romeo and juliet act 3

Tone refers to the

feelings and emotions that accompany the words

In his long speech to Romeo, Friar Lawrence mentions three things for which Romeo should consider himself fortunate. What are they?

-He says that Romeo should be happy that he was banished, not killed. -He also says that he should be fortunate Juliet is alive. -Finally, he should be happy because Romeo is alive.

In Act 1, Lord Capulet said that Paris had to win Juliet's consent to marry. Why do you think he now agrees to Paris' request without Juliet's approval?

He just wants his daughter to be happy. I believe that deep down he has good intentions, even though he was being mean to Juliet.// maybe he was trying to distract people from the feud

Do you think that Romeo is a victim of fate or are these events his own fault? Explain.

I think that Romeo's outcome is his own fault. If he hadn't switched over to Juliet, gotten married, or killed Tybalt, none of this would be happening.

Where is there dramatic irony in this scene?

In scene 2, we know that Romeo killed Mercutio, but Juliet doesn't know//Juliet's mom thinks she's crying bc of mercutio's death, but she's actually crying because of romeo.

What is Juliet's tone while talking to Lord and Lady Capulet? How do you know?

Juliet's tone is desperation. At first, when she was talking to Lady Capulet, she was hopeful, but that quickly turned into fear and disappointment when her father joined the convo. (two-faced)

Contrast Juliet's lines to the nurse when her parents leave the room (O God! - O nurse ...) with her lines at the end of the scene after the nurse leaves the room (Ancient damnation ... ) How is the tone different in these two passages? Why do you think the tone changed?

Juliet's tone went from slightly hopeful, thinking that the nurse would help her meet Romeo again to sadness and hopelessness. When the nurse says to forget about Romeo, she feels upset because the nurse was there for her all along, supporting her relationship, but now she changed sides. The tone changed because Juliet doesn't have anyone close to her on her side anymore.

Summarize the rest of scene v. What happens during Juliet's conversation with Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, and the nurse? What change do you see in the nurse?

Lady Capulet was talking to Juliet about the marriage, obviously Juliet was upset. Then, Lord Capulet and the nurse walk in. Lord Capulet starts insulting Juliet, calling her ungrateful. Even the nurse is on her parents side. At first the nurse was all for Juliet being with Romeo, but now she's being realistic and is telling Juliet to marry Paris because she wants Juliet to be happy. Instead of lady capulet benig nice, she says crying is stupid.

How does Lord Capulet's tone change when he finds out that Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris?

Lord Capulet goes from a father that defended his daughter to insulting her. He immediately changed tones because Juliet didn't want to marry Paris.

As Romeo leaves, Juliet has a feeling of doom. What does Juliet see that frightens her?

Romeo is dead in a tomb, he looks so pale he should be in the bottom of a tomb.

Why does Romeo refuse to fight Tybalt?

Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt because he married Juliet and now they are related by law. They are family.

Why does Romeo think banishment is worse than death?

Romeo thinks banishment is worse than death because he won't be able to see Juliet.

This day is Monday, Paris will wed Juliet on

Thursday

How is Tybalt killed?

Tybalt is killed by Romeo because Tybalt killed Mercutio. He dies while fighting Romeo.

What happens when Romeo tries to stop the fight?

When Romeo tries to stop the fight, Tybalt reaches under Romeo's arm and stabs Mercutio.

A plague O' both your houses! Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a cat to scratch a man to death! A braggart, a rogue, a villain that fights by the book of arithmetic! Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm.

mercutio - romeo and tybalt He's telling Tybalt and Romeo how both of their houses' feud is the reason why he is dying, blaming more on Romeo.

Thou canst not speak of that thou does not feel. Wert thou as young as I, Juliet they love, An hour but married, Tybalt murdered, Doting like me, and like me banished, Then mightst thou speak, then mightst thou tear they hair And fall upon the ground, as I do now, Taking the measure of an unmade grave.

romeo - friar lawrence Romeo is saying to Friar Lawrence that you can't talk about something you don't feel. What Romeo is trying to do is when he's talking to Friar Lawrence, he's trying to put him in his own shoes. He's trying to prove a point, showing how sad/depressed he is. (don't talk to me about things you don't know about)

I do protest I never injured thee, But love thee better than though canst devise, Till thou shalt know the reason of my love. And so, good Capulet - which name I tender as dearly as my own - be satisfied.

romeo - tybalt Romeo is trying to hint at Tybalt that there's a reason why he's not fighting him. Since Romeo married Juliet, Tybalt is now family to him, therefore he doesn't want to fight him.
