Act 3, Scene 5: Everything Escalates


Prompt D

The story of the Montagues and the Capulets is like a bomb fuse. The fuse was lit back when the feud between the families started. It has continued to build up in events like Romeo crashing the ball, and the slaying of Mercurio and Tybalt. Then, the bomb explodes when Romeo and Juliet, the two stars of the play, are forced into separation and each must go down their own horrible paths. Just like the explosion of a bomb would have traumatic consequences on those impacted, Romeo and Juliet deal with aftermath. They both have horrible conditions upon their separation. Juliet receives awful treatment from her parents and is forced into marrying another, and Romeo must live in isolation.
