It is at this point where desperation sets for Juliet because she realizes that she is on the verge of marrying Paris. In order to stop the wedding she claims she will commit suicide but Friar instead tells her to take a potion that will make her look dead so the wedding will not happen.

“To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter” (Euripides). In Act Three, Scene Five of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet, the father of Juliet, learns that Juliet did not want to get married to Paris. In this monologue, he insults Juliet for thinking about turning down the offer and gives reasons on why she should accept the marriage.

This passage occurs in Act Three, Scene One. At the time of this quote, Mercutio is speaking directly to Romeo and Benvolio as they are the two characters physically with Mercutio at the time. However, the speech was intended for the houses of both Montague and Capulet as they had made a fool of him enough to result in his untimely death. Tybalt disrupted Mercutio and Benvolio in search of Romeo as Tybalt had the intent to fight him. However, Mercutio continued to make vulgar remarks towards Tybalt until eventually causing a fight of their own.
I very much enjoyed what has been occurring in Acts I and II of Romeo and Juliet. These two acts really emphasize what will happen in the rest of the story. To begin with , Act I starts of with the two guys of the Montague home who seem to be discussing how they are going to get their problems situated with the Capulet family. I don't feel that it was right to start the story off with this. However , when the two gentlemen are arguing , they do introduce some of the story's conflict like for example; the fact that the Montague and Capulet families are in a feud.

There are many events during Act 3, Scene 1 but a particular aspect that outlines drama and suspension was the dramatic irony and Shakespeare’s crafty input of foreshadowing as both Tybalt and Mercutio are slain. Evidence from the text, a statement made by Romeo is, “This shall determine that,” which commence a duel between Romeo and Tybalt over Mercutio’s death; and Tybalt falls. As Tybalt dies, the audience know something that the rest of the characters on the stage do not. As Romeo has killed his wife’s cousin, the drama increases and their marriage is foreshadowed to result unhappily. As well as the death of Tybalt, the death of Mercutio who was the unofficial comedian in Romeo’s group of friends and a well liked character, the audience realise that all the light heartedness dies along with him.

The One That Ended Two Sometimes finding out who the killer is turns out to be is easier as expected, but mostly it’s overly complicated. It will have to take more thought if they didn’t directly kill them and had no motive to do so. But in the case of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare there are a few major characters that could have caused their demise to be early such as the Friar of Verona and Juliet’s Nurse.

Mercutio shouts something unhearable and makes his way to the table of luxurious wines and liquors.
In this scene, this is right after Juliet bid her goodbyes and farewells to her secret husband, Romeo, before he was to leave Verona for good. Since our interpretation of the scene is set in modern times, meaning 2017, the scene shall open up with Juliet laying on a bed in pajamas. She will have her phone in her hand, texting ‘Romeo’ a bunch of ‘I’ll miss you’s and the like, depicting a typical teenager nowadays. This helps bring the audience to the present time, mainly because they didn’t have that type of technology nor communication in the late 1500’s.
