Romeo And Juliet

1. Act 3 Scene 5 Prassana, Aditya, Hassan, Kevin, Yashkumar Romeo And Juliet

2. The characters involve in this scene are Romeo, Juliet, Nurse, Capulet, and Lady Capulet. The scene takes place as daylight streams in the window of Juliet’s room. Romeo and Juliet exchange vows as they will likely not see each other in a long time. Romeo then flees just as Lady Capulet steps into the room to speak to her daughter. Lady Capulet believes Juliet is grieving the death of Tybalt, but she is grieving Romeo’s banishment. Lady Capulet tells her good news that Capulet has arranged a marriage between Paris and Juliet; in horror, Juliet tries to refuse the marriage. When Capulet finds out, he threatens to throw her out of the house. Lady Capulet then disowns her while Nurse is convinced that she should marry Pairs and she talks about Romeo in a new, negative way. With no one left to support her, Juliet goes to visit the Friar. Summary

3. Romeo: Romeo is a young man who has a passion for love and he is not afraid of danger. Once again, he sneaks into the Capulet’s house and spends the night with Juliet. Already in exile, he risks death in seeing Juliet. Knowing the consequences if he stays in Verona, he leaves Juliet with a goodbye. Juliet: Juliet is a young girl that values loyalty. Now that she is married to Romeo, she refuses to allow her parents to make her marry Paris showing she values loyalty. She is defiant and is showing full maturity when she refuses the ordeal her parents has given her. Although now alone and isolated from the family, she is calm and determined to leave the fate her parents have given her and return to her Romeo. Capulet: Capulet is a loud man with a lot of power and authority. He gets enraged quickly when Juliet refuses to marry Paris and even threatens to kick her out of the house. He is angry to find that Juliet will not marry Paris because their marriage will improve the status and wealth of the family. Capulet is also very violent. He hits Juliet, Lady Capulet, and Nurse in the scene. He has the tendency to always wanting to have his orders carried out successfully; in this case, Juliet refuses marriage to Paris (having a secret marriage already with Romeo) which therefore is not successful. Characters

4. Lady Capulet: Lady Capulet is a character that is portrayed as a non-loving figure. She does not often spend time with her own daughter and does not care for the happiness of her daughter. She is very vengeful and negative; she would send her men after Romeo to kill him, continuing the Capulets’ long feud with the Montagues. She does not have any parental love for Juliet as she prefers her to marry Paris for it will give the family more wealth and status. Nurse: Nurse was once known as a person that protected Juliet. Although she protects Juliet, she turns against her saying she is better off marrying Paris. She cares very much about Juliet but she does not see the passionate love between Romeo & Juliet; marrying Paris, she says, will be easier because she believes Romeo is already dead. Nurse may love Juliet but she is loyal to the Capulet family and tries to fix the mistakes she made by letting Juliet marry Romeo. She covers her mistakes when she tells Juliet she is better off with Paris instead. Character II

5. In this scene the most basic issue is old versus young. One part that shows an example of this is the argument that Capulet and Juliet have. Capulet is enraged that his daughter doesn’t see things in his way and Juliet is sad that Capulet doesn’t see things in her way. Juliet symbolizes young people and Capulet symbolize the old. Juliet and Capulet are being stubborn that both of them are right and not thinking about each other. Capulet probably went through a lot of trouble to fix this marriage and Juliet refuses. Juliet on the other hand, is already married but isn’t allowed to tell Capulet. The second scenario in this scene that portrays old vs. young is the Nurse and Juliet. Juliet is worried that she is being forced to marry Paris and turns to the Nurse for advice. The Nurse gives the advice that Juliet doesn’t want and Juliet gets angry and tells the nurse to leave. The Nurse was looking at the problem in a logical way while Juliet was only listening to her feelings. This portrays old vs. young because it shows that both the young and the old think they’re always right and will not listen to anything else. Issue

6. In act 5 scene 3 of the novel Romeo and Juliet there is a theme that is consistently portrayed throughout the scene. I believe this theme is love and sacrifice due to the fact that in the beginning of the scene Romeo is found laying next to Juliet talking while the sun is coming up showing the love they have for each other moreover, when the sun does come up Romeo is forced to sacrifice his time with his love Juliet to avoid getting in trouble by Juliet's mother. Moreover Juliet's mother insists for Juliet to marry Paris however Juliet refuses the offer due to her love for Romeo, unfortunately her father had wouldn't take no for an answer. Furthermore Juliet resisting the marriage shows how much she loves Romeo and how she is willing to sacrifice her parents happiness for her happiness which perfectly portrays the theme of love and sacrifice. In Addition, love is also shown through the nurse because she showed how much she cared when she came to Juliet's bedroom after Romeo left to try to cheer her up. In summary, this scene has shown a lot of love and sacrifice through all of the character therefore it is only right to use this theme, and without love and sacrifice there is no Romeo and Juliet. Theme

7. In this scene, there are a variety of literary devices used, devices like imagery, foreshadowing, personification and metaphor are used a lot. “To be to thee this night a torchbearer, and light thee on thy way to Mantua.”(3.5.14-15), in this case metaphor and imagery are both involved, Juliet compares Romeo to be a torchbearer in the night going to Mantua (a city in Italy). “More light and light, more dark and dark our woes!”(3.5.36), this line uses personification by giving light the characteristic of pain, Romeo tells Juliet that the more the light the more pain for them. “O God, I have an ill-divining soul. Methinks I see thee now, thou art so low as one dead in the bottom of a tomb.” (3.5.53-55), in this line Juliet is foreshadowing Romeo’s death, seeing Romeo’s corpse in a tomb. “O fortune, fortune! All men call thee fickle.” (3.5.59) in this you have Juliet calling fortune fickle, this is a case of personification. Language

8. Plot Rising action: the rising action of this scene is after Romeo leaves. Lady Capulet enters Juliet’s and says that Juliet should stop crying about Tybalt and that Juliet may create the poison to kill Romeo. This affects the mood by changing it to a more tensed atmosphere because Juliet’s mother is talking about killing Juliet’s husband. Climax: the climax of this scene is when Capulet and Juliet have their conflict. They fight about the marriage that Capulet has readied for Juliet but Juliet is deceived because of marrying Romeo. The argument goes on for awhile but is one-sided. It is one-sided because Capulet being the masculine one, is more aggressive and harsh. Falling action: This when Capulet and Lady Capulet leave and Juliet turns to the Nurse for advice. Everything becomes slow paced at this point and some of the tension is lessened.
