What is the effect of shakespeare holding off introducing romeo until late in the scene?

The effect that the late introduction of Romeo has is that he has been built up by Shakespeare in the early parts of the scene as being miserable and not a confident man. Once Romeo is finally introduced he is presented with a sense of confidence and arrogance. This is to give the sense that Romeo may be misunderstood by others.

he is suggesting that this widow is a strong woman, who is giving constructive criticism and she has enough to worry about, and she takes care of him, so he does not take it to heart.

the third one.
