Act 5 Scenes 1-3 : And They All Died Happily Ever After

PROMPT B

Romeo and Juliet's love is so strong that they feel that they can never live happily if the other is dead. When Romeo is informed of Juliet's first death by Balthasar, he is determined to die by her side with the help of a powerful poison. In turn, Juliet stabs herself in the chest to join Romeo after waking to find him lying dead. This reminds me very much of the relationship between two brothers on the show Supernatural. Dean and Sam Winchester have developed a close bond because their mother died when they were quite young and their father was always on business trips and left his children in various motels, so Dean practically raised Sam. Throughout the show, the brothers both die or almost die numerous times and are almost always brought back to life or health by the help of supernatural forces. The brothers are always willing to do whatever it takes to resurrect or save their brother. 

PROMPT C

Prince--why didn't you address the urgency between the Montagues and the Capulets sooner?

Romeo--why do you trust that Juliet is dead immediately?

Friar Lawrence--why didn't you inform Romeo of the plan before it was set in motion to avoid deadly confusion?

Paris--why are you so upset about Juliet's death? Why do you not want to be seen when placing flowers on Juliet's deathbed?

Montagues and Capulets--if you cannot recall why your families are blood enemies in the first place, then why do you continue to show hatred towards one another?

Act 5, endless love

( Prompt D ) The quote "I defy you stars" means that Romeo is still hoping to see Juliet. He knows that destiny is gonna bring them back together and if there was they were gonna live it happily. But when he heard the news that Juliet is dead he went in the chapel and drank the poison, to think that they are still lovers till eternity. But Juliet wakes up and sees Romeo lying in the ground not breathing, so she grabbed his knife and stabs herself.

( Prompt C )
Friar Lawrence-Why didn't you tell Romeo that it was just a foreplay?
Juliet-Why didn't you wake up earlier?
Romeo-Why did you kill yourself?
Lord Capulet-Do you think you're the one who is responsible for Romeo and Juliet's suicide?
Lord Montague-What do you feel about Romeo and Juliet's suicide?

Act 4, scene 4-5

(Prompt A) Act 4 continues with Juliet taking the sleeping pill and thinking about what if's, but she conquered her questionable thoughts and takes the pill anyway. When the nurse saw Juliet dead, the nurse called Lord and Lady Capulet to let them know that Juliet is dead. Peter, the Capulets peasant told the musicians to play a somewhat happy song but they resist and Peter walked away leaving the musicians wondering if they're gonna eat the food. But later on Romeo went and I'm gonna talk about that next entry.

( Prompt C )
Peter-Why are you not working for Montagues?
Nurse-Why don't you know this at the first place?
Lord Capulet-Do you think its your fault for the death of Romeo and Juliet?
Lady Capulet-Were you responsible for the death of Juliet?
Romeo-Why didn't you talk to Friar Lawrence?

Act 5: Communication is Key

1- Prompt B
I hear lots of people talking about how their dreams become a reality and how it's creepy (not specific to any person). It's very similar to the situation in the book. In scene 1, Romeo describes a dream he has where he is dead and Juliet kisses her. After that he is revived from it. Later, in scene 3, the exact dream happens, with the exception of Romeo being revived. Romeo kills himself with a potion and Juliet wakes up to find both Paris and Romeo dead in the tomb. She kisses Romeo in hopes of getting the same potion Romeo got but in the end she stabbed herself with a dagger.

2- Prompt D
"O churl, drunk all, and left no friendly drop"(p231). I found this quote interesting for the words used. Juliet says churl, which means selfish one. It makes nearly no sense for Juliet to call Romeo selfish for drinking all of the potion. Also, saying friendly drop is ironic; the poison is deadly, and completely the opposite of friendly. For her situation it could be "friendly" since she wants to die, and having a deadly potion would be helpful.

Romeo and Juliet: Act 5; Death and Tragedy

Prompt C:

Paris: Why would you not want to be seen when visiting Juliet's grave?
Friar Lawrence: How did you not know that Romeo could have heard about Juliet's death and thought it was real?
Paris: Why did you insist on arresting Romeo so badly?
Romeo: Why would you agree to place Paris' body next to Juliet when you love her?
Juliet: Why would you kill yourself just because Romeo is dead?
The Prince: Do you think the feud between the Capulets and Monatgues are finally over?

Prompt D:

In scene 5, act 3, the prince says, “a story of more woe / Than this of Juliet and her Romeo” (243). This speaks to the story as a whole, and the prince exclaims at how the relationship between Romeo and Juliet was such a tragedy. The relationship seemed doomed from the start, they were from different, feuding houses that have never gotten along. However, they still got married and secret, and things looked like they could work out. This hope is crushed when Tybalt kills Mercutio and Romeo kills Tybalt. Romeo gets banished, and it seems like his and Juliet's love wasn't going to work after all. However, Friar Lawrence thinks of a plan, albeit somewhat risky, that will finally reunite the couple for good. But, because of fate, the friar, or some other factor, the whole situation turns south, resulting in a lot of death. As the prince said, the story of Romeo and Juliet is the most woeful of all, because there were many times things looked like it could have possibly worked out. But in the end. tragedy occurred and made this story one of ultimate woe.

Act 5 : "you gave me a forever within number of days"

Prompt D :" I defy you stars".  This refers to fate. he believed that fate would bring Juliet in him together and that they were destined. Now that he thinks Juliet is dead, he doesn't believe in fate anymore. he decides hat he doesn't need fate anymore.

Prompt c:
Juliet_ you said you would rather die than marry paris right, even though romeo Is dead, would you consider running way alone instead of killing yourself?
Romeo- Why didn't you at least meet with frair before killing yourself?
Frair- D you feel party responsible for Romeo and Juliets deaths?
Everyone- Who do you think Is at blame the deaths?
Prince- Do you think if you had stop the fighting with the Caplets and Montague's sooner, Romeo ad Juliet would still be dead?

Prompt B :
In the fault in our Stars, there is a quote that says " and in the end we can blame the stars or tell ourselves that it wasn't meant t be, that it wasn't destined to happen. But deep down we now that the stars were not at fault and it wasn't ' meant to be'. The fault was in ourselves". This quote is very similar to when Romeo finds out Juliet is dead.  In the fault in our stars when (something I'm ot trying to spoil) happens they get upset and ask why me. Romeo asks the same thing and pretends to blame fate when really the problem was the feud between the two families and the poor execution of the plan.

Act 5 Endless Love Brings Tragedy

Prompt A
The scene opens with Romeo walking through the streets of Mantua contemplating his banishment and its effect on Juliet. One of his men comes in with news of Juliet's death and Romeo is stricken with grief. Romeo decides that he will kill himself too so that they can be at last reunited-- in death. He goes to the apothecary and forces the shop owner to sell him poison so that he may finally lay with his true love. When he enters the tomb, he speaks to Juliet and then he is confronted by County Paris, whom was also in the tomb looking at Juliet's body. Romeo begins to go a bit insane and duels with County Paris. He kills him, and then regrets it, because it was not until then that he realized who it was. He then goes to Juliet and proclaims his undying love for her, drinks the fatal poison, plants a kiss upon her lips, and slumps to the floor, dead. The friar comes in and sees the dead bodies and realizes the flaws in his plan. Juliet wakes up as he walks in, and after hearing of what happened to Romeo and hearing some Capulet men coming to the tomb, the Friar leaves and Juliet stabs herself to be dead with Romeo. The Capulet men find all the dead bodies and get the Prince, Montagues, and Capulets, and they find the Friar and one of Romeo's men near the time. When the families and the Prince arrive, the Friar explains what happened to their kids. The Prince scolds the Montagues and Capulets, blaming there incessant feud on their poor kids' fates. The Montagues and Capulets then resolve any issues they have for the sake of their children. The scene ends with a fade-out on the image of Romeo and Juliet's bodies lying side-by-side.

Prompt D
"A glooming peace this morning with it brings.

• The sun for sorrow will not show his head.

Go hence to have more talk of these sad things.

• Some shall be pardoned, and some punished,
• For never was a story of more woe
• Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

I like this quote because it shows that in the tragedy of these kids, the families have finally ended their feud. There are good and bad aspects to it, however. It is good that they have finally learned to put any differences behind them and just get on with their lives. Now, no one can be harmed from their endless fighting. The unfortunate aspect is that the two families could not realize how silly their feud was until they both experienced tragedies.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet: Act V: Scene I, II, and III (The End)

Prompt A

Romeo, in Mantua, is told by Balthasar, that Juliet is dead. Romeo react to this by writing back to Friar Lawrence, and bought a poison for 40 gold coins. Later, he went to the tomb where he killed Paris, and Poisoned himself, and when Juliet woke, she stabbed herself. Finally, after a long argument, the Caplets and Montagues agreed to have truce.

Prompt C

Balthasar
Why did you not tell what actually happened?

Friar Lawrence
What were you thinking when you saw the letter?

Prince
Was the Friar punished?
What will you do if the families get into more trouble?

Capulet & Montague
What will you do to preserve your familyhood?

Act 4 scene 4-5 a fake death?

Prompt G
I hope this has worked, or else I will have the death of the capulets only daughter on my hands. I shall yell at them for not thinking of what Juliet wanted. Ohh how I hope this plan works. I will convince Capulet to bring her to the Tomb were I can fetch her when she awakens. The Capulets must believe that this is the best thing so that they will leave her alone. Has Romeo gotten my letter yet?


Prompt D

"O child! O child! My soul and not my child! Dead art thou! Alack, my child is dead, And with my child my joys are buried."

I picked this quote because it is interesting to me that Capulet is acting very sorry. Just the day prior he had yelled at Juliet and threatened to throw her out on the streets. It makes me wonder if his threat was real or if he is pretending now that he is sad. Also, could he just be sad because he will not get the social benefits of being part of County Paris's family?  This quote raises many questions about things that he has done earlier in the story. I wonder if he is mourning Juliets death because she was his only child or for other reasons.

Act 5, Scenes 1-3: The Tomb Feasts

Prompt B
Romeo bribing the shop owner reminds me of examples of bribery in the real world. The shop owner is so poor that he will go along with nearly anything Romeo tells him to do in order to receive money. In real life, it can be very similar. One example of this is people buying illegal things from dealers and the dealer's selling the items for money. Another example could be corruption where people (in companies/politics/etc.) accept lots of money and make decisions based on that. The people getting the money still accept it despite whatever moral reservations they have about the action because they want/need more money.

Prompt C
Friar Lawrence - Why couldn't Juliet just run away without having to fake her death? It seems like it was quite possible you could have kept her in hiding by your offer to take her back to your cell.
Prince - Why didn't you crack down on the violence sooner?
Montague - What do you think of the marriage of Romeo and Juliet? What would you have done if Juliet had told you earlier?
Capulet - How would you have responded to Romeo marrying Juliet? Would you have been as forgiving of their marriage as you seem now?
Romeo - Why didn't you visit the Friar first to find out the circumstances of Juliet's death? You don't know how or why she was killed so it might be good to verify the information from your servant.

Act 5 scene 1-3:and they died happily ever after

Prompt A: Romeo finds out about what happened to Juliet and so he decides to buy poison. In scene 2 friar gets his letter back that Romeo was suppose to get. In scene 3 Paris visits Juliet and then Romeo shows up. Romeo kills Paris and then he drinks the poison. Juliet awakes and sees his husband dead so she stabs herself.  The Capulets, Montegues, and the prince find all of them dead and the play finishes

Prompt C: Apothecary- why did you sell Romeo the poison even thought you knew the consequences?

Romeo & Juliet- why would you kill yourself for someone you just met?

Friar Lawrence- why would you leave Juliet alone?

Paris- why did you go visit Juliet?

Montegues & Capulets- did it really need to take your children to die for you guys to end your feud?

Act 5, A Happy Ending?

Prompt C;
County Paris- Why don't you want to be seen?
Apothecary- Why didn't you ask Romeo about the intended use?
Friar Lawrence- Do you not see the problems that the delay could have caused?
County Paris- You didn't know her that well, Why were you that distraught?
Romeo- Why do you have to act so rash?

Prompt A:
Bathasar sees Juliet in a tomb and appearing to be dead, so he runs to tell Romeo. Romeo hears the news of her death and decides that he should die with her. He goes to Apothecary and buys a fast acting poison and then writes a letter to his father. When he gets there he is met with County Paris and the County recolonizes him as the man who killed Juliet's cousin and caused the grief that lead to her untimely death. He draws his sword on Romeo but Romeo quickly defeats him, killing him. Romeo sees that Juliet is indeed dead and he drinks the potion in her name, but she wakes a few minutes afterwards. When she sees the state of death that Romeo is in she decides to stab herself in the chest, which allows her to die with her one true love.

Communication Issues in the Stone Ages
Act 5, Scenes i ii iii

Prompt C
Paris- Would you have killed yourself if Romeo had not killed you first?
Capulet- Did you say that you will give up on your quarrel with the Montagues just to get on the Prince's good side?
Friar Lawrence- Why didn't you deliver the letter to Romeo yourself?
Juliet- Do you secretly blame Friar Lawrence for Romeo's death?
Romeo- Do you have any sword fighting in your background since you've defeated two opponents?

Prompt E

In this picture, the person is dying from a broken heart, which has magically popped out of his body. A rose remains in his left hand. This represents the death of Romeo, who killed himself when he found his true love had died. Though he did not literally die of a broken heart, Romeo's death was still caused by his realization that he would never be with his wife again, which led him to suicide.

Act V, Closing Fate

Prompt B

In the play, besides the love story of Romeo and Juliet, the feud between the family of Monatague and Capulet is actually the main problem of Shakespeare's play. In this act, the Prince, Friar Lawrence, both families, and several other people discovered that Count Paris, Romeo and Juliet are freshly dead in the tomb. As they start to suspect and investigate what caused this horrible event, Friar Lawrence confessed. With this shocking news, the Capulets and Montagues finally agreed to end their feud. This kind of problem reminds of this television series where there are two families where they both dislike each other so much. This is basically depends on the rich and poor. Both sides have children of their own, which starts to effect them. As the children grew, including the rage between the families, the kids starts to fall in love with each other. They would start to go out secretly and as this conflict rises, someone at the end ends up getting hurt and/or killed.

Prompt C

Romeo- Why didn't you let Count Paris kill you if you are just going to kill yourself?
Apothecary- Why do you have to give Romeo poison just like that?
Capulet- Do you learn your lesson with your issue?
Prince- Do you think that the conflict of the Montagues and Capulet is settled now?
Friar Lawrence- Will you ever forgive yourself?

Act 5

How the Story Ends

Prompt E

I chose this image for several reasons. First of all, it represents confusion and miscommunication, depicting how Romeo was not informed properly about Juliet's "death" and his and her confusion when finding each other, in turn, dead. The confusion can also apply to the Montegues and Capulets when they find their children and do not understand what happened. Lastly, the dark, mixed colors show sadness and woe, and the smooth spirals make it look as though the picture is almost melting, like the feud between the families.

Prompt G
Romeo - No, it cannot be true. How could this have happened? How is she dead? How did she die? Death hath stolen my true love farther out of my grasp than she was before; I curse the stars! As long as she and I lived, a chance was always there. Now she is gone, and I have no chance left to live for. Oh, my dear, sweet lady, I shall join you in death, for it is the closest I will ever get to being with you! I am coming, my love!

Act 5: The Finale

Prompt B) Act 5 really reminds me of the story of Snow White. Juliet takes a potion that puts her in a death like state. Snow White takes a bite of an apple that kills her. Snow White and Romeo and Juliet are both stories about star-crossed lovers. Also, the part of scene 5 where Romeo comes to Juliet's tomb reminds me of when the prince in Snow White comes to her coffin. The only difference is that Snow White lives happily ever after with her prince, and Romeo and Juliet end up both dead.

Prompt G) (Romeo in Act 5, Scene 1)- Did Balthasar just say that Juliet is dead?!? How can this be? What happened? I have no reason to live anymore. I cannot believe this. What am I going to do now? I just want to be with Juliet. Hmmm. Of course! I will go join Juliet in death, that way we can be together. But how? Hmmm. I've got it! I will take some poison that will kill me quickly, and I will go to Juliet's tomb. Once I am there, I will take the poison, and then we can finally be together. A good plan indeed. I must hurry and start the long journey to Verona!

Act 4 scene 4 & 5- The plan starts

prompt  D: " Oh, I cry you mercy, you the are the singer. I will say it for you. it is 'music with her silver sound' because musicians have no gold for sounding" this is an interesting quote because it shows how Peter is trying to be funny in a serious moment

prompt F: Friar Lawrence has this connection with everyone in Verona. In these scenes we can see how he understands Juliet's situation so he helps her. He does not have to help her fake her death but he does it because he understands her.

Act 5 Scene 1-3 An untimely death of two lovers

Prompt B
In scene one when Balthasar tells Romeo to calm down before storming off into Verona, I was reminded of how I often act when I am upset. When I am upset I will not listen to what other people have to say but instead just do what ever I feel like without thinking first. When Romeo hears that Juliet is dead he decides that he will go back to Verona and kill himself. Balthasar tells him that he is making rash decisions and should have patience. Romeo does not listen to this advice and does what he feels like without thinking first.

Prompt C

Romeo- Did you think about what you were going to do before storming off to Verona
Apothocary- are you allowed to give poison to people that are planning on killing them selves
Friar Lawrence- are you scared that you might miss Romeo and he might kill himself now because Friar John could not deliver the letter.
Juliet- When you woke up did you check to see if Romeo was actually dead.
Lord Capulet- did you wish you had known of the marriage because maybe your daughter would not be dead now, or is your hate for the montegues so big that you would have wished her dead anyways.
Lord Montegue- did you wish you had known of the marriage and if you had what would you have done
Friar Lawrence- Weren't you scared that the Montegues and Capulets would hate you for secretly marring their children.

Act 4 Scenes 4-5: Unexpected Turn of Events

1-Prompt A
In scene 4, they describe the preparations for the wedding. They have food, such as the "meat pie", ready to be served. Capulet seems to want to make Juliet happy as he says spare not for cost (meaning he doesn't care about the cost). There are also musicians that will play music. At the end of this scene, Capulet tells the nurse to get Juliet dressed. Overall, Capulet is making the event well prepared and nice, most likely since the idea of the marriage to is make Juliet happy and make her forget the loss of her cousin.

2- Prompt E

I related scene 5 to a jack in the box. From Capulet's perspective, he spent all this time making preparations and plans for the marriage. This is like winding the box. Then suddenly, and unexpected thing happens; Juliet appears to be dead. This is like all the preparations and winding leading to jack popping out of the box and would be a surprise to children. Capulet must've been shocked that Juliet was found dead on the day of the wedding. This picture represents Juliet's supposed death. This picture seemed to directly connect to the situation Capulet is facing.

Act 4 Scenes 4-5 : That's Just What She Wants You to Think

PROMPT B

In Act 4 Scene 5, the Nurse, Lady Capulet, and Lord Capulet are completely distraught when they discover Juliet "dead." They had all upset Juliet before her "death" and did not make amends for their misbehavior towards her. This reminds me of when people have arguments with one another and do not solve their disagreement within that same day. I hate going to sleep with unfinished business because I feel that when you don't sort out a fight and end up going to sleep with negative thoughts, the feelings tend to become stronger and the fight becomes more meaningful. Not to mention that basically anything can happen within the time that the issue is left unresolved. I imagine that Juliet's family would be feeling very guilty and immense discomfort of the fact that Juliet may not have known how much they really love her. 

PROMPT E

I chose this image of the different phases of the moon in the night sky. I think it is a good symbolic representation of the scene as a whole because it shows how although you can't always see every part of the moon, it's always there. Juliet acts like the moon because she only reveals the pieces of herself that others are supposed to see or that she wants them to see. 

Romeo and Juliet: Act 4 Scenes 4-5; The Aftermath

Prompt B:

In my life, there have been many times where I do not appreciate something until it's gone. This is similar to what Juliet's family is experiencing. When Juliet was alive a few days ago, her father threatened to disown her and made a lot of hurtful comments. Her mother, Lady Capulet didn't do anything to help her daughter, and disowned her as well. However, after they thought Juliet was dead, Lady Capulet began mourning and saying how she loved her greatly. Capulet also had a sudden change of heart and goes from controlling tyrant to grieving father. This is apparent in our real world as well, we do not appreciate the things we have until we no longer have them. I sometimes get angry at my macbook for being slow, but after using my dad's older computer, I appreciated mine more.

Prompt D:

Scene 4.5, Lord Capulet says, "All things that we ordained festival, Turn from their office to black funeral"(203). He was found out that Juliet is dead, and requires that all parts of the wedding that they were planning a few seconds ago be changed into a funeral. This shows the sudden change of mood, and a joyful wedding that had been planned needs to become a funeral in a few moments. Instruments that were going to play wedding songs are now to be used for sad, funeral ones. Flowers for the bride will be used for the corpse. It is sad how everyone who was come for a wedding are instead going to be attending a funeral.

Act 4 Scenes 4-5

Sadness Brought by Oneself

Prompt A
Scenes 4 and 5 start with the Capulets preparing for Juliet's wedding the next day. Nurse, Lady, and Lord Capulet lightheartedly and happily joke and plan. In the morning, Lord Capulet sends Nurse to wake Juliet, who finds her "dead." Lady Capulet is called, and upon seeing her "dead" daughter, she is overwhelmed with sadness, showing a new, softer side of her. Lord Capulet comes and is stunned to silence. Friar Lawrence, who knows of the plan, acts his part with ease, trying to comfort the Capulets and Paris in their grief and mentioning that she is in a better place. The wedding plans turn into funeral plans.

Prompt D
In Act 4 Scene 4, Lord Capulet says "Thou shalt be loggerhead" to a servant in response to the servant's joke. The line shows Lord Capulet's good spirits and humors as he prepares for Juliet's wedding. I particularly like the line because of its modern translation. Nowadays, one would say this line as "you are a blockhead." This is a light-hearted, but nonetheless hilarious, jest. Capulet using the line shows his pleasant engagement with his servant.

Act 4 Scenes 4-5, Escaping Death

Prompt E:

I picked this photo because I thought that it showed what Juliet's plan was. It was all an illusion, like smoke and mirrors. It shows how she is recreated as a new image, which in the story is her on her death bed. But in reality she is still alive and very much aware of this mirage that she is hoping will convince everyone of her death.
Prompt D:

• Oh child, oh child, my soul and not my child!
• Dead art thou, alack, my child is dead,
• And with my child my joys are buried.
• I picked this quote because I found the contrast of the father's emotions towards his daughter really interesting because one day before he was screaming at her threatening to turn her to the streets to starve. Though this seems very genuine I can't help but wonder if some of his anguish is directed at the thought of him not reaping the social benefits from the proposed marriage to County Paris. He states that because she is dead, so is he but I feel that he will feel back to normal in less than a week. What leads me to believe this is that when Tybalt died they didn't really mourn for that long and he was a respected, beloved family member as well.

Romeo and Juliet Act 4 Scenes 4-5 Lies and Freedom

Prompt F
Juliet and her mother do not have the healthiest relationship. Juliet loves her mother, this much you can tell. But, her mother does not treat her like she should. She thinks that Juliet cannot control her own life, so she feels the need to control it for her. She never really cherishes and appreciates her daughter until she is gone.

Prompt C
Nurse: Did you think that maybe Juliet could have been tricking you with her death?
*Shakespeare: Why did you include the scene with Peter and the musicians?
Lord Capulet: Did you set up the marriage for only your benefit?
Lady Capulet: Why didn't you respect your daughter when she was 'alive'?
Friar Lawrence: Were you 100% sure your plan would work?

Act 4: scenes 4&5: Sorrow in the Capulets

Prompt A: In the morning, the nurse goes into Juliet's room an finds her dead. The Family cries and mourns her death. Al the musicians from the wedding began to leave put peter storms in and ass the to play a song for her. The musicians refuse and peter flip's out.

Act 4 scenes 4-5 Love Brings Sorrow

Promt A 

In act 4 scences 4-5, Capulet and Lady Capulet are preparing everything for the wedding with such excitement. The Capulet asks the Nurse to go  and wake up Juliet and help her to get ready for the wedding. When the  Nurse gets to Juliet's room she takes a long time to realize that Juliet is dead. Friar Lawrence tries to calm them down by saying that she is in a better place. After Peter, a servant from Capulet, asks the musicians to play a happy song but they refuse. Peter then decides to start insulting them and when he leaves the musicians decided to wait to see if they will eat the food that would be served. 

Promt B

These two scenes reminded me that whenever we can something really bad there is bad consequences. When ever we make plans for something really excited there tends to go something wrong and in this scene Juliet's parents are so excite for the wedding causing Juliet to kill herself. The consequence of wanting Juliet to marry to Paris even when she didn't want to bought her death. 

For the Food
Act 4 Scenes iv v

Prompt B
Act 4, Scene 5
As in the book, the musicians stick around even after they learn their gig has been canceled. They do this because they hope to be severed the lunch that will be served. Many times I have wished to leave an event or place that bores me. However, I have been lured back by food on many occasions. The idea of being served a meal has lured me to stay at boring events, like the one of the musicians. Other times, I have been lured to go places with food. One time, for example, my mom was trying to make me go to my sisters soccer game. I stubbornly refused at first, but I finally agreed to go to my sister's game, an hour away, when my mom promised me Starbucks if I went.

Prompt F
In Romeo and Juliet, both Lady and Lord Capulet do not care about Juliet. Their relationship with Juliet is lie that of yours and money. They only want her so they can advance themselves in life. Remember earlier in the act when they threatened to disown her if she did not advance their family be marrying Paris. This would be like getting rid of your money if it became worthless. However, they take her back when she says se will happily marry Paris, just like you would take your money back if it suddenly had value once again. They weep when they loose her however, because it was like loosing money that had value. The relationship between Juliet and her parents is based on incredibly selfish motives and benefits both Juliet and her parents, but more so her parents.

Act 4 Scenes 4-5: She's dead. Or is She?

Prompt E) I think that this picture is a good representation of the scene as a whole because Juliet drinks a potion that Friar Lawrence gave to her. This potion will put Juliet into a state similar to death for 42 hours. When the nurse went to wake Juliet on the morning of the wedding, she found Juliet dead. Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, County Paris, and other servants and musicians for the wedding came into Juliet's room to find her dead. Nobody could believe it. Little did they know that Juliet wasn't really dead.

Prompt F) I think the relationship between Romeo and Tybalt was very intense. Tybalt always wanted to start a fight ever since he saw Romeo at the party that he wasn't invited to. However, Romeo didn't want to start anything with Tybalt because since he married Juliet secretly, Tybalt is his brother-in-law. But then, things escalated very quickly. Tybalt killed Mercutio which made Romeo very angry. It made Romeo so angry that he went and killed Tybalt. This was wrong of Romeo because he only did it for vengeance. Also if Romeo didn't kill Tybalt, then he wouldn't have been banished and Tybalt probably would have been executed by the Prince. So Tybalt most likely would have died anyway. 

Act IV, Scene IV and V (More Tragic Ideas and Sad Singing)

Prompt D

The quote that Peter said, "Oh, I cry you mercy, you are the singer. I will say for you. It is "music with her silver sound because musicians have no gold for sounding: "Then music with her silver sound With speedy help doth lend redress.", confused me because I didn't know if he is joking or not, and why if what he sings is the song he wants.

Prompt C

Peter

Why did you threaten to kill the musicians?

What to do you mean as musicians don't get gold?

Musicians

Why did you decide to not play for Peter?

Friar

Why did you get involved in the mourning?

Juliet

What would you do if the others found that you were faking your death?

Scene 4: acts 1,2&3:Now or Never

Prompt F-

      I choose this picture to represent the situation. Everyone is doing different things and has different roles. The Capulet's are planning for the wedding, while Juliet and Friar are planning a fake death. All of these different  events are al tied together and all revolve around Juliet at the time.

Prompt C:
Friar- What will you do to help Juliet if the potion doesn't work?
Juliet- what will you do if the potion dent work?
Juliet- Will you kill yourself if the potion doesn't work?
Lord Capulet- What will you do if Juliet runs away?
lady Capulet- Are you disowning Juliet because y0u are mad at her for disobeying you or Because Lord Capulet is mad at her?

Act 4, Scenes 4-5: How could she be dead?

Prompt F
The relationship between Juliet and her parents is very interesting. Previously, they had threatened to disown her if she did not follow their orders. Her father got very angry and called her worthless, among other very mean things while her mother stood by and showed no sympathy. Her father even went as far as to say that Juliet was one child too many (implying 0 children would have been better).

However, in these scenes, after the parents find out that Juliet is dead, they are very upset. They seem like they really did love her and that they are very sad that she has died. Maybe this is just because she ultimately agreed to marry Paris, but it makes me question whether her father really meant the things he said to her previously. I think this is worth consideration because the relationship seems to be the opposite now as than it was before. Perhaps this just goes to show that you sometimes don't care about a good thing until it's gone.

Prompt E

This image relates to this part in the play because it is when Juliet fakes her own death. As I mentioned above, her parents didn't really seem to care how she felt about the marriage, even when she threatens to kill herself. After they think she is dead, her parents are filled with sorrow and very sad. This is similar to the picture because her parents don't seem to appreciate her until she fakes her own death.

Act 4(#2) False Death

Prompt A

Act 4, scenes 4-5, it is about when Lord Capulet starts to arrange some things for the wedding of Juliet and Count Paris. He starts off by organizing the food like at 3 o' clock in the morning. Lady Capulet tells him to get some rest. On the next day, Lord Capulet orders people to hurry for it is the day of the wedding. He sees that music and Count Paris are arriving towards the house and orders Nurse to wake up Juliet. At first, Nurse thinks that Juliet is very sleepy. But as she comes closer to Juliet and realizes that Juliet is not moving, she notices that Juliet is "dead". Lady Capulet soon comes and calls for help. Soon, Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence, Count Paris, and other people come to see what is going on. From then on basically they all mourn, until Friar Lawrence breaks it up and tells them to calm down and start to make a huge speech on what they are all suppose to do now. Then Peter, the servant, tells the musicians to stay and sing up a song, but the refuse. They start to ague and comment each other. Then Peter leaves and the musicians decided to stay for the funeral and at least have some dinner.

Prompt E

I think that this picture represents the situation that Juliet is going through right now. In the book, Juliet drank a potion that represented two days of death experience, and in this picture, here is a person in a coffin with his eye open.

Act 4, scene 1-3: The unbroken bond

( Prompt A ) The story continues with Lord Capulet raging and telling Juliet that she will marry Count Paris in a week. Juliet was in shock and obviously she only likes Romeo. But Juliet asked Friar Lawrence for hep to escape Verona and live with Romeo. Friar Lawrence helped Juliet escape Verona in a risky way. So the plan is Friar Lawrence is gonna give Juliet a sleeping pill and pretends that she's dead, and Friar Lawrence is gonna take Juliet to Romeo.

( Prompt C )
Count Paris-Of all the girls why Juliet?
Romeo-Do you trust Friar Lawrence to make this plan work?
Juliet-Are you willing to sacrifice everything to make the plan work?
Lord Capulet-Why did you push Juliet to marry Paris?
Nurse-Which side are you siding?

Act 4, Scenes 1-3: Desire for An Alternate Escape

1- Prompt F
In scene 1, you can see the relationship between Juliet and Paris. Juliet doesn't really like Paris. She says she would rather kill herself than marry Paris. She was also interested and agreed to Friar's plan with faking the death. However, Juliet may not have an opinion towards Paris since this could just be Juliet liking Romeo and not agreeing to the marriage with Paris. Paris, on the otherhand, doesn't mind and rather prefers to marry Juliet. He seems somewhat happy and prepared to marry her.
2-Prompt D
"To beg your pardon. Pardon, I beseech you. Henceforward I am ever ruled by you."(p187) I found this quote interesting for a few reasons. First of all, it seems excessive to say sorry in this manner. Times have changed but the way this is said could be to make the scene more dramatic. Also, she says that she is ruled by them. If they rule her, why can't they force her to marry Paris? It makes these lines near unnecessary. She wouldn't need to decide if she wants to marry Paris or not if she ruled her. In real life, Capulet would probably think something is odd; how she suddenly changes her mind and expresses remorse dramatically.

Act 3 scenes 3-5: tragedy

( Prompt A ) Act 3 ends with Mercutio and Tybalt fighting in a ridiculous way but Tybalt accidentally stabs Mercutio without getting anyones attention and runs away with the Capulets who noticed that Mercutio has been stabbed. When Romeo noticed that Mercutio was bleeding, he went rushing to find Tybalt and challenges him into a sword fight. Minutes later when Romeo fell down, he accidentally stabbed Tybalt in his stomach and realizes what he has done. He quickly went hidden. When the prince heard the news he sent Romeo into exile and banished him out of Verona forever. Romeo then went to the friar's cell and stayed hidden, when the friar told Romeo that he is banished from Verona he snob and said that he would rather be dead than being banish from Verona and not seeing Juliet. The prince said if he sees Romeo again he would be executed.

( Prompt C )
Prince-Why didn't you just kill Romeo?
Tybalt-Why did you start to make fun of Mercutio?
Mercutio-Why did you have to fight Tybalt?
Romeo-Why did you seek for revenge?
Friar Lawrence-Why didn't you just help Juliet escape from the Capulets?

Romeo and Juliet: Act 4 Scenes 1-3; Deadly Plans

Prompt A:

Paris is excited and eager to marry Juliet, while she is feeling quite the opposite. When Paris speaks to her with confidence and arrogance, she replies rudely and does not return his love. Juliet decides that she cannot and will not marry County Paris, so she turns to Friar Lawrence for help. Friar Lawrence develops a risky plan; he will give her a sleeping potion that will make her appear dead one day before the wedding, and she will be laid in the Capulet tomb. Then the friar will send for Romeo from Mantua and they will escape together. Juliet consents to this plan wholeheartedly. Before she drinks the potion, she has some doubts about what could happen, but eventually she takes it, and the plan is set in motion.

Prompt G:

Juliet: Oh how I wish not to marry County Paris. I do not love him at all, and my heart is set on Romeo. I would rather kill myself than have to spend the rest of my life with Paris. I have consulted with Friar Lawrence and he came up with the brilliant plan for me to fake my death so I can be reunited with Rome. All I have to do is take a sleeping potion, there is no way this plan can go wrong! I am about to take the potion, and I am starting to have some doubts. What if the Friar is tricking me, or what if Romeo does not arrive on time? I am just being paranoid, this plan will work, and I will finally be reunited with my lover Romeo!

Act 4 Scenes 1-3 : The Mischievous Plan

PROMPT C

- How can Romeo be notified of the plan devised by Friar Lawrence and Juliet if he is going to be banished?

-  Why is there a recurring theme of suicide in both Romeo and Juliet's cases?

- How will Romeo reach the vault where Juliet will be placed after being found "dead'?

- Does Friar Lawrence feel personally responsible that Juliet may commit suicide if she cannot escape her marriage to Paris?

- Why is Paris being so possessive over Juliet? Why doesn't Juliet tell her family about this? 

PROMPT G
I need the plan to work. I absolutely despise the foul Paris and his attempt to own me as I can do as I please and he will never gain my consent. Friar Lawrence is an honorable man, surely his potion must work! But how can I be truly sure that Romeo, my love, will be able to rescue me from being trapped in the vault--and how can I even be sure that he will be notified of the plan at all? I know that this thought process must only be a consequence of my worries but my mind is spinning in every direction imaginable and I cannot stop it. I pray that Romeo will be safe from Tybalt's vengeful spirit. If the plan is successful, Romeo and I will escape the restrictive clutches of Verona together and begin a new life, a better one where we may live in peace with one another until death do us part. 

Act 4 scene 1-3: death is part of the plan

prompt A: Friar Lawrence came up with the idea that Juliet will fake her death to end up in her love's hands.She agreed to take a sleeping potion the day before she gets marry with Paris. she tells her parents and they were so happy that they moved the wedding before. In scene 3 it was the day before the wedding and she took the potion.

prompt C: Friar Lawrence- why did you help Juliet if her parents would not approve?
Friar Lawrence- were did the potion come from?
Paris- why do you want to marry Juliet?
Juliet- do you really want to risk your life for a guy?
Caapulets- why rush the wedding?

Act 3 Scenes 3-5 : Ignorance is Woe

PROMPT C

Romeo--why don't you escape Verona with Juliet?

Lord Capulet--why is it so important to you that Juliet be married to Paris and why are you angry at Juliet for not wanting to?

Lady Capulet--why didn't you defend your daughter from your husband's unreasonable demands of your daughter?

Paris--what is the purpose of getting married for you?

Juliet--why do you believe suicide is the best answer to failure?

PROMPT D

Scene 3.3--Friar Lawrence says, "Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love, Misshapen in the conduct of them both, Like powder in a skilless soldier's flask Is set afire by thine own ignorance, And thou dismembered with thine own defence." This line really shows how Romeo's way of thinking is stupid and self-destructive. He is mishandling the situation and just makes it worse. Also, he refuses to look beyond the banishment to see what is to come and simply move on. Friar Lawrence compares Romeo's behavior to that of a soldier who hurts himself by misusing a gun because they are both acting quite ignorantly. 

Act 4 Scenes 1-3 'Til Death Do Us Part

Prompt A
County Paris is very excited about his marriage to Juliet. Juliet is less thrilled. When Paris tells her his plans about marriage, she disregards him and is quite rude. Juliet decides that there is absolutely no way she can marry this arrogant and selfish man, so she turns to the Friar for help. He suggests a dangerous and flawed plan: Juliet will take  a poison that will induce a deep sleep, deep enough to knock her unconscious for 42 hours to make it seem like she died so that they can sneak her body out of Verona and into Mantua to be with Romeo. Juliet immediately agrees to this plan, because she cannot imagine life with Paris instead of Romeo. When she is about to drink the poison, she has many doubts. Eventually, she forces herself to take the poison, and the plan is commenced.

Prompt E

This relates to these scenes in Romeo and Juliet because Juliet is pretending she loves County Paris when she is really in love with Romeo. She has to simulate the feeling for Paris so that her plan will work and she will finally be able to live happily with Romeo.

Act 4, Scenes 1-3: A Dangerous Plan

Prompt D
In Scene 1, Juliet says, "'Twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife Shall play the umpire." Basically, what she is saying is that her knife will became the umpire between her problems. In short, Juliet is threatening to kill herself as a last resort, in the event that the Friar has no other plans. This shows just how devoted Juliet is to Romeo and how much she doesn't want to marry Paris. Killing herself is one of the only ways Juliet thinks she can take control of her life back. This demonstration of the lengths Juliet will go in order to prevent the marriage shows she will probably be open to the Friar's plan involving the potion.

Prompt G
Juliet

Oh how things are spiraling out of my control! There seems to be no stopping these terrible events! I absolutely do not want to marry County Paris, no matter what I have said to my parents. Romeo is my only true love, and this will always be so. I cannot allow myself to be married to someone else behind Romeo's back. County Paris's only redeeming quality seems to be his wealth and social position; I see nothing good in him. There is nobody in the whole world I would rather marry than Romeo.

However, many of these events seem to be out of my control. I talked with the Friar, and we have a plan, but if this plan fails, the only way to take back control of my life will be with this bloody knife. I do not want to die and leave Romeo, but I would rather die than marry Paris. I dearly hope this potion works and that our plan does as well, because otherwise I may have no choice but to use that knife.

Act 4 Scene 1-3 Cheating Death

Prompt B
When Juliet comes home and pretends to be excited about the wedding, which makes her dad moving the wedding date up it reminded me of a time I pretend to like something then had to suffer the consequence. My mom tried to make her spaghetti and meatball recipe healthier which ended up tasting terrible. Even though I did not like the taste her new dish I pretended to like it because she had made me a dinner while tring to keep me healthy. However when she thought I liked the recipe she started to make it more often. By pretending to like something I suffered the consequence of having to eat it more often just like Juliet got her wedding day moved up.
 
Prompt C
Friar Lawrence- Did you remember to tell Romeo about the plan or the new date?
Lord Capulet- Isn't Juliets new attitude shocking and suspicious?
Paris- Why marry a women who doesn't love you?
Romeo- If you had know of the plan would you have approved?
Juliet- Is Romeo really worth dieing for or leaving your family forever?

Act 4 Scenes 1-3

Looming Tragedy

Prompt C
Paris - Why do you want to marry Juliet so badly when you know she doesn't love you?
Friar Lawrence - Why didn't you suggest the potion plan right away?
Lord Capulet - Isn't Juliet's sudden change of heart rather suspicious?
Juliet - You know that the Nurse supports you and Romeo; why didn't you tell her about your plan?
Juliet - Isn't your fear about what could happen and your sadness over not seeing your family again a bad sign?

Prompt F
The relationship between Juliet and Paris is a weak one. Paris is arrogant, selfish, and insensitive. He tries to communicate to Juliet that once he marries her, he owns her, but she remains cold and composed. This annoys Paris greatly. Although Juliet manages to outsmart and circumvent Paris's over-familiar comments, Paris reminds her just who would wield the power in the relationship if they were married.

Act 4 scenes 1-3, A well devised plan?

Prompt C:
Friar Lawrence- Why did you already have the potion ready? Was this always its intended use?
County Paris- Why would yo continue with the wedding when it is obviously she does not love you?
Lord Capulet- Isn't it easy to see through Juliet's sudden change of heart?
Nurse- You are very close with Juliet and you know of her displeasure with County Paris. Why didn't you do anything to help?
Juliet- Would you actually rather die than be with County Paris?

Prompt A:
Juliet goes to console with Friar Lawrence about her worries for marrying County Parris. The Friar was previously speaking to the County when Juliet walks in, and he hears their exchanging of words laced with anger. So he offers a way out to Juliet after she tells him she would rather die than become the County's wife. He gives her a potion that will make her appear dead and tells her that he will inform Romeo about their plan so that he can take her away with him while all the others think that she is dead. Juliet agrees and tells her parents that she is ready for the wedding, but that night she drinks the potion in Romeo's name and falls into a deep slumber.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet: Act Vl: Scene l, ll, lll (More Tragic Moments)

Prompt A

Juliet is really depressed that Romeo is gone and she has to marry Count Paris. She asks the nurse for tips, but she says to marry the Count. This didn't help her, so she asked Friar Lawrence, and he said to poison herself using an elixir that would poison herself for 40 hours. She drank it, and went to bed, and when everyone saw her, they started mourning.

Prompt C

-Juliet
--What would you do if the plan does not work?

-Friar Lawrence
-- Do you think that the plan will work?
-- How do you know if the elixir will work?

-Lady Capulet & Capulet

-- Why and how do you think Juliet died?

Count Paris

Since Juliet is dead, who will you marry?

Act 4 Scenes 1-3: The Ultimate Sacrifice

Prompt A) In scene 1, Friar Lawrence is talking to County Paris about his marriage with Juliet when Juliet enters. Friar tells Paris that he needs to hear Juliet's confession and when Paris leaves, Juliet asks Friar for help. Friar gives Juliet a potion that will put her into a state that is similar to death for 42 hours. Friar also says to take the potion the night before the wedding and then he and Romeo will rescue her from the vault where she will be buried and Romeo will take her to Mantua. Juliet returns home and tells her father that she is sorry for her bad behavior and is now willing to marry County Paris. Lord Capulet is very pleased and decides to move the wedding to the very next day. Juliet then takes the potion that night.

Prompt C)
Juliet:
-Why would you rather die than marry Paris even though you were considering marrying him at the beginning of the play?
-Even though you were very worried, why did you eventually decide to take the potion?
Friar Lawrence:
-Did you think that Juliet should marry Paris?
-Why did you decide to help Juliet?
Lord Capulet- Why did you move the wedding a day earlier?

Act 4 Scene 1-3 Every Minute Counts

Prompt C 

Paris- Why if you know that Juliet doesn't love you, you still want to marry her? 

Paris- Are you marrying Juliet for money and social class? 

Juliet- Why would you think the Friar might be untrustworthy? 

Friar- Do you think the news about the plan will get to Romeo on time? 

Romeo- If you knew about the plan would you let Juliet take the poison even if you knew it might of not work? 

Prompt D 

Act 4 Scene 3

"What if it be a poison which the Friar subtly hath ministered to have me dead...how if, when I am laid into the tomb,I wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me? There's a fearful point. Shall I not then be stifled in the vault, to whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in, and there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?"This shows her true feeling towards Romeo because even when she knows that the plan might not work she takes the poison. Her wiliness of taking the poison that might not work testifies that she loves Romeo so much. She is willing to take any chances just to be with him. 

Act 4, scenes 1-3 The Mourning Morning

Prompt D

When Juliet said,
"Oh bud me leap, rather then marry Paris,
From off the battlements of any tower,
Or walk in thievish ways, or bid me lurk
Where serpents are. Chain me with roaring bears,
Or hide me nightly in a charnel- house..."(pg 183)
This really shows of how Juliet really loves Romeo, where she rather die than marrying to Count Paris and not being able to be with Romeo. When she asks for help to Friar Lawrence, she starts to threaten herself for different and tragic ways that she would suffer and kill herself. And Juliet even said that she could just stab herself if the potion doesn't work for her back-up. She wants to risk her life for the one person she fall in love with. She doesn't want to marry anybody else because she is already married to the one and only Romeo.

Prompt G

Friar Lawrence- Oh Juliet, I know how you feel about Romeo, for it is I have miss him, too. You can't just try to kill yourself just because you are going to marry Paris. I mean, think about Romeo. Do you want him to suffer? What would he do without you? Do you want to leave him in this deadly land? Besides, there is another way. Drink this potion where you will have the same effects of death for forty-eight hours before the wedding day. Then I will contact Romeo and we will save you. Till then, both of you shall run off, happily ever after.

A Drink of Faith
Act 4 Scenes i ii iii

Prompt A
These scenes from act 4 open with the Friar talking to Paris about his upcoming marriage. Paris hopes that the marriage with put an end to Juliet's mourning the loss of her fellow kinsman, Tybalt. Paris is still oblivious to the fact that Juliet loves Romeo instead of him. As Juliet walks in, she talks to Paris in a was such she hints quite obviously that she doesn't care for Paris. However, Paris still thinks Juliet loves him, even though she talks to him as if he were a stranger. Juliet is then told by the Friar that her only way to avoid the marriage is to drink a potion that will make her seem dead. This way, she can be with Romeo without having any worries of her past life coming to find her, like Paris, who may come looking for her if she disappears. With the potion, Juliet returns home and after telling her parents she is eager to marry Paris, disappears into her room and drinks the potion.

Prompt E
Juliet- OMG! I can't believe that Paris want "true love." That's like so last year. Like why would I want that anyways. Seriously, I'm 14. I still have years of partying ahead of me. My life would be over if I had to settle down. With Romeo, we both know that it is just a quick marriage that wont last. How could someone stand marriage anyways. Maybe we will be married for a couple of years, but in the end, it will be better for both of us if we end it.

Act 3 scene 3-5: One last goodbye

prompt A:
Romeo goes to Frair Lawernece and he tells Romeo that the Prince won't kill he is only banishing him. Romeo then responds that being banish is worse than being killed because then he won't be with Juliet.In scene 4 Paris and Capulet decide to marry Juliet and Paris on Thursday. In Scene 5 Romeo and Juliet say goodbye and then lady Capulet enters the room and sees Juliet crying and she thinks it might be because Tyblat died.

prompt C: Juliet- why don't you just tell your parents that you marry Romeo?
Capulet- Why do you want your daughter to marry Paris?
Paris- why do you want to marry Juliet?
Romeo - why did you kill Tybalt if you knew what the consequences were?
Juliet- why do you want your love to fleet?

Act 3, Scene 3-5: A Final Plan

1-Prompt D
Friar Lawrence says, "There on the ground, with his own tears made drunk." This is where the nurse walks in and Friar Lawrence points out where Romeo is. I was interested by this quote since I had to think about what it meant. My guess is that Friar Lawrence means Romeo is very sad. The tears being drunk means that his tears have no control. It is similar to a person who drank too much alcohol and has nearly no control of themself. His tears having no control is like saying he is crying alot and he can't stop it.

2-Prompt C
Questions scene 4
Capulet- What is the point of saying "well, we are born to die"?
What is the difference of changing the marriage from wednesday to thursday?
Isn't it too forceful to offer a "desperate tender(bold offer)" of your child's love?
Lady Capulet-Why ask the day after Juliet is very sad? Isn't that sort of a bad idea?
Paris-Do you think you're trying to marry Juliet too soon after both her losses?

Romeo and Juliet: Act 3 Scenes 3-5; A Loss of Hope

Prompt E:

I think this picture represents these scenes and how Juliet feels. Juliet's close cousin has just been killed by her lover, Romeo, who is banished from the city. Then she finds out she has to marry County Paris, which she doesn't want to do, or she will be disowned by her father, and has no support from her mother or close friend, the nurse. Juliet is in a bad situation and has to make some crucial decisions that will affect the rest of her life. She can either marry Paris and break her vows with Romeo, not marry Paris and get disowned by her family, or kill herself. Right now, things aren't looking too good for Juliet, and she feels hopeless.

Prompt F: 

Juliet and her father have a very complex relationship, and sometimes he can be rash and unreasonable. When he finds out that Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris, he gets angry and threatens to disown her. While Capulet had seemed very reasonable in previous acts, like when he accepts Romeo at his masquerade, but in this situation, he is harsh and mean when he calls her daughter, "young baggage, disobedient wretch!" (167). Juliet must be very hurt by her father's actions, and disheartened. While they are father and daughter, Capulet treats her daughter as property. He tries to marry Juliet off to a stranger, and gets angry when she refuses. While arranged marriages were common back then, Capulet should care about his daughter enough to respect her wishes. The relationship between Capulet and Juliet shows the misogynistic, male-oriented society people used to live in.

Act 3 Scenes 3-5 An Ultimatum

Prompt A
Friar Lawrence comes to Romeo's cell to tell him his fate. Romeo is distraught when he finds out that he is banished- he believes that death is better than the torture of banishment he is set to face. While he cries for his fate, the Friar manages to convince him that he needs to act like a man for Juliet and go see her. Romeo goes to meet Juliet, at the Nurse's request, and they see each other for the last time. At first, Juliet wants him to stay with her, until he accepts the offer, then she begins to see reason and tells him that he needs to go. After Romeo leaves, Lady Capulet comes to Juliet's room and tells her that it has been decided that she will be married to the County Paris. When Juliet tells Capulet and Lady Capulet that she does not want to marry him, Lord Capulet is furious and gives her an ultimatum: marry Paris or be disowned. She is very upset and does not know which to choose until the Nurse tries to convince her that it is best if she married Paris.

Prompt C
Juliet: Is it better to be disowned than marry Paris or is it better to stay with your family and marry him?
Lady Capulet: Why are you so emotionally distant from your daughter?
Capulet: Why don't you understand that you cannot control your daughter's life?
Nurse: Why is it better for her to marry Paris?
Romeo: Will you come back to meet Juliet again?

Act 3 scene 3-5 Marriage Hopping

Prompt A
When Romeo finds out that Juliet is very sad about his banishment, he decides that it would be best to attempt suicide. The Friar tells Romeo that he may be able to have the prince allow Romeo to come back to Verona. Then in Act 3 Scene 4 Lord Capulet decides that Juliet will marry paris because she will do what ever he tells her to do. As soon as Romeo leaves Juliet's room on his last night in Verona, Juliet's mom comes to tell her that she must marry Paris. Juliet refuses to do so and makes her dad very angry. Lord Capulet threatens her by saying he will put her out on the streets if she does not marry paris.

Prompt C
Friar Lawernce- what do you think Juliet will do with her self?
Romeo- Is suicide really the answer if your loved one is in mourning?  Shouldn't you try to be with her or help her escape with you.
Juliet- How do you feel about your dad saying you will marry who you are told to marry?
Lord Capulet- Would you really put your only daughter out on the streets?
Nurse- If you think that Romeo is the best person for Juliet why do you support the idea of her marrying Paris.

Act 3 Scenes 3-5

He Who Runs, Falls

Prompt E

This picture is an accurate representation of what is happening in scenes 3-5 of Act 3. Like Romeo and Juliet, the little man stands underneath the hearts with love just barely out of reach. 

Prompt G

Juliet-What am I to do? Not only is Romeo being banished, but I am being forced to marry the despicable Paris! Is there any way to escape this tragedy? I long for Romeo's company; I miss him so. He is truly my love, but the stars have forced us apart with a plethora of misfortunes. Why did Romeo have to slay my cousin Tybalt? Not only am I losing Tybalt, but now Romeo as well. If the family feud was not already a wedge between our love, this, along with my inescapable marriage to Paris, has truly forced us apart. We must love from afar. I wonder if I will ever see Romeo again.

Symbolic Love
Act 3 Scenes iii iv & v

Prompt C
Romeo- How are you going to reunite yourself with Juliet once again since you are banned from Verona?
Juliet- What is keeping you from leaving the city with Romeo?
Lord Capulet- Why do you no longer care about Juliet's feelings about marrying Paris?
Lady Capulet- Do you believe that Juliet should have any say in her marriage?
Paris- Do you care that Juliet is being forced to marry you?

Prompt D
Scene 3.3- Friar Lawrence mocks Romeo, "Art thou a man? Thy form cries out thou art. Thy tears are womanish; thy wild acts denote the unreasonable fury of a beast, unseeingly woman in a seeming man." I really liked this remark by the friar because it reminded me of hanging out with my friends. Sometimes, when someone refuses to do something that makes them seem feminine, we'll jokingly tell them to man up. Through this phrase, we are saying what Friar Lawrence is in the excerpt, that the person, Romeo, needs to be more manly, and in his eyes, less weak.

Act 3 scene 3-5 Death Brings Another Marriage

Prompt E 

I picked this picture because I think that it shows pretty well what the relationship of Romeo and Juliet is going through. The picture shows how two people are linked and moving together but in the middle of the thing that is linking them is a person attached as well in the relationship of Romeo and Juliet. In the act 3 scenes 3-5 we learned that their relationship is going to be destroy with the attachment  of County Paris and Juliet. 

Prompt F 

In act 3 scenes 3-5 it shows how Romeo's and Juliet's relationship has become more completed with the obstacles they are going through. When Capulet says "Monday,ha ha! Well, Wednesday is too soon. O'Thursday let it be. O'Thursday, let her, She shall be married to this noble earl" explains how Romoe and Juliet's love is being being attacked by Juliet's parents and the death of Tybalt. In my opinion, I think that the wedding of Juliet and County Paris would tear apart the relationship between Romeo and Juliet because most of their love is base on physical attraction.

Friar Lawrence - Do you really believe you may be able to convince the prince to allow Romeo to return?
Nurse - Do you consider Juliet's relationship with Romeo over now? What about their marriage?
Capulet - Why suddenly rush into making Juliet marry Paris? Didn't you say not long ago that you thought she was too young? Maybe giving her a few years to think it over will allow her time to change her mind.

Prompt F
The relationship between Romeo and Friar Lawrence is a strong one. Romeo, despite his arguing with Friar Lawrence at the beginning of the scene, seems to ultimately look up to him. Friar Lawrence is probably more of a father figure to Romeo than his real father has been, seeing that Romeo feels more comfortable confessing his actions to Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence seems very patient and is one of the few that manages to stay reasonable during these hard times for Romeo, and has a logical plan to make the best out of the situation. At the end of their meeting, Romeo seems to thank the Friar for his help, showing his appreciation.

Act 3 Scenes 1-5, A fork in the road

Prompt E:

I picked this photo because I feel like it shows what kind of decision that Juliet has to make. She could choose the path that leads to the sunshine, but she doesn't know who that would be with. Of course she would like to think that it would be with Romeo but it seems that if she picks him then she will lose her family, which will also give her heartache. But if she picks to go with County Paris then she will lose the love that she could of had with Romeo.

Prompt D:

• My husband is on earth, my faith in heaven. How shall that faith return again to earth, Unless that husband send it me from heaven By leaving earth?
• I really liked this quote because I fell like Juliet is finally realizing the difficulty that she will have to endure if she picks to be with Romeo. It signifies that they can't both exist in the same world if they both want to have each other and their faith.

Prompt C

Juliet
- Why won't you say that you married Romeo?



Prompt A

Romeo cries in puddles and despair of causing pain to Juliet, and after the Friar admits the Nurse, Romeo nearly stabs himself. Later the nurse, who convinces everyone to sleep early, lets Romeo hang out with Juliet for the night. After Romeo's depart, Lord and Lady Capulet tells Juliet that she has to marry Count Paris, else she will not be talked to.

Act 3,(#2), The Arrangement

Prompt A

For the rest of Act 3, after the Prince claims for Romeo's exile, Romeo stays hidden in Friar Lawrence's cell. Friar tells of what Prince has said about him and Romeo just explodes and said that he rather be dead than being exiled, where he will be away from Juliet. Friar tries to reason with him but Romeo ignores and just sobs. Then there was a knock on the door and found out that it was Nurse. Nurse sees that Romeo is in pain like Juliet, where she also sobs in her  room. She tells him to be a man. Romeo threatens to stab himself for it is he to have caused Juliet sadness. Friar stops Romeo and made a huge speech on telling Romeo to go see Juliet and leave for Mantua and Nurse to tell Juliet what happening and to try to convince the Capulets to sleep early. On that same night, Lord Capulet and Paris discuss of Juliet's marriage and will happen on Thursday. Later on, Lady Capulet goes to Juliet's room and sees that she is sobbing, thinking that its about Tybalt. Lady Capulet said tears will not bring the dead to life. She then added about Juliet being married to Paris, on which Juliet refuses. Lord Capulet then speaks to Juliet and becomes very furious, threatening her to marry or will disown her completely. Nurse says to Juliet to just marry Paris because it's very unlikely for Romeo to come back. With disbelief, Juliet fakely takes her advice.

Prompt F

The relationship between Juliet and her mother, Lady Capulet, is unlikely to be at all. Mothers are suppose to be loving and caring, but Lady Capulet is seemingly cold hearted, where she has no interest on her daughter's feelings at all. In the time of need of support when Lord Capulet was shouting at Juliet, Lady Capulet said nothing and didn't do anything. Juliet show more affection on Nurse than her own mother since she tells Nurse her secrets like Romeo, showing that Juliet trusts her more. She treats Nurse more like her mother because Nurse treats Juliet like she is her own daughter.

Act 3 Scenes 3-5: Complications

Prompt C)
Romeo: Why did you try to stab yourself?
Lord Capulet: Why did you decide to marry Juliet and County Paris in a couple of days when you said that Juliet was too young before?
Lord Capulet: Why were you so angry when Juliet didn't want to marry County Paris?
Nurse: How come you are agreeing that Juliet should marry County Paris?
Juliet: Why do you believe that Friar Lawrence can help?

Prompt F) I think that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet has become very complicated. They fell in love at first sight, and everything was great. But then they both found out that their families were enemies. However, they still loved each other and talked about it on Juliet's balcony. Romeo said, "With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out,

• And what love can do that dares love attempt;
• Therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me." 

 And they married soon after  this. But then, Romeo killed Tybalt which ruined everything because he was banished. However, even if Romeo wasn't banished, Juliet's parents would never have approved of her and Romeo's relationship because he killed Tybalt, and he is a Montague. So, Romeo and Juliet had to say goodbye, but they still love each other and hope to see each other soon. Romeo and Juliet have a very complicated relationship and right now, it seems as if they will never see each other again.

Act 3 Scenes 1-2

Banished

Prompt A
In Act 3, Scenes 1-2, Mercutio gets into a fight with Tybalt, which Romeo attempts to stop. Mercutio is fatally wounded and Benvolio takes his body away. To avenge Mercutio's death, Romeo slays Tybalt. However, because Tybalt, the murderer of Mercutio, cannot be punished while dead, Romeo is punished for killing Tybalt. He is exiled. Nurse brings the news to Juliet, who initially mourns the loss of her cousin, but then mourns the fact that Romeo will have to leave her. Nurse promises to bring Romeo to Juliet that night.

Prompt C
Romeo-why did you kill Tybalt? You know better, and you are clever enough to figure out that the law would punish him.
Prince-why would you believe the Capulets? They have just as much bias as the Montegues.
Juliet-what are you going to do about Romeo's exile?
Nurse-do you support Romeo being sent away?
Nurse-do you care more for Juliet than Tybalt?

Act 3, Scene 1-2: Seeking Vengeance

1- Promt f
The relationship between Mercutio, Romeo, and Tybalt change quite dramastically within the first scene. At first, Tybalt is aggressive while Romeo tries to create peace. His main reason behind this is since he has a relationship with Juliet. If he makes a bad name then bad things would happen. However, Mercutio isn't happy and draws his sword. Tybalt kills Mercutio. At this point Romeo is mad, and draws his sword (disregarding his peace attempts). He kills Tybalt. I think everything would've went well if Mercutio didn't step in and draw a sword. Romeo could've retained peace since he basically wasn't going to draw his sword.

2-prompt a
In the second scene, Juliet waits until the nurse arrives with news. The nurse is so shocked that the nurse says what she wanted to say in an undescriptive way. The nurse says he died, which made Juliet think Romeo died. However, the nurse corrects her story a bit later and says Tybalt is dead and Romeo killed him. Romeo is still alive but he is banished from Verona. The nurse claims to know where Romeo is. Juliet hands the nurse a ring to give to Romeo as a gift and to say goodbye.

Romeo and Juliet: Act 3 Scenes 1-2; A Bloody Turn of Events

Prompt B:

In these scenes, Tybalt and Mercutio are both killed because of their pride and ego. Another example of pride and ego leading to one's downfall is the TV show Breaking Bad. In the show, the main character, Walter White, builds a drug dealing empire and his ego inflates throughout the course of the show. Towards the end, his pride causes him to make irrational decisions in order to maintain his ego and boost his self esteem. This is exactly what happens with Tybalt and Mercutio. Tybalt wants to fight Romeo because he felt his house name and ego were damaged when Romeo showed up at the Capulet's ball. Mercutio also fights Tybalt because he wants to protect his house name, and it ultimately leads to his downfall. They both could have listened to Romeo and settled the petty argument peacefully, but they wanted to defend their "family honor", and were willing to sacrifice their lives. Both in the show Breaking Bad, and in Romeo and Juliet, ego and pride led to the demise of multiple characters.

Prompt C:

Mercutio: Why did you insist on fighting Romeo when he wanted to resolve the issue peacefully?
Romeo: What caused you to lash out at Tybalt, and then deeply regret it immediately after?
Tybalt: Why did you return to Romeo after killing Mercutio?
Lady Capulet: Why don't you believe Benvolio and insist on the death of Romeo?
Juliet: How are you going to deal with Romeo being exiled from the city of Verona?

Romeo and Juliet: Act 3, scene 1-2

(Prompt A) In the beginning of act 3, it begins with Benovolio and Romeo walking in a hot day. There they saw Tybalt, one of the Capulet's and started to fight the Montague. Sadly Tybalt killed one of the Montagues and made Romeo angry and Romeo killed Tybalt. When the news was spread, the prince of Verona wanted Romeo to be executed out of Verona. So the when the nurse heard the news, she quickly rushed and told Juliet that Tybalt was dead. So then Juliet whispered to herself and hoped that Romeo could come to there wedding.

(Prompt C)
Tybalt-Why did you kill one of the Montagues?
Romeo-Why didn't you fight Tybalt at the first place?
Juliet-Do you still love Romeo?
Nurse-Are you mad at Romeo?
Benovolio-Why didn't you help Romeo fight Tybalt?

Act 3 Scenes 1-2: "A Series of Unfortunate Events"

PROMPT D

Romeo says, "Villain am I none. Therefore farewell; I see thou knowest me not." This line really shows that although Romeo is unwilling to fight Tybalt because he is related to him by marriage, he needs to take action because Tybalt is absolutely relentless. Romeo realizes that Tybalt is the mistaken one, and Romeo is therefore not the wrongdoer. Tybalt murdered Romeo's friend, he murdered the Prince's kinsman. This leads Romeo to defend himself and his companions with a forceful tactic because peaceful methods prove to be unsuccessful. 

PROMPT E

I chose this image of lever created by a rock and a plank of wood containing five rocks on the left side outweighing a single rock on the right side. I think it is a good symbolic representation of the scene as a whole because it shows how the odds are generally against Romeo's favor. Romeo is constantly bombarded with the aftermath of the silly feud between the Montagues and the Capulets.
