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 Paris. The reason this didn't make any sense
             to me was that, if she was going to take this posion in order to make people think she was
             died, why instead, just run off with Romeo and live happily ever after, instead of going
             through all of this trouble.
             As we all know, most of this scene is a love scene in which she felt so much
             sorrow for Tibalt, for which Romeo kills, and yet, we hear nothing ask from Juliet.
             Instead they make love and in the morning he takes off. Since this was oringinally a play,
             I find it hard to believe they made a scene out of this. Little is said before they make love
             and before you know it, the mornin...
