Romeo and Juliet

A detailed Summary of Romeo and Juliet

The scene I chose from "Romeo and Juliet" is Act 1, Scene 5. When first reading this

scene, I noticed it had many important events happen throughout this scene but really

none of what goes on, effects what happens in the play and many of it didn't need to be

there. It seemed almost like a filler which just made the scene drag on. In the following

paragraphs I am going to explain why at first view, I felt this scene had little relivence to

the play, but after examining it closer, I acually realized how important this scene really is.

After reading the play, I actually realized that this was one of the more important scenes

that occurs throughout the whole play and added to the development of the theme along

with developing of the characters.

I am going to start by telling how I viewed this scene at first glance. It seemed as

if this scene was very illrelivant to the story. The scene seemed to add really nothing to

the story and in fact actually made the story more confusing. The whole scene really

doesn't go with the plot at all. We see Juliet, who has only thought of Romeo throughout

the whole play, all the sudden decides to let Romeo leave her, in Verona, while even

finding out that she is going to be married to

pretends to agree to this advice, while deciding that the only person who can help her is

too Juliet misleads her. It is shocking to think that the Nurse cares more about Juliet

her parents to marry Paris, why not find Romeo and live in exile with him. She says, "If

than marry Paris, but why does she need to die when she has other options.

All of these reasons made this scene look at first glance ilirrelvant to the rest of the

already married. If you do this, you will certainly be go to Hell . And there is no way that

Romeo, whom you know I hate, rahter than Paris. These are news indeed." (III, V,

getting turning on Capulet, we should remember that arranged marriages are normal for

the play and one that took us to our second plot point of the play. After reading the

She has always seemed to care for Juliet and understand what matters to her. Now it

I find it hard to believe they made a scene out of this. Little is said before they make love

who in the past did not wish to marry her off . So now he feels he has spoiled her, and
