  • Tell me not, friar, that thou hear’st of this, Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it: If, in thy wisdom, thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I’ll help it presently. God join’d my heart and Romeo’s, thou our hands; And ere this hand, by thee to Romeo seal’d, Shall be the label to another deed, Or my true heart with treacherous revolt Turn to another, this shall slay them both: Therefore, out of thy long-experienced time, Give me some present counsel, or, behold, ’Twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife Shall play the umpire, arbitrating that Which the commission of thy years and art Could to no issue of true honour bring. Be not so long to speak; I long to die, If what thou speak’st speak not of remedy.

      Juliet speaks of dying instead of marrying Paris. She said that she would kill herself if Friar Laurence's plan fails. This is kind of foreshadowing, because her plan will fail and she'll die

      foreshadowing also happens when she speaks of the knife and god joining her heart because she ends up stabbing herself in the heart anyway.

      This is also one of the first times that Juliet is getting mad at the friar. This could cause later conflict when the time comes for Paris and Juliet to get married. The friar is put into a major crisis and he has to find a way to please the Capulets and not mary Paris and Juliet together. That seems impossible!

      In the sixth line I got really confused...but if you look at it a different way it's just saying that God married them spiritually, and the Friar married them physically. Got it now!!=)

      And I also think she's telling the Friar that if he doesnt know what to do or give her any advice, then she will just kill herself so that she doesnt have to deal with this anymore because she doesnt know what to do.

      Although I think she's also afraid to kill herself because if everything plays out then she'll have killed herself for nothing.

      This is one of the first times Juliet is talking seriously about suicide, before she was joking or exaggerating, now shes seriously suicidal. (SSS)

  • And this distilled liquor drink thou off; When presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humour, for no pulse Shall keep his native progress, but surcease: No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest; The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade To paly ashes, thy eyes’ windows fall, Like death, when he shuts up the day of life; Each part, deprived of supple government, Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death:

      Juliet has no pulse and appears dead when she drinks the potion but in a while she will wake up... i dont know if that is possible is that possible

      Do you think this could be a similar allusion to Snow White? Just putting it out there.

      When Friar Laurence says "Like death, when he shuts up the day of life;" it reminds me of the light vs dark and how death will kill Juliet, the sun or the light

      I agree with Rick, but it couldn't be an allusion to Snow White, it would be that Snow White is making the allusion to Romeo and Juliet.
    • Katie Cooper
      Katie Cooper on 27 Jan 11
       
      Okay.....so the potion will make it look like she's dead...but shes still alive. How can that be possible for her to be alive if she has no pulse?
    • Justice(Ursula) Lara
      Justice(Ursula) Lara on 27 Jan 11
       
      Its not possible there is no such potion i looked it up and it cant be an allusion to snow white because snow white was actually dead and wouldnt have woken up at all but juliet only looked dead and wouldve woken up anyway she didnt need her "prince kiss"
    • Katie Cooper
      Katie Cooper on 27 Jan 11
       
      I thought in Snow White she wasn't actually dead, she was just under a spell from the apple?
    • Katie Cooper
      Katie Cooper on 27 Jan 11
       
      And maybe the potion is real in the story...because the story isn't real, it's made up isnt it? I would agree with Rick and Braden.
    • Justice(Ursula) Lara
      Justice(Ursula) Lara on 27 Jan 11
       
      No the potion is real in the story but not in real life i think someone asked if its possible to have no pulse and look dead but still be alive and its not... not yet atleast
    • Michaela Dalton
      Michaela Dalton on 27 Jan 11
       
      The idea of it being an allusion to Snow White is interesting and I think in a way it is an allusion but Justice is right in that Juliet doesn't wait for her "magic kiss."

      juliet's dad thinks that if paris and Juliet get married it will make her not be sad about Tybalt's death anymore but he does not know that she is happier that tybalt died instead of romeo.
    • Madelene Pena

      Lord Capulet is unaware of Juliets marriage to Romeo. Juliet is inundated with tears because of her fathers intention of Juliet marrying Paris. In my view, Juliet is inundating tears for the thought of putting shame on her family name and going against her fathers arranged marriage. She would rather follow her love than her culture.
    • Morgan Biddle
      Morgan Biddle on 29 Jan 11
       
      I think it's so sweet that she loves Romeo so much to disobey her father and her culture just to keep their love pure. What person would do that in this point of time? This play sure was easier to understand than I expected!

      Little does paris know that when juliet says "i love him" the him is romeo and not paris like paris thinks. Dramatic irony pops its head again because we know somthing he doesn't know

      Venus is the godess of love according to mythology so what hes saying is that love doesnt like tears so if they get married she will be happy and will stop mourning tybalts death

      Yet marriage back then was only for money and status gain so would this really distract her from the grief?
    • Justice(Ursula) Lara
      Justice(Ursula) Lara on 30 Jan 11
       
      no because making her get married she will still grieve over romeo but the capulets dont know that.
    • Andy Moe

      I love it how Paris has no idea that the marriage between Romeo and Juliet has happened. Isn't this situational irony because we know something that the character doesn't.
    • Nate McLaughlin

      I believe that would be dramatic irony. When the audience knows something that a character doesn't.

      I dont understand why Paris doesn't say something to Juliet when she says she loves "him," when it should have been "you." It just doesn't seem like that line is very realistic due to the fact that anyone would question the comment she said when she said "him." 
  • 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!

  • That living mortals, hearing them, run mad:— O, if I wake, shall I not be distraught, Environed with all these hideous fears? And madly play with my forefather’s joints? And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud? And, in this rage, with some great kinsman’s bone, As with a club, dash out my desperate brains? O, look! methinks I see my cousin’s ghost Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body Upon a rapier’s point: stay, Tybalt, stay! Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee.

      Juliet's thoughts about the Friar turning against her and how Romeo will be too late and see her dead has turned Juliet crazy to the point where she imagines her cousin's ghost looking for Romeo.

    • Nate McLaughlin
      Nate McLaughlin on 27 Jan 11
       
      This whole paragraph is full of dramatic irony. Both Paris and Lord Capulet believe that she is crying over Tybalt and that the marriage will stop her tears, but while she does grieve for Tybalt, she mainly cries over Romeo's banishment and her being forced into marriage.
  • Now, sir, her father counts it dangerousThat she doth give her sorrow so much sway,
    • Michaela Dalton
      Michaela Dalton on 27 Jan 11
       
      Juliet's father believes it's dangerous for Juliet to be so sad about Tybalt's death. He believes that having her marry Paris she will no longer have to greave.
    • Kaitlynn Hand
      Kaitlynn Hand on 27 Jan 11
       
      Even though the total opposite would happen because if she does have to marry Paris then She will be sad about Tybalt, marrying paris, and not being with romeo. I think in some ways Juliets father is to blame for both of their deaths. Like more blame then the other parents, because he was the one the forced this marriage upon her. If he didn't do that then Juliet wouldn't of pretended to be dead.
  • Juliet Ay, those attires are best: but, gentle nurse, I pray thee, leave me to my self to-night, For I have need of many orisons To move the heavens to smile upon my state, Which, well thou know’st, is cross, and full of sin.

      There are a couple of things about this scene that seem odd to me. Lady Capulet is not at all suspicious of Juliet's request to sleep alone even though she recently told them of how much she despised the idea of marrying Paris. I would think that the parents would want to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't try to run away or something like that. Also, I don't get why the nurse doesn't get a single line in this passage when she has shown herself to be a very talkative character in the past.

      Friar Laurence tries to get out of this by telling Paris that it's too fast for a wedding and that he doesn't like it because he doesn't know how Juliet truly feels.
    • Emily Eribes
      Emily Eribes on 27 Jan 11
       
      I think this an example of situational irony because both the audience and Friar Laurence know something that Paris does not.

      I agree with Emily. Paris does not know that Juliet loves and has married Romeo, not him.
  • See where she comes from shrift with merry look
    • Emily Eribes
      Emily Eribes on 27 Jan 11
       
      The nurse notices that Juliet seems to be merry, or happy; however, the audience knows that this mood is only Juliet's disguise in order to trick her family.
  • I’ll go and chat with Paris: hie, make haste, Make haste; the bridegroom he is come already: Make haste, I say.
    • Emily Eribes
      Emily Eribes on 27 Jan 11
       
      I think that Capulet is rushing the nurse and the situation because he is afraid that Juliet may change her mind, causing things to go wrong. Is this a form of dramatic irony since the audience knows that Juliet will not go through with marrying Paris?

      On that last line, I think she is saying that she has no free will, essentially because she is locked in this marriage that she doesn't want to be apart of. So she is saying that no matter what she will always belong to her father.

      It's easy to tell that Paris and Juliet don't have the same connection as Romeo and Juliet in Act 4. Why would Juliet even think of marrying Paris? What would be the point?

      The relationship between Juliet and Friar Laurence is very important. He does not tell people she already married Romeo and he help her throught this whole situation.
  • You say you do not know the lady’s mind
  • The horrible conceit of death and night,
  • Ready to go, but never to return.O son! the night before thy wedding-dayHath Death lain with thy wife. There she lies,Flower as she was, deflowered by him.Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir;My daughter he hath wedded: I will die,And leave him all; life, living, all is Death’s.
    • Paul Wilson
      Paul Wilson on 03 Feb 11
       
      "She has died and never will return, Romeo has taken her from me, from her husband to be wed, Paris, the day before her wedding day and no longer will he be able to marry her and be his heir, therfore death to him as my heir, death to him. I will die and leave no heir, and no wife for him." Shakespeare uses personifaction as well to describe Juliet, "Flower as she was, deflowered by him." as he says that she was deflowered by Romeo. And no longer will she be able to marry paris, and be an heir to the thrown of Capulet, which he is most upset about.
