In this essay I am going to explain the importance of Act 3 Scene 1 in Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet. I am also going to explain how the scene is pivotal.

The nurse cares a lot about Juliet getting married and having babies she says, “woman grow by men”, she jokes about sex “thou wilt fall backwards when hast more wit”. ... The bawdy humour continues into Act 3 Scene 1 and stops when Mercutio dies. At the beginning of the scene Mercutio and Tybalt accuse each other of being homosexual. ... When watching the modern version of Romeo and Juliet on video, Act 3 Scene 1 started of with a lot of comedy.
