How does Shakespeare create tension in this scene? The comic relief of the Nurse's entrance is so short-lived that it puts the audience on edge when she exits. Romeo's statement that in staying to speak to Juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. The physical placement of the scene on the balcony makes the lovers' position look dangerous. Juliet seems so innocent of the danger that she makes the audience feel the danger on her behalf.

    Shakespeare creates tension in this scene by making the readers think that Romeo's life is at risk.

    Explanation:

    In this scene we can see how tension is generated as Romeo wants to visit his beloved and talk to her despite the fact that this puts his life at risk. Because if someone from her family sees it, they could kill him. Remember that both families hated each other to death.

    This generates that we as readers also worry, since we do not know what will happen if someone sees him. Even more tension is created by putting Juliet in such an innocent role, and without being cautious. This causes the reader to feel more worried.
