How does Shakespeare use threats to generate suspense in the first act of Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

Shakespeare creates tension in Macbeth in act 1 scene 1 by using stage direction to introduced to the audience into a dramatic opening as it set a weather of "thunder and lightening". this in the Shakespeare days suggest that the play is going to be scary and evil. the introduce of the three witches represent dark and evil play.

Answer 2

Shakespeare has created suspense in Act 1 as it will be nice to see that who will handle the property of Sir Rowland de Boys, whether Orlando and Oliver? It will also be nice to see that where does Rosalind goes after being sent to exile by Duke Fredrick.We will also see that if Celia and Rosalind will escape easily from the court and if they are able to flee away from the court,then Will Duke Fredrick will find them or not.Two of the main characters have gone to the forest of Arden.

Answer 3

The reader/viewer already knows from the prologue that Romeo and Juliet die, but the suspense is built because you go into the first act and don't know how it is going to happen. Romeo is lovesick (not for Juliet), and Paris wants to marry Juliet, and the Montagues and Capulets hate each other... so you wonder how is this going to work out?

Answer 4

Please identify which short scenes you mean. Play, Act and Scene please.

Answer 5

Shakespeare made the characters more secretive and had a few spying on each other.
