Immediately before act 3 scene 1 Romeo and Juliet get married friar Lawrence the atmosphere at this part of the play is loving, calm and harmonious, however the atmosphere is the complete opposite at the beginning of act 3 scene 1, there is an atmosphere of passion, tension, anger and rebellion. We can tell this from the quote “mad blood stirring” this means that people are very angry and tempers are high, also this creates the impression that people are angry and ready to fight and that trouble is brewing and passions stirring, this makes the reader want to see what will happen next and leads them to believe that there is a bad, angry atmosphere. Shakespeare uses the weather to incorporate the tension through the stormy, humid atmosphere, this is called pathetic fallacy. The quote he uses is, “the day is hot”, this gives us the impression that the weather is hot and very stormy and so are tempers and feelings, which means tempers flare. This is a complete contrast of act 2 scene 6 because Romeo and Juliet get married by the friar when the audience would not even dream of any of the violence, destruction and death that would soon strike in Verona.
