Drama in Act 1 Scene 5 and Act 3 Scene 1 of William Shakespeares Romeo

childs play in Act 1 Scene 5 and Act 3 Scene 1 of William Shakespe ars Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is centred around three main themes. The love among Romeo and Juliet combined with the hatred between their families. Romeo and Juliet is also about fate and destiny. In the prologue Romeo and Juliet are referred to as a pair of star-crossed lovers. These themes are all nigh linked and have consequences which eventually result in Romeo and Juliets deaths. The chosen word-paintings are the most important in the play. The actions in these scenes bring to pass a parcel out of tension and are central to the plot. In the first scene Tybalt is give a reason to want to fight Romeo. Romeo and Juliet meet for the first succession and instantly fall in love, only to be driven unconnected in the second scene when Romeo is banished as a consequence of a fight this is immediately after they have secretly married. These scenes are nigh linked, as the main act ion in act 3 scene 1 is a direct consequence of something which happened in act 1 scene 5.Shakespeare is a skilful dramatist. In the scenes he uses contrasting shipway of gripping the audiences attention. Shakespeare uses a fast moving plot of only iv days he consciously shortened the source material to create effect. This makes it easier to act out as well as creating more drama. It shows how loving Romeo and Juliet are. The shortened plot grips the audiences attention as at that place is eer something of quest happening. The audience are shocked at how quickly things happen there is always indecision as to what will happen next. Shakespeare has given legal opinion to the position of act 1 scene 5 he c... ...acle and creates hammy irony. This helps the audience feel involved as they have information the characters dont and it creates hesitancy as we wait for the characters to find out what we already know. Shakespeare creates tension and misgiving throughout the whole play. This means we are constantly gripped and there is always something happening. This is helped by the fast moving plot which Shakespeare conscientiously created. Tension and suspense is a key aspect to the two key scenes and I see Shakespeare creates a lot of it and in an effective way. Shakespeare also very smartly bases the two pivotal scenes around opposing themes which is dramatic in its throw form. Overall I feel Shakespeare is a very skilful dramatist and knows how to grip the audiences attention using a variety of techniques, in contrasting ways.
