87-93). The dramatic irony in the scene is that Lady Capulet is mourning over Tybalt but Juliet is mourning over Romeo. Juliet and the audience know this but Lady Capulet does not. Juliet starts to mess around with her mother by changing her words around to make it sound like she also wants Romeo dead, but actually wants to see him. Lady Capulet does, not notice what Juliet is doing, but the audiences does, thus creating dramatic irony in this scene.
Lady Capulet misinterprets Juliet’s reply. She thinks Juliet is saying that she will not be satisfied until Romeo is dead and until he is she will remain troubled and sorry for Tybalt’s death.
A similarity between the film and the play is the when Nurse calls from within at the balcony scene in Act II, scene ii. In this scene Nurse speeds along Juliet’s readiness to marry Romeo. By including this in the movie, Zeffirelli is illustrating the important patience theme that Shakespeare portrayed in the play. The patience theme is important to the story because if Romeo and Juliet had taken their relationship slower things might not have been so tragic. In contrast, a difference is when Juliet doesn’t threaten to kill herself with her knife in Friar‘s cell.
As soon as the nurse finds out that Tybalt is dead her reaction is very troubling and she doesn’t exactly know how to break it to Juliet so at the end result she says, “Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banished; Romeo that kill’d him, he is banished.” (3.2.69-70).

Romeo’s blamed for the death of Tybalt. Fat occurs again when Romeo comes to the understanding that Juliet is dead and he kills himself too. At the start of the play Romeo dreams that if he goes to
Lord Capulet wanted Juliet to marry Paris. Juliet was very upset and did not love Paris. In the play the Nurse said, “Then since the case so stands as now it doth, I think it is best you married with the county.” Although Romeo and Juliet would probably be alive if they took this advice, it is not right for
She believes Hermia to be worthy of Lysander’s love rather than herself. Hermia states in the play to Lysander “Who will not change a raven for a dove?” (2.2.113) Helena appears to be a woman who does not value herself. Helena shows to be a woman who has very low self-esteem. She belittles herself in many parts of the play. Even after Demetrius declared that he hated Helena and that she made him sick, she still did not realize that she was being mistreated.

Progress Influence Character Concern Juliet is concerned with her changing status—obedient daughter of the Capulets to wife of a rival Montague—her particular concern is, the way things are going (her family not aware of her marriage), she will soon find herself married off to Paris. Threat Influence Character Issue Juliet threatens Romeo’s relationship with his male friends: “Romeo is not really asked to choose between Juliet and his family but between Juliet and Mercutio, who are opposed in the play’s thematic structure” (Paster 261); Juliet “threatens suicide if Friar Lawrence cannot save her from marrying Paris” (Mowat and Werstine 176). Security Influence Character Counterpoint A child of her father’s house, Juliet only has security when she obeys the rules.
