Best Answer

The fight in Act 3 Scene 1 ensures that Romeo may not live in Verona. Therefore the couple will be separated and will not be able to communicate. This is essential to enable the plot to progress as it does when the real plot kicker happens--Capulet's plan to marry Juliet to Paris. Once Capulet does this, Juliet must try to think of some way to avoid committing bigamy, and the events of this scene severely limit her options, by putting Romeo where she cannot consult with him and by incensing Juliet's mother against Romeo, thus making the idea of revealing the secret marriage to the Capulets unattractive.

What does romeo compare Juliet to in scene 1?

Romeo's single line in this scene is: "Can I go forward when my heart is here? Then back, dull earth, and find thy centre out." Arguably the words "my heart" could refer to Juliet, although he is not talking about Juliet, the girl who is external to him, but of his need to be with her, his desire for her. Romeo places this need at the heart or centre of his being, and says that it is permanently where she is, and that he must move his body, the "dull earth" to where his "centre" is. It's all about Romeo not about Juliet.


Who is Juliet waiting for in act 2 scene 5?

I suppose you mean Act 2 Scene 5 where Juliet is waiting for the nurse to come back. In Act 4 Scene 5 she is waiting for the potion to wear off so she'll wake up. Act 3 Scene 5 is a busy scene with not much time in it for waiting. In Act 1 Scene 5 Juliet is waiting for Romeo to kiss her when she says, "Saints do not move, but grant for prayers' sake."
