How does Shakespeare develop the audience’s understanding of Juliet’s character and her predicament in Act 3 Scene 5?

At the start of III v when Juliet is talking to Romeo, Shakespeare shows their relationship with the use of natural imagery. For example he makes references to birds such as “Lark” and “Nightingale”. Shakespeare also uses natural locations such as “pomegranate tree” and “misty mountain tops”. The use of natural images is a metaphor for Romeo and Juliet’s love as it their love is natural and it was love at first sight. He also says in the prologue that they were “Star-crossed lovers” which means that their love was fate and that is was nature that dictated their love. .Shakespeare also uses the structure of the script to show the relationship between Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo: How is’t, my soul? Let’s talk, it is not day Juliet: It is, it is, hie hence, be gone, away! (III v 25, 26)

This symbolises how much Romeo and Juliet understand each other and how well they connect (They speak together and their conversations shows a structure). Shakespeare makes their relationship apparent through these techniques and it helps show how hard Romeo’s exile from Verona is going to be for Juliet after he leaves in the morning.

As Romeo’s leaving Juliet says:

“The window, let day in, and life out” (III v 41)

In this line Juliet is saying farewell to Romeo and she’s saying now that day has come and Romeo has to leave or he’ll die if someone finds him and that Romeo is life and he’s leaving so she now has no life. As Romeo is departing, Lady Capulet is about to enter her room as their on the balcony. At this stage Juliet sees Romeo as a pale corpse that lies in a tomb and Romeo tells her not to worry about it and they’ll see each other again. This is an ambiguous section of speech
