Suspense In Romeo And Juliet

There’s many steps into making a fine play, the characters and choosing the right dialogue. Credibility is very important in working on a play because you have to be believable and convincing to the audience. The realistic of the play is what draws the audience. You also need to catch the people’s attention and keep the play moving. In order to intrigue your audience you have to write something that causes suspense.

Every play needs to have a conflict for it to become interesting for the audience. An example is when Hamlet feels a responsibility to avenge his father’s murder by his uncle Claudius, but Claudius is now the king and thus well protected. Moreover, Hamlet struggles with his doubts about whether he can trust the ghost and whether killing Claudius is the appropriate thing to do.
