Shakespeare Question.Romeo and Juliet?
Why did Shakespeare decide to use a comedic bit in the midst of such a somber point in the tale? Is there some sort of purpose?
Favorite Answer
2. She got to have a happy marriage bc she died young, if she died older her marriage would have had time to suck
quote: “she’s not well married that’s married long/ But she’s best married that dies married young”
3.they shouldn’t anger God by blaming Him for taking their daughter quote
” the heaven so low’r upon you some ill:/ Move them no more by crossing their high will.”
Why? The audience knows more than the characters, so these funny bits are entertaining because they know Juliet is not really dead. Plus it lets the mood stay less dark, so that when R&J finally are dead it is more powerful and sad. It juxtoposes the false death (funny) with the real death (tragic).
