Act 1 scene 5 is the most important scene in Romeo and Juliet because it triggers off all the other events that lead to unfortunate disasters. A brief summary of act 1 scene 5 is that Lord Capulet hostess a party. Romeo decides to come to the party. Romeo sees Juliet and falls in love at first sight .Tybalt spots Romeo and tells Lord Capulet. Lord Capulet says “it not the place to fight and tells him to calm down”. Romeo and Juliet dance and share a sonnet. Romeo finds out that Juliet is a Capulet. Juliet finds out that Romeo is a Montague.

There are  range of characters in this scene are Lord Capulet who holds the party,Tybalt who’s god a bad temper Juliet’s cousin. Romeo and Juliet who fall in love, Nurse who works for the Caplet family.

At the beginning of the play the servants create a busting atmosphere Lord Capulet is very happy and welcomes the guests and then everyone’s is dancing. But then it goes sad when Juliet finds out Romeo is a Montague the son of her only enemy.

At beginning the servants create a atmosphere of preparation for the party, trying to get everything organised .Having servants shows that Lord Capulet is wealthy. Servants bustling about making it realistic look very effective.

Making it calm and later on in the scene, because it’s more busy, hectic later on.

It is a enjoyable part for Romeo and Juliet however after this everything ends up going wrong.

Capulet speeches are very warming and welcoming the atmosphere is happy. Capulet changes the tone of his voice when he talks to the servants, makes his voice stricter and when he talks to the gusts he sounds happy and cheerful. Capulet uses comic relief to his guests in this serious play also uses everyday language, the effect it has is making it very relaxed part of the play. Capulet and the servants help to create the atmosphere of a party. Capulet creates the atmosphere by welcoming everyone and telling them to dance also enjoy themselves being the host of the party “Welcome, gentlemen! Ladies that have toes unpaged with corns will walk about with you” makes it sound welcoming and friendly, hosting the party. The servants create the atmosphere by busting about trying to get everything ready by cleaning dishes, moving and setting everything round.” Where’s potpan”that he helps not to take away? He shifts a trencher? He scape a trencher? This language gives a effect that they are rushing around and are in a hurry. Trying to get everything ready for the party this creates the atmosphere of a party.
