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?
