Romeo and Juliet
The end of scene v is designed to provide comic relief. Infer why Shakespeare closed the act this way.
Act 4
Act 4
I think the banter of musicians is meant for comic relief but also to show how the lower classes react to the tragedy of the nobility that they work for. As the scene progresses it becomes clear that the musicians do not really care too much Juliet dying rather than they are missing out on a job and a catered lunch.
