Check my answer, ! read this on another romeo and juliet! it begins here with these lines and read through till: act iii. scene v. capulet's orchard. enter romeo and juliet aloft, at the window. juliet: wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day. it was the nightingale, and not the lark, that pierc’d the fearful hollow of thine ear. nightly she sings on yond pomegranate tree. believe me, love, it was the nightingale. romeo: it was the lark, the herald of the morn; no nightingale. look, love, what envious streaks do lace the severing clouds in yonder east. night’s candles are burnt out, and jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. i must be gone and live, or stay and die. juliet: yond light is not daylight; i know it, i. it is some meteor that the sun exhales to be to thee this night a torchbearer and light thee on the way to mantua. therefore stay yet; thou need’st not to be gone. *** continue to read on the seperate *** ends in these lines: juliet: now by saint peter’s church, and peter too, he shall not make me there a joyful bride! i wonder at this haste, that i must wed ere he that should be husband comes to woo. i pray you tell my lord and father, madam, i will not marry yet; and when i do, i swear it shall be romeo, whom you know i hate, rather than paris. these are news indeed! how does shakespeare create tension in this scene? romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. i chose this answer (a) the physical placement of the scene on the balcony makes the lovers' position look dangerous. juliet seems so innocent of the danger that she makes the audience feel the danger on her behalf. the comic relief of the nurse's entrance is so short-lived that it puts the audience on edge when she exits.
