Romeo & Juliet
Dramatic Tension is the feeling established within an audience on the obstacle courses of a character within a play. It is created in many ways such as personification, speaking metaphorically, talking with alliteration etc. In Romeo and Juliet's case dramatic tension is the feeling of tension created in the audience by the challenges faced by both of them in their efforts to stay together. Dramatic Tension is used so that the audience stays interested in the play. The scenes where Romeo and Juliet meet are significant to my essay because there is a very high amount of dramatic tension in those sections of the play.
In Act1 Scene5 the banquet hall, there is a lot of dramatic tension in it. Some parts of the scene which I think are important is when Juliet and Romeo speak to each other for the first time.
" If I profane with my unworthiest hand"
Firstly you have to look back to when Tybalt speaks about vengeance which is already causing some type of tension, Romeo walks right into talking to Juliet, showing his guts with women, there is a sense of dramatic irony in that section because we know that they are rival families while they do not.
Now in the quote he is saying that he is dishonouring her with his unworthiest hand. I think this means that he wants to touch her, but thinks he is not worthy to do so . It is also the beginning of a sonnet.
