Act 2 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
In this essay I am going to describe how I want characters to dress
and act in Act 2 Scene 5, I will also describe the setting e.g.
lighting, stage, objects, etc. I will also briefly go over the story
up to Act 2 Scene 5 then I will explain how I want Act 2 Scene 5 to be
acted out and what I want the actors to wear.
The origin of the feud is not made clear but has no relevance to the
events in the play Romeo and Juliet are a pair of star crossed lovers,
they are victims of circumstances effected by things beyond their
control. Unfortunately the ancient grudge, accidents and
misunderstandings lead to their tragedy.
This play begins with a confrontation between the servants of the two
families. Shakespeare introduces love, anger, vulgarity, crudeness and
violence all in Act 1. Shakespeare brings in the prince, who
represents the role of justice, and in his speech says it is pointless
fighting, it is disrupting social life of the city and he threatens
death to anyone who fights again.
All the characters appear and the scene is set for the two main
characters Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. Benvolio speaks of
sunlight; secrets and silence, these ideas and images accompany Romeo
and Juliet in the play, which Shakespeare uses to create a deliberate
mood of love around the lovers. "The shady curtains from Aurora's bed,
locks fair daylight out, and makes himself an artificial night".
Real love "locks daylight out" represents the eternal darkness of the
tomb. Montague's speech serves to set their love story against the
backdrop of superstition, great legends and irresistible power of
fate. Romeo's speeches mix love with hate, it is confused speeches
showing images of chaos, where life is seen as death and death is seen
as light. "O brawling love, O brawling hate".
Mercutio's long speech about dreams in Act one Scene four eases the
tension before Romeo and Juliet meet.

Act One of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare The play Romeo and Juliet is set in "fair Verona" in Italy. Shakespeare based his play on a poem by Brooke and brought it to the theatres in 1595. Although the play is set in Italy many things mentioned could be found in Elizabethan England, for example the Capulet's party. This suggests to me that Shakespeare had little knowledge of Italian life and culture.

Act 3 Scene I of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Before Act 3 scene i we know that there are two feuding families, the Capulets and the Montagues. The audience has been told at the start that to resolve this dispute their children, two innocent lovers, must die. The Prince had explicitly told the family that if there is another brawl their ‘lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace’. Romeo a Montague went unwelcome to the Capulets’ ball. Tybalt, a nephew of old Capulet noticed Romeo.
Act 3 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet There are several strong cases for Act 3 scene 5 being the pivotal, most important and significant scene in the play. To begin with, it is the last time that Romeo and Juliet are together, alive and well, after this scene Romeo goes to Manchua, and returns only to be near Juliet to die. Until this scene the audience will be convinced that Juliet has a very strong relationship with Nurse, they are obviously a lot closer than Juliet and her mother are, and Juliet relies on Nurse for advice and support. During Art three scene five, the audience's perception of Nurse changes, and Juliet no longer looks to her for support.
Act 3 Scene 3 Of Romeo And Juliet by William Shakespeare Act 3 Scene 3 is a perfect example of Romeo's despondent persona. The events that take place in Friar Laurence's cell occur right after Romeo's marriage to Juliet. Romeo's devastation by the news that he is to be banished from Verona after murdering Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, had led him to seek guidance from Friar Laurence. Although this may seem understandable, Romeo is melodramatic and gives the impression that he is an over-the-top teenager. He illustrates this when he says; "Ha, banishment!
The main scene I have picked to discuss is Act five Scene one. At the
