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.
To answer your first question to County Paris, I think he did not want to be seen because he was embarrassed. Paris, in other scenes, is arrogant, annoying, and not very romantic at all. I think he believes that showing emotion is a weakness, so he wants to hide it as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteThe second question you have is a great question but even if he asked do you think Romeo would have told him. If he did tell him maybe Apothecary could have talked Romeo out of committing suicide.
