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.
