I need help with a Romeo and Juliet essay.

Im writing an essay on Romeo and Juliet and i need to write my conclusion- Please help? Few ideas?

• Right so basically I have to answer these two main questions for my conclusion. Why are act 1, scene 1 and act 3, scene 1 important in terms of tragedy and violence? How does one scene lead into another? I don't expect anyone to answer completely, but even if i get an idea on what to write it would be much appreciated.

• Answer:

  Well you can say that Act 1 scene 1 is important as it portrays how not only the Capulet and Montague family are involved in the family feud but also every member of society as shown in the exchange of violent language between the servants.( You can use a quote for this like:' therefore i will push Montague's men from the wall and thrust his maids to the wall' which means to have aggressive intercourse which is rape and violence).You can also link their violence to Shakespeare's view on violence.( Use the quote about biting thumb) . This suggests that they are cowards as this gesture in today's society is the middle finger. Shakespeare tells us that violence is futile and ridiculous. As for Act 3 scene 1 this is the fighting scene in Romeo and Juliet and it is key as Tybalt kills Mercutio wich results in Romeo killing Tybalt.( You can use the quote where Mercutio says a plague a'both your houses as this demonstrates how he wants to curse the families for the violence and blodshed they inflicted).In this scene Lady Capulet wants whoever is accountable for Tybalts death to die. She wants life for life. Hope I helped some. I did Romeo and Juliet for GCSE :))
