The story of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is a tragic love story filled with a roller coaster of emotions. Juliet has found out from Lady Capulet that she has to marry Count Paris on Thursday morning and Juliet refuses since her heart is Romeo’s. Her parents disowned Juliet after her defiance, and Nurse encouraged her to just marry the count, so she ran to Friar Lawrence. The Friar told her to drink a potion he brewed that would make her look dead for two days. When she wakes up she will be in the tomb and Romeo will be there to help her escape, so they can be together. In the passage, Juliet is in her room speaking to herself about Friar Lawrence’s plan Wednesday night in Verona. The language of this passage reveals Juliet’s …show more content…
She doesn’t do that in this scene or attempts to, which shows her understanding that she is alone. To further prove, this quote shows her relying on herself since she fears if the plan doesn’t work she dies from someone else’s hands and not her own. In the beginning of the quote she mentions that if she has to get married Thursday morning then she will use a knife on herself to forbid it, but at the end of the passage she says that she fears that the Friar made the potion to kill her, not to put her to sleep. After doubting the Friar, Juliet uses the phrase “And yet me thinks it should not”. The word “thinks” is a hesitant word, but “should” is not. This sentence shows how Juliet grew from hesitant to sure of her conclusion made on her own, isolated in her room. Ultimately, Juliet relies on herself by using her own reasoning to answer her concerns. Following the passage, Juliet mentions her becoming isolated many times when she imagines terrible outcomes of the plan, uncovering her realization that she is alone in the moment. For example, after doubting Friar Lawrence’s planning, Juliet exclaims, “How if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo
Did you know that Romeo and Juliet was one of the biggest love story of all time. Romeo and Juliet is a story of two star-crossed lovers from two families the Capulets and the Montagues. The Capulets and the Montague had a big fight that made the families very angry at each other. Romeo and Juliet decide to get married. The two couple marry and run away. In the process both of them will die. When it comes to Romeo and Juliet who are the top three people that caused the two to die. The two people that are chosen are Friar Lawrence and Lady Capulet. Friar was chosen because he is the one that married Romeo and Juliet. Lady Capulet was chosen because she is forcing Juliet to marry Paris which is making Juliet want Romeo even more. The third thing
During this passage Juliet is left alone clenching the vial Friar Lawrence brewed for her to fall into a deep sleep. The intended plan was for Juliet to trick everyone that she was dead and therefore be placed inside of a tomb. Romeo would be informed that she is only pretending to be dead. He would then come and rescue her and live happily ever after. But as Juliet thinks more deeply into the plan she begins to realise how much she is putting herself at risk.
Juliet strategizes her disastrous plan and worries, “How if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me?” (Lines 30-32 of Act Four, Scene Three). Juliet is desperate to see Romeo, ergo she plans to fake her death. Her thoughts of Romeo finding her lifeless foreshadows their future. Romeo is deprived of the news of Juliet’s real state of health, therefore he says, “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. O mischief, thou art swift to enter the thoughts of desperate men!” (Lines 34-36 of Act Five, Scene One). Once again, Romeo’s perception is only focused on Juliet. His mental instability leads him to think Paris is in the way obtaining true happiness, thus he slays him. Romeo acquires poison, stands beside Juliet, and states, “Here’s to my love! (Drinks.) O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.” (Lines 119-120 of Act Five, Scene Three). Romeo observes Juliet’s body and determines that he should die beside her. Juliet wakes to his lifeless body, and determines she should commit suicide, as well. Romeo’s foolish decisions lead to the death of himself and
The Friar says that Juliet’s only option to get out of marrying the County Paris is to kill herself. His encouragement invokes the idea for Juliet to drink the potion. Trusting Juliet with a sleeping potion and the idea of killing herself showcases his rashness and that he is incapable of being a true friar. When giving Juliet the potion, after invoking the idea of killing herself, he trusts Juliet will follow through with his plan.
In Act IV, scene III of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is forced to make a decision; take a sleeping potion gifted to her by Friar Laurence and risk possibly being stuck in the Capulet family tomb, or marry Paris. To her, marrying Paris is not an option and so she drinks the vile. Although, before consuming the Friar’s remedy, Juliet expresses her worries in her soliloquy. To do this, Shakespeare manipulates imagery and the rhetorical device of questioning to reveal his main character’s deepest and darkest fears.
Many people have fears of things that they are afraid of. It’s natural to have fears because it’s part of human nature. In the play Juliet has to decide wether or not to drink the potion. In Shakespeare’s play he shows Juliet’s fear by using choice of words and imagery.
" All the things that Juliet has feared in the past, she is willing to do - anything but marry Paris! After talking to the Friar, he hands Juliet the potion that is the sub... ... middle of paper ... ...'s impossible for her to be with Romeo as well as her family. She is choosing Romeo over her family by drinking the vial, as she does finally drink the potion after repeatedly chanting Romeo's name. She had got herself into such a state, but she has regained calmness by this point (the rhythm of the lines returns to the original rhythm, showing that she is no longer hysterical).
Who would be willing to die for their loved ones? Romeo and Juliet would and did. Romeo and Juliet’s love and death brought two families together who could not even remember the origin of their hate. When the parents saw what their children's love for each other, they realized that their fighting had only led to suffering and insoluble conflict. Romeo and Juliet loved each other to an extent that they killed themselves rather than live apart. They did it with no hiatus. Juliet says before she kills herself, “O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die.”( 5, 3, 182-183) demonstrating how she would rather die than not be with him.
Lines 36-39 and 41-52 of Act 2; Scene 2, are significant to me because they have distinct levels of understanding and meaning to the play. Line 41 goes back to the original conflict that Romeo and Juliet are from feuding houses, the Capulets and the Montagues. It shows that Juliet does not want her family to fight the Montagues, and that she believes it is ridiculous because it is not the people they hate and fight it is their name, Montague. The section I chose reveals that the kids, Romeo and Juliet, feel that they can not have what they want because of the parents’ feuds. It makes you feel as helpless as they are, because you know that with their parents’ permission to get married, they would be happy.
To begin, Romeo says that he likes to be found dead for Juliet to kiss him and come back to life once again. For example, he says that he dreamt “...[his] lady came and found [him] dead / And breathed such life with kisses in my lips / That I revived and was an emperor” (V.i.6,8-9) in which was particularly located in Mantua. This quote is essential because it shows the audience that Romeo thinks that himself is a positive thing in his dream. Furthermore, he feels that this would mean that something splendid is going to occur. In conclusion, Romeo desires to be dead so that Juliet would come to kiss him and bring him back alive. Specifically, Romeo truly has kept his promises to Juliet in William Shakespeare’s novel Romeo and Juliet. As an
Juliet is devastated by the thought of Romeo’s banishment, desperate for her wedding night to come, and she threatens to kill herself if Romeo does not come to her. Juliet quickly changes from being desperate for the wedding night to suicidal. Romeo’s banishment is equivalent to death in her eyes and Juliet says, “death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead” (Shakespeare 3.2.137). Juliet’s intensity of her love for Romeo is so immense, it has the potential to be catastrophic. Without Romeo in her life, Juliet feels
Juliet receives a vial containing a potion from Friar Lawrence, who has a plan that will make Juliet appear as if she is dead, so that when she awakens, she will unite with Romeo. Juliet considers several consequences before drinking the potion, such as losing her sanity or being buried alive. Despite her reasoning, she summons the courage to drink the potion, exclaiming “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s to a drink.
“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/ Her vestal livery is but sick and green/ And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off!/ It is my lady. Oh, it is my love/ Oh, that she knew she were!” (Shakespeare II ii 2-11).
In the poem “Juliet’s Soliloquy”, Juliet is alone in her chamber as she holds her vessel of poison. As Juliet expresses her fears in the heart-felt soliloquy, the complete severity of the situation weighs heavy on her mind. She thinks, “What if the potion is unsuccessful or does not work?” She wonders has the Friar deceived her and given her real poison instead of the nonpoisonous, so that no one discovers that he dishonorably wedded her to Romeo in disclosure. Juliet quickly gets rid of these difficult and unbearable situations and thoughts to be untrue. She still worries that she will find herself conscious in the hot and cr...
In The movie "Freedom of my mind" is a look into the radical history of The United States Of America's Past. This landmark film tells the story of the Mississippi freedom movement in the early 1960s when a handful of young activists changed history. In the beginning, When Bob Moses, a young Harvard student at the time, came to Mississippi in 1961 to head up the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee's voter registration drive, a black man could be convicted of "eye rape" for looking at a white woman; all African Americans were denied the right to vote. The first man to accompany Moses to the courthouse to register, a farmer named Herbert Lee, was later shot dead by a state legislature. This Event in the movie Particularly struck out to
