going to move .he says this to Benvolio, Benvolio wants to go but Mercutio doe not.
4. In this act Romeo don’t want to fight Tybalt but Mercutio raises the tension by starting a fight with Tybalt, Mercutio days “make it a word and a blow.” tension is raised by Mercutio and the audience know that there will be a fight because Tybalt if fiery and gets angry really quick.
In act 3 scene 1 Tybalt calls Romeo when he arrives Tybalt says” well, peace be with you, sir: here comes my man.” Tybalt is trying to say here come’s my servant.

The pace of action in the scene is changed really quickly from talking to fighting.
Romeo remind the characters or the princes warning Romeo says
“Draw, Benvolio; beat down their weapons.
Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this outrage!
Tybalt, Mercutio, the prince expressly hath
Forbidden bandying in Verona streets…”
in act 3 scene 1 tension is raised when Tybalt stabs Mercutio at first the audience may think that because he is still being sarcastic but when he says “ask for
me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man” it becomes obvious to the audience that Mercutio will die and then the audience get tense because Mercutio is the one who joke around. but when Mercutio says “A plague o' both your houses!” the tension adds in because the audience don’t know whether he is going to live or die, but Mercutio is trying to say a curse on both your houses/ families. And in that time the black plague was also out so it means he has put a curse on both of the Montague’s and Capulet.
The audience are shocked when Mercutio and Tybalt die. They were two of the main characters. When Romeo kills Tybalt lady Capulet demands to the prince for Romeo to be out to death but the prince says that one from each family has been killed so there is no point in killing Romeo because its even now, but the prince did banish Romeo from Verona.
7. At the end of the scene the audience may fell sorry for Romeo because they only know about the marriage and no other character knows expect Juliet and friar Lawrence. Romeo says “fortunes fool” he means fait has caused this to happen.
Conclusion
in my conclusion I think that in this scene dramatic irony was used, when are married but nobody knows this is when the tension is built up and also Tybalt wants to fight but Romeo doesn’t. in this scene there are 2 or more tragedies at once for example when Romeo killed Tybalt and also when he know that he was married to Juliet but no one know except the audience ,friar Lawrence and Juliet.
