Why did Shakespeare have Romeo and Juliet get married so early in the play?
That got married in the play so early because the major conflict of the play revolves around how they are going to get together after they are married. The actual marriage scene is not shown because the marriage itself is not important. The importance lies with what they do after the marriage. Also, adding an unnecessary scene with definitely cause a higher production cost (yes, even in Shakespeare’s time) and the actors will need to memorize more lines.
