Examine Shakespeare's use of dramatic devices in Act 1, Scene 5 of Romeo & Juliet
. The effect of the insults is that it shows the historical culture of 15th century people . I believe that Shakespeare uses dramatic devices in an explosive way to shock the audience, as well as preparing them for an even bigger event . Without act 3 scene 1 a handful of the key events are lost; Mercutio’s death, Romeo change of character, breaking the tense atmosphere build up to the death of Romeo and Juliet, therefore the magnitude of act three scene one is crucial . There are a few too many mistakes made by the characters in Romeo and Juliet, but it’s not whether we make mistakes, it’s if we learn from them or not . Shakespeare wanted us to see the mistakes made in the play, and learn from them . Lessons like; let sleeping dogs lie which you could interpret as leave past quarrels in the past, or tell the truth, keeping secrets could kill ! The story of Romeo and Juliet can be related to the morals, in addition to today’s society . In the play the Montague and Capulet’s fight for no apparent reason, much like the modern world where war takes place and the reason for it is lost . We should learn to tell the truth before mis-understood perception takes place, and we regret the events that have take place .
