He is now angry with Tybalt and wants revenge. ‘Fire-eyed fury be my conduct now.’ Romeos change in mood is significant as it leads to the death of Tybalt and Romeo being banished . Shakespeare also uses dramatic irony to make Act 3 Scene 1 such an intense and significant scene. When Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt all the other characters are confused as to why. ‘Good Capulet, which name I tender as dearly as my own.’ The audience know the reason why Romeo won’t fight Tybalt, which is because Romeo and Juliet are now married.
The reason for this is to make it like what people would do in modern times. Another difference is the scene changes. In the Zefferelli version, Tybalt, Romeo, and Mercutio are taunting each other and playing around. After Tybalt stabs Mercutio he didn’t think he actually hurt him and everyone thought he was just playing around and faking an injury to make fun of Tybalt. In the modern version, Mercutio and Romeo are clearly afraid of Tybalt.
Romeo decided that he was in love with Juliet upon sight without knowing who she was (Shakespeare 924). This was a terrible choice Romeo had literally no idea who she was and this could have stopped the whole conflict of the play. Romeo then ignored his dreams which he believed told his destiny (Shakespeare 921-1009). While if Romeo listened to these dreams which he believed told the future he would have been much more cautious because he would know that he was going to die prematurely. Also, by him listening to his dreams he would have made either little or no poor choices later in the play which results in his death.
The audience realizes that his 'infirmity' is actually because of something important and would cause pandemonium to the people around him. This literary device used by Shakespeare gives a sense of irony, or humor to the
However the feud made their love grow stronger and last more than a lifetime. Shakespeare uses the feud to structure the whole play e.g. the characters dislike each other due to the feud which leads to death. Shakespeare was right to choose feud to overcome love as feud brings more out of the audience; it makes them draw in e.g. Tybalt and Benvolio fighting draws the audience in to see who would win.
At the start, Mercutio is outwardly wondering where Romeo is, showing that he likes to be in control of his friends. In the Franco Zeffirelli film, Mercutio tries to act indifferently, whereas Baz Luherman’s Mercutio is openly annoyed and concerned. In both film versions Mercutio ignores Romeo by turning and walking away from him, making Romeo follow. In Franco Zeffirelli’s film, Mercutio demonstrates his acting skills by pretending to be an exaggerated old man. The two friends start teasing each other, using puns and sexual innuendos such as “... constrains a man to bow in the hams.” this is hinting that Romeo got a sexually transmitted disease that night, also a pun for curtsey.
Hamlet and Claudius contradict one another in a variety of ways making them enemies throughout the play. Prince Hamlet is perceived as the protagonist in the play for many reasons, one of them being because he displays an elegant intensity in everything he does, making him very amiable to the audience. When Hamlet is truly indecisive, brutal, revengeful, and hateful. When Hamlet speaks to others, his words are thought out to be hurtful to whomever he is speaking to. “You should not have believ'd me, for virtue cannot so inoculate our old stock but we shall relish of it.
It is important this is revealed before the scene as it creates dramatic irony because the audience knows such a significant detail of the play, yet Juliet doesn't, even though it's her getting married. Shakespeare uses the contrast between love and hate to add tension to the scene, like when Capulet clashes with a distraught Juliet after she refuses to marry Paris. Shakespeare structures this scene to create dramatic tension. Romeo, Capulet, Lady Capulet and the Nurse all make entrances or exits which leads to a chaotic and panicky sort of atmosphere. The audience emotions would be changing constantly because everyone who enters the scene has something important to say that could potentially change the course of the play.
This, hopefully would have resulted in him not killing Tybalt. People could argue that Romeo only killed Tybalt simply because of his bad temper. A reason to support the view stating Romeo is fortunes fool and this bad act was destined to happen is the fact that Romeo is a Montague and Tybalt is a Capulet. This shows us that Romeo was born into bad luck, as both the families had always been rivals. Romeo and Tybalt are unable to prevent being born into these families, stating Romeo and Tybalt only fought considering that they were both born into families which had forever been enemies making Romeo bound to have killed Tybalt, or death could have easily occurred the other way round.
The Negative Affects To Impulsive Behaviors In Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, Leonato’s quick judgments result in a great deal of unnecessary confusion and turmoil. Leonato’s impulsive disposition gets him into many predicaments over the course of the play. Unfortunately, individuals who rush to conclusions often make flawed decisions and do not think about the awful consequences that follow their premature actions. Leonato’s erroneous habit of making false accusations gets him into trouble when he believes that Don Pedro wants to woo Hero, he dismisses Dogberry, and he assumes Hero’s guilt and feels as though she should die for her costly sin. Out of excitement, the beginnings of Leonato’s hasty actions are first exhibited in Act I, Scene II, when Leonato suspects that Don Pedro will be wooing Hero for himself, when in actuality, he will be wooing her in the name of Claudio Once Antonio informs him of this news, Leonato immediately jumps to conclusions and calls his men to seize Hero and inform her of the miraculous news he has to share with her.
