so low as one dead in the tomb.” “Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth, lies festering in his shroud”. These quotes show how determined and scared she is.
The play is an oxymoron because two opposite have been used to show confusion e.g. “O brawling hate! Loving hate”. “My only love sprung from my only hate”. This quote shows that Juliet is confused because the only person she could love was from the family which her parents hate. The fact that the play is an oxymoron can be seen as Romeo loves Tybalt at start of scene and kills him at the end and Mercutio loves Romeo but curses him at the end.Mercutio fights hate because of the love he has for Romeo.
So we can see that Act 3 Scene1 is an important scene because it shows where the play changes from comedy to tragedy and its important because characters change. It’s also important because Shakespeare changes the language to show the difference in comedy and tragedy.
