Analyze Shakespeare includes a humorous exchange between Peter and the musicians at the end of Act IV, right after Juliet’s family discovers her body. What is the impact of this choice on the audience? What message is conveyed by having a humorous scene immediately follow a tragic one ?
The dramatic device that Shakespeare used when he wrote the scene stated above, which takes place after one of the most tragic moments in the play is the comic relief that is letter D. I hope my answer helps you.
