It is at the end of this scene, in which Romeo and Juliet have first kissed and fallen in love, that they discover that their families are enemies of one another. That's a pretty tense moment. == Romeo and his mates have gatecrashed the ball wearing masks knowing that they are unwelcome guests and could be killed. That seems pretty tense to me.

∙ 13y agoIn Act III Scene I, Shakespeare begins with Benvolio:
"I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's retire. The day is hot, the Capulets abroad, And, if we meet, we shall not scape a brawl, For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring."
What Benvolio means is:
"Please Mercutio, let's go. It's hot, the Capulets are around, and if we meet them, there'll be a fight. This hot weather makes tempers flare!"
Right there, when Benvolio mentions a fight, you know something horrible is to happen in this act. Mercutio doesn't care, even when Tybalt appears. Mercutio actually challenges Tybalt to start a dual, or fight, with him. Mercutio doesn't care if the Prince catches them fighting because if a member of the Capulet or Montague family is caught fighting, they'll be put to death. It works, and Tybalt, unfortunately, kills Mercutio.
Additionally Shakespeare also builds up tension for
1) Forshadowing the deaths
2) The word quarrel is reapeated
3) Dramatic Irony

∙ 15y agoHe shows the hatred between the two opposing families of the story by making them fight. He then amplifies it by bringing in the Prince and having him command that the next time either family spills the blood of the other it would mean death for the perpatrator and quite possibly the entire family.

∙ 12y agoRomeo and Juliet begins in media res. This means that the scene starts in the middle of a conversation/action. As is the case with Romeo and Juliet, the first scene opens in a battle. This immediately grabs the attention of the audience since fight scenes are usually sources of suspense and capture the attention of the audience. Since the fight is between Montague and Capulet men, it is also the beginning of the action/feuding between the two families for the play which creates suspense since the audience waits and expects similar encounters to occur as the play progresses. The fight in scene one also gives the audience an understanding of the tension and hate that exists between these two families which guarantees suspense for the rest of the play.
