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.
