How Shakespeare Presents Love and the Problems of Love in Romeo and Juliet With particular focus on act 1 scene 5 and act 2 scene 2, show how Shakespeare presents love and the problems of love in Romeo and Juliet. In the book Romeo and Juliet we look at the love and passion between Romeo of the Montague house and Juliet of the Capulet house as well as the feud between the two houses. Act 1 scene 1: in act 1 scene 1 we see servants of the Capulet house and Montague house quarrel in this instance the feud is introduced as well as demonstrated. Shakespeare tries to help the audience to understand the complicity of the feud as it later causes numerous deaths. Later on in the scene Benvolio comes in and tries to keep the peace as he says “part fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do” and at saying this he beats down there swords which shows us that Benvolio doesn’t want to start a brawl between the two houses but then Tybalt comes in and starts to provoke Benvolio and the servants and when Benvolio starts talking of putting away there swords and parting Tybalt replies “what! Drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montague’s, and thee. Have at thee coward!” which proves to us that Tybalt is more committed to the feud then Benvolio and the Montague’s. Act 1 scene 5: in this act we look at how Romeo goes to the great feast in the household of the Capulet’s. We first look at how the servants are in a scurry to get everything right for the masked ball. Then Tybalt recognizes Romeo and wants to again uphold the feud saying “uncle, this is a Montague, our foe. A villain that is hither come in spite to scorn at our solemnity this night” which proves to us again the problem that Romeo and Juliet are going to have later on in the story because of this feud. After Tybalt is calmed down Romeo for the
In act 1 scene 1, the characters are all individual and unique. Shakespeare has written this scene so that it starts from the lowest rank in the families, the servants, to the highest, the lords. By doing this, he has made the audience aware of the fact that everyone who is part of the families is also part of the battle. During this scene, we come across important characters these include: Benvolio, Tybalt, Lord Montague, Lord Capulet, Prince Escales and Romeo. Shakespeare has used the characters names to tell us what to expect them to be like for the rest of the life. The name Benvolio means good will, from this you can expect Benvolio not be involved in the battle. You can see this when he says “Part, fools! Put up your swords, you know not what you do”. The name Tybalt means tyrant this makes you expect him to be a cruel person. You can also see this when he says “What drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montague’s and thee”. Prince Escales plays a big role in act 1 because he is the representation of law and order. If you remove the letter E from his name it spells scales this gives evidence that the Prince wants things to be balanced and he is serious. You can see this when he says “If ever you disturb our streets again. Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace”. For most c...

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the views of love held by the character Romeo contrast sharply with the views of Mercutio. Romeo's character seems to suffer from a type of manic depression. He is in love with his sadness, quickly enraptured and easily crushed again on a passionate roller coaster of emotion. Mercutio, by contrast is much more practical and level headed. His perceptions are clear and quick, characterized by precise thought and careful evaluation. Romeo, true to his character begins his appearance in the play by wallowing in his depression over Rosaline who does not return his love:
