  5. Act 1 Scene 3, lines 16-48 • Nurse: Even or odd, all the days of the year, • Come Lammas Eve at night shall she be fourteen. • Susan and she (God rest all Christian souls!) • Were of an age. Well, Susan is with God: • She was too good for me. But, as I said, • On Lammas Eve at night shall she be fourteen: • That shall she, marry: I remember it well. • 'Tis since the earthquake now eleven years. • And she was weaned (I never shall forget it. . . monologue

  6. Act 2 Scene 3, lines 1-30 • Friar: The gray-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night, • Check'ring the eastern clouds with streaks of light; • And flecked darkness like a drunkard reels • From forth day's path and Titan's burning wheels. • Now, ere the sun advance his burning eye • The day to cheer and night's dank dew to dry, • I must upfill this osier cage of ours. . . soliloquy

  7. Act 1 Scene 1 lines72- 94 • Prince: Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, • Profaners of this neighbor-stained steel— • Will they not hear? What, ho! You men, you beasts, • That quench the fire of your pernicious rage • With purple fountains issuing from your veins! • On pain of torture, from those bloody hands. . . monologue

  8. Act 3 Scene 2, lines 1-31 • Juliet: Gallop, apace, you fiery-footed steeds, • Towards phoebus's lodging! Such a wagoner • As Phaeton would whip you to the west • And bring in a cloudy night immediately, • Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night, • That runaways' eyes may wink, and Romeo • Leap to these arms untalked of and unseen. . . soliloquy

  9. Act 4 Scene 3, lines 14-58 • Juliet: Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again. • I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins • That almost freezes up the heat of life. • I'll call them back again to comfort me. • Nurse!--What should she do here? • My dismal scene I needs must act alone. . . soliloquy

  10. Act 4 Scene 5, lines 65-85 • Friar: Peace, ho, for shame! Confusion's cure lives not • In these confusions. Heaven and yourself • Had part in this fair maid—now heaven hath all, • And all the better is it for the maid, • Your part in her you could not keep from death. • But heaven keeps his part in eternal life. . . monologue

  11. Act 2 Scene 2 lines 2-24 • Romeo: But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? • It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! • Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, • Who is already sick and pale with grief • That thou her maid art far more fair than she • Be not her maid, since she is envious. . . soliloquy

  12. HOW DO I TELL THE DIFFERENCE? • ASK YOURSELF: • WHO IS THE INTENDED AUDIENCE? • IS THERE ANYONE ON STAGE? • ARE THE PEOPLE ON STAGE SUPPOSED TO HEAR THIS? • DOES THIS GIVE INSIGHT INTO THE PRIVATE THOUGHTS OF THE SPEAKER?
