Romeo And Juliet Unit 3 Questions

Romeo and Juliet Unit 3 Questions
Act III, scene i:
1.) Taking Romeo from Verona serves as the turning point of the story. Prince indicates Romeo’s exile when he announces:“And for that offence immediately we do exile him hence.”(III.i.183)This catastrophe is the climax because Romeo as well as Juliet are the protagonists, and now they are dichotomous. It is the summit of the play because the theme is love and war. This absurd event is the summit because it is the conflicting action, that people would not expect after the marriage.
Act III, scene ii:
2.) Juliet has a status of love as she is shown stating charming tone:
“Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow’d Night,
Give me my Romeo, and when

I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in the little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven, so fine”(III.ii.20-24)
This indicates that she is in a pleased state as she just tied the knot. This is greatly indicated by her stating how amazing he is, the situation is held by marriage for her love towards Romeo. She compares him to heaven since he seems to be perfect for her. She is transformed by the act of marriage since she was first hesitant about it, and now enjoys her life with her new husband. Juliet is very thrilled in these moments as she feels like she now knows who to love.
Juliet has a touching situation of denial as she cannot settle on a side. She can’t settle on whether to grieve for the murder of Tybalt or for Romeo’s action as she states:
“Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?
Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name,
When I, thy three-hours wife, have mangl’d it?
But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin?
That villain cousin would have kill’d my husband.”(III.ii.97-101)
This demonstrates that she’s unsure because there are two sides that have an effect on her to a great extent. She cannot come to a decision right away because, up to that time she was in an immense state of love now turned into sorrow by the reports. Juliet changes as she was initially pleased and now unsure if the marriage was right for her. She doesn’t comprehend and tries to validate Romeo’s action as it was possibly due to his decease. Her state of pleasure quickly altered as the news of her cousin murder is Romeo, and now she is worried because he is banished.
Juliet has an touching state of grief as she lost the man she was recently married to. She expresses her misery as she states:
“Wash they his wounds with tears? Mine shall be spent,
When theirs are dry, for Romeo’s banishment.
Take those cords. Poor ropes, you are beguil’d,
Both you and I, for Romeo is exil’d”(III.ii.130-133)
This indicates that she is miserable since she was just wedded and had already lost the man she loved.

This means that she was feeling similar views towards Romeo since they couldn’t even be together as he is banished. She is depressed about the situation because she got a new husband that’s already deceased, she feels as it wasn’t his mistake because he just defended himself. Her feelings at the moment are filled with sorrow.
3.) Juliet changes the mood which changes her level of maturity. She implies that when she states:
“Is father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet,
All slain, all dead. ‘Romeo is banished’
There is no end, no limit, measure, bound,
In that word’s death, no words can that woe sound.”(III.ii.123-127)
Her development seems to be better than we anticipated because she understand the situation. Juliet shows this as she isn’t biased and looks outside the box. This shows her perspective on this condition. Her comparison shows that she understands that passing away can’t change its own statement, but, banishment can affect just as much as death will. Her maturity level is high as she understood the problem and looks at it in more than one

way.
Act III, scene iii:
4.) Romeo seems to indicate in this scene that the prince should have killed him instead of banishment. He tells why while he says:
“‘Tis torture, and not mercy. Heaven is here
Where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog
And little mouse, every unworthy thing,
Lives here in heaven, and may look on her,”(III.iii.29-32)
This proves that he wanted to be with Juliet until he dies and he only wants to separate their love by death. This shows that Romeo's exile is torture as he doesn’t want to be separated from Juliet along with going to heaven to see her, as heaven is what seems to be what people desires the most. All this evidence indicates that Romeo would rather die than be separated by his love Juliet, because he can’t live without her.
5.) Romeo is shown to be very immature in this scene. His immaturity is shown when he states: “But purgatory, torture, hell itself: hence ‘Banished’ is banish'd from the world, and world’s exile is death; then ‘banished’,”(III.iii.17-20) These words indicate that Romeo is over exaggerating. This is unnecessary because he was just been banished from Verona and not the entire world. The word purgatory, torture, hell itself is over exaggerating as the world outside of Verona shouldn’t be that bad. This over exaggeration is showing that his maturity level is low because what he states is unnecessary. Romeo maturity level is shown to be low. This is further proved when he states:“Shot from the deadly level of a gun, did murder her, as that name’s cursed hand murder’d her kinsman”(III.iii.103-108) He is very immature because he thinks that he killed Juliet by killing Tybalt and isn’t worried about his banishment with his reputation. He only cares because he can’t see Juliet. He takes this event twisted as it may affect an aspect of his life. Romeo is talking as if his nobility ended his love life. He has a low maturity level which is shown in his over exaggerated and unnatural speech.
Act III, scene iv:
6.) This is an act of dramatic irony because Capulet doesn’t know. The irony Capulet’s conservation with Paris is shown when he states:
“Prepare her, wife, against this wedding-day.
Farewell, my lord. Light to my chamber, ho!
Afore me! it is so very very late,that we
May call it early by and by. Good night.”(III.iv.32-35)
This is ironic because Juliet has already been married. It is dramatic mockery because the audience knows that Juliet has already tied the knot, however Capulet and Paris don’t know that. This mockery is very effective as this can oppose a chance for Juliet because the man she was married to is now exiled. This piece of evidence is very effective because the audience knows that there is a possibility that this will occur. This is further pushed on the fact Juliet’s cousin was killed so that may change her mind on the matter at hand. This is ironic because Capulet thinks that Juliet will get married but, she already married with the killer of Tybalt.
Act III, scene v:
7.) Nurse seems to delude Juliet in her relationship with Romeo. It is shown as she is caught saying to:
“Faith, here it is.
Romeo is banish'd; and all the world to nothing,
That he dares ne'er come back to challenge you;
Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth.
Then, since the case so stands as now it doth,
I think it best you married with the county.
O, he's a lovely gentleman!”(III.v.213-218)
This act of betrayal exhibits her thoughts on Juliet taking significance in someone else because Romeo has gone astray. This is a sign of disloyalty because Juliet has been married to the man, and Nurse is already hinting to marry another. She heavily implies this when, she is suggesting to go along with her parents plan, and marry Paris. This shows that she is comparable to her actual mother in this scene. She wants Juliet to have the best life by marrying Paris for her family’s sake, not the happiest. Juliet doesn’t want to marry so soon, because she barely met the man and is still faithful to Romeo. This is an act of dishonesty to Juliet because Nurse is acting just like her mother in this situation.
