How does Shakespeare create tension in Act 3 Scene 5 Act 3 scene 5 starts off with Romeo and Juliet spending the night together, it is the day Romeo and Juliet know that they are going

The natural language used in this scene is to do with things that are outside. Some of these examples are "Nightly she sings on yound pomegranate tree" and another "Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops"

These quotations show the beauty of nature which is reflected in the beauty Romeo and Juliet see in each other.

In act 3 scene 5 Romeo an Juliet are sure they are going to be parted . Juliet knows the night has gone and now it is time for them top let go of each other.

"It is, It is. Hie hence, begone away. It is the lark that sings so out of tune".

Romeo and Juliet both realise that nothing is going to be forgotten of Tybalts death and there is no way that Romeo can stay in Verona he has to be banished.

The contrast between day and night and is one of the main lines in act 3 scene 5. In this scene the night means happiness for Romeo & Juliet. When the day comes their happiness will be ruined because he will be banished. This is a contrast to what is usually expected because normally day and lightness is the indication of goodness and dark and night is bad.

Juliet's premonition is what that when Romeo is leaving her bedroom window, she has a vision that Romeo is going to be dead and they will no longer be together, "And light thee on thy way to Mantua, Therefore stay yet: thou needst not to be gone" This is significant to the audience because we know Romeo dies at the end of the play. It also creates more tension because the audience are worrying in case the premonition comes true.

Romeo & Juliet think fate is one of their important factors, this is because they think something else is making them go forward, which is the destiny and the stars that is controlling them,

"O Fortune, fortune! All men call thee fickle, for then I hope thou wilt not keep him long, but send him back". They think that the stars are controlling them and whatever will happen will be done by them her fate will never be on their side it will be on the side opposite of them so that's why she calls fate fickle. Romeo thinks he is allowing fates hand to get him in trouble because earlier fate made him kill Tybalt. "shall give him an unaccustomed dram, That he shall soon keep Tybalt company.

In act 3 scene 5 Juliet uses double meaning , this means she says one thing but means another. "indeed I shall never be satisfied with Romeo till I behold him- dead- is my poor heart so for a kinsman vexed". In this quotation she says the whole sentence without pausing this affects the meaning . Her parents think she means that she cant wait to see Romeo dead for what he has done, but Juliet means that while she is without him her heart is dead.

Dramatic irony is used a lot in this scene , the meaning of this is when the audience know something that the characters don't. "now by St Peters church, and too, he shall not make me there a joyful bride". The audience know that her and Romeo got married in that church so if they marry their Juliet will go to hell.

Capulet goes really mad over his daughter because she is not doing what her father is telling her and because of this she is being shouted insults by her father "Out you green sickness carrion! Out you baggage! You tallow face!". Her father wants her to marry in a rich powerful family so they can share powers and pride, Lady Capulet has no say because that's what had happened to her she was forced into marrying Capulet because in those days girls or women had no say.

At the end of this scene changes in the nurse start to happen. At the beginning of the play she went with Romeo and Juliet when they married in the church but now she wants Juliet to do what her father says. "Romeo is banished, and all the world to nothing , that he daresne'er come back to challenge you, or if he do, it needs must be by stealth". She is doing this because if she does not agree with Capulet or Lady Capulet she could be fire or made homeless. She doesn't care what happens to Juliet if she goes to heaven or hell she just cares about herself and earning money. Juliet must feel like she is being betrayed by the one person she thought she could trust.

At the end of act 3 scene 5 Juliet is in a soliloquy the meaning of this is when someone talks to themselves and at the end Juliet is talking to herself "Ancient damnation! O most wicked fiend, is it more sin to wish me thus forsworn, or to dispraise my lord with that same tongue".
