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.
