Romeo and Juliet

night together and Romeo has to leave Juliet’s house early in the morning, before he is found and killed. Juliet doesn’t want Romeo to leave and tells him that it wasn’t the lark, it was the nightingale. Romeo is persuaded by this and says “Let me be ta’en, let me be put to death. Juliet wills it, so I am content.” Then after these lines are said by Romeo, Juliet alters her mind and persuades Romeo that is was the lark that “sings so out of tune” and tells him to leave before he is found and killed. We feel sympathy for Juliet in this scene because she is stuck in a dilemma between Romeo and her family.Romeo has just escaped from Juliet’s house when Lady Capulet walks in to Juliet’s room, Juliet is crying because she knows she may never see Romeo again. Juliet lies to her Mother and tells her she is crying over Tybalt’s death.When Lord Capulet enters Juliet’s room he is in a good mood, as he doesn’t know Juliet has refused to marry Paris, he says “Wife, have you delivered our decree?” Lady Capulet replies “Ay, but she will none, she gives you thanks.” At this point Lord Capulets mood immediately changes and he fly’s into a temper. Lord Capulet starts to insult Juliet and calls her a “disobedient wretch” and saying “hang thee, young baggage” at this point the audience would feel sorry for Juliet as she is in a major dilemma between her husband and her family, she cannot tell her parents that she is married as the two families are feuding. In this period of time it would be hard for Juliet to have independence as it was a patriarchal society, this means what the father said, you had to do.When Juliet tries to get support from the nurse, all she says to her is “I think it is best you marry the county, o, he’s a lovely gentleman” At this point Juliet is in disbelief at the nurses word she says “Speakest thou from the heart?” At this point the audience feel sorry for Juliet as she is on her own, even the nurse thinks that she should marry Paris, and she is in love with Romeo. At the end of this scene Juliet says “I’ll to the friar, to know his remedy: If all else fail, myself have power to die.” His means she will go to the friar and ask what he thinks she should do, and if he says he thinks that she should marry Paris then she will kill herself if she can’t be with Romeo.I think that this is an important scene in the play, it has helped us feel sympathy for Juliet as she is in a dilemma. Her parents want her to marry Paris, when they don’t know she has married Romeo. When she refuses her Father starts to hit her. Act 3 Scene 5 is a vital scene in the play because it starts off all the trouble with Paris off. By the end of the scene we feel sorry for Juliet as she is so unhappy she is willing to die.
