Show transcript
The conflict between the Montagues and Capulets comes to a head in Act III Scene 1. In this scene, Tybalt kills Mercutio and Romeo kills Tybalt in revenge, leading to his banishment from Verona. We can infer the meaning of Early Modern English when we know the meaning of certain key archaic terms. Lines in the original script also give us clues for how characters feel and think. When acting, we can show these emotions through our movements, tone of voice and body language.
