Answer: by showing how unaware Peter is to others’ grief

Explanation:

After the Nurse and everyone else find Juliet (seemingly) dead, the Nurse agrees with the First Musician to stop the music and have them leave with their instruments. However, while the musicians prepare to leave, Peter gets in and commands they play a song for him, disregarding the tone of the situation, and creating a comic relief.
