Religion also played an important role in this play. Because Verona is in Italy and will therefore have a very traditional view on things, but even friar Lawrence helped the couple meaning that they are destined to be together.
The setting of this scene creates suspense because it is a Sunday night, and darkness with the moon is usually associated with danger and mysterious. The audience will fear tense because Romeo went to see Juliet and he cannot be seen by anyone. But when Romeo and Juliet confess their love, the audience would feel tense and romantic.
