The most significant writer in all of English literature William Shakespeare was born in 1564 to a glove maker in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. Shakespeare attended grammar school in 1582, then married an older woman named Anne Hathaway and had 3 children with her. Around 1590 he left his family and went to London to work as an artist and playwright, where he became part-time owner of the Globe Theatre. His career spanned the reigns of Elizabeth II and James II. It was a favorite of both royals. William Shakespeare is the best playwright in the world because he creates an atmosphere of tension and excitement in act 3 scene 1 by using wordplay, contrasting people and using different languages. William Shakespeare embraces social and chronological context by taking history and poems from contrasting people for example the poetry of Arthur Brooke, the tragic story of Romeus and Juliet, witnessed in 1562 by 13 centaurs fighting with the Montague and Capellet families. Romeo formerly known as Romeus is a Montague, now recognized as a Montague, Juliet is a Capelleti now known as Capulet. Both families are rivals with each other and only care about their importance and civility. In act 3 scene 1 it shows numerous signs of language such as repetition such as the word "Hot" for example when Benvolio speaks to Mercutuio "Please, good Mercutio, let us retire because the day is hot". The emphasis on repetition also makes us understand better what is happening, for example he is saying that it is hot. When Shakespeare begins with Benvolio, I pray thee, good Mercutio, let us retire, the day is hot, the Capulets are abroad, and if we met we should not escape a brawl, for now, in these hot days, the blood is stirring . Right there... in the center of the paper... I'm filling it in. William Shakespeare is a genius at writing Romeo and Juliet because he captured humanity so well that even centuries after his death, thousands of people read his work for pleasure and some for the conscience, others try to understand what kind of person Shakespeare was. I think Shakespeare creates an atmosphere of tension and excitement by using 3 different devices of fate, love and violence in act 3 scene 1, always changing the moods he starts with with his characters in a gentle mood and pleasant by making Mercutio approach Benvolio, in the middle the climax changes as there is a fight, at the end Shakespeare changes the atmosphere to sadness and also made this scene great as Shakespeare uses moral for example one of these can be Don't keep secrets from loved ones or enemies, even if it's for the good.
