A Hilarious Scene in The Tragedy

Romeo and Juliet is a famous play, and almost every person knows it. Most people know the main characters, the ending and some of the dramatic scenes, however, only a few people know that there is an interesting woman in the play, the Nurse. My favorite play is neither dramatic nor well-known; it is just a normal conversation which happens to Juliet, her mother and the nurse. Her mother calls Juliet, and she tries to convince Juliet to marry Paris. However, the nurse keeps talking until Juliet stops her. I like scene three of act one, because it is so funny that I feel interesting but sad.

First of all, this scene is hilarious; it makes me laugh several times. In the scene, when Lady Capulet tries to talk to Juliet, she does not want the nurse to hear it, so she closes the door. However, she changes her mind immediately, therefore, she just opens the door again and lets the nurse come in. Since I started reading this book, this is the first time that I feel it is interesting, and I can picture the scene clearly in my mind. Also, it is so funny that the nurse just keeps talking and talking. After she says:“Peace. I have done. ”(line 64), she still cannot stop. It is so funny, because my grandmother is exactly like the nurse. Thus, when I read these lines, my grandmother came into my mind. I can picture the funny scene, and it makes me laugh. In summary, I like this funny scene; it is like a shiny and interesting star in the dark and heavy sky.

Secondly, it also makes me feel upset, because this scene is so warm that I do not even want to think about the ending. In this scene, the readers can see how much the nurse cares and loves Juliet. The nurse says: “God mark thee to his grace, Thou wast the prettiest babe that e’er I nursed. An I might live to see thee married once. I have my wish.” (line 64-67) I think her daughter might die in an accident, and she actually regards Juliet as her own daughter. She cares about Juliet, so as a mother, she would like to see Juliet marries to an outstanding man and gets happiness. The nurse has already lost many things, then she will lose Juliet, “the prettiest babe”. Juliet will die; it is so cruel for the nurse. The girl she nurses for years will perish, and nothing will be left, except memories. I feel so sad, and I do not even want to read the ending. Consequently, I like this scene, because I can truly feel the love of the nurse, and her love actually makes me feel sad.

 In conclusion, this scene seems like a normal and boring scene, but it expresses the true emotions from little details. These details remind me of my own experience, which is so funny. Also, the emotions are so true that I can even feel it through reading. How much the nurse loves Juliet is how much it hurts when Juliet is taken away; it makes me so sad. This scene describes some little things in Juliet’s life, nonetheless, these little details actually make readers feel the real emotions that the characters have.
