Romeo and Juliet essay
I have been comparing differences in Romeo and Juliet, Act 1 Scene 5.
In the scene I am studding there is a lager social variety, there is a large range of importance, it's a sort of hierarchy, this occurs in both families. The kitchen servants are at the bottom running around getting everything sorted, slightly higher up is the nurse who ahs earnt respect from the family by caring for Juliet most of her life, she is more like a mother to Juliet rather than her real mother. At the very top of the hierarchy are the nobles, Capulet, Lady Capulet, Juliet and Tybalt have control over everyone lower than them in the hierarchy. The nobles are very rich, but the servants have to work for every penny.

"Can you love this gentle man?"
Tybalt is a young but is a strong character.
"I'll not endure him."
Shows that he is powerful but arrogant and hates all Montague.
