BHS pre-AP9

Lady Capulet never really showed her care for her daughter until now which is really upsetting on her part.

Paris is trying to get Juliet to say that she loves him, but she goes around the question by telling Paris how much she loves Friar Laurence. Paris then tells Juliet that he loves her. This shows how she could never love anyone else beside Romeo.

i agree, and think its also her way of hiding from him that she truly doe not want to marry him.

Juliet's attitude is very confident right now in the fact that she has no second thoughts about the potion and she immediately asks for it. She doesn't want to be told anything negative about the potion and it seems that she will do anything to not marry Paris.

Do you think that she would do anything not to marry Paris? Even kill herself? If she did kill herself then Romeo would eventually find out and kill himself. Do you think that could have been another way to end the book given what the play said at the beginning?

How can Paris assume Juliet will marry him? She has to choose between Romeo, her love, or her family. Her family will disown her if she doesn't marry Paris, but isn't a theme of Romeo and Juliet love? Doesn't that include the love between a parent and child? Or was that nonexistent because they don't care about her opinion of Paris?

Paris assumes this because he is unaware that Juliet is already married. Like Ms. Costly said in class, "It would be very awkward for Juliet to tell her parents that she is already married."  i dont know if her parents would disown her, would they?   

Juliet is worrying about what will happen when she wakes. She is also talking about when she is laid in the tomb she will be next to the dead Tybalt. She thinks that Tybalt's ghost will haunt Romeo for his death.

I most definitely concur with you!  In my perspective, Juliet has become way too paranoid and she should learn that the dead can't hurt you.  It's the living that can and will.

This foreshadows Romeo's death.

In this paragraph, Friar Lawrence is telling Juliet how she can evade her marriage with Paris and live happily with Romeo in Mantua.  She must drink this strange liquid in a vial that will make her appear dead when she is actually just sleeping.  Her nurse will try to wake her up until she realizes that Juliet is "dead".  Juliet's funeral will take place the same day and her body will be placed near Tybalt's.  Then, the Friar will notify Romeo about the situation and how he will need to go get her in the tomb of the Capulets and take her to Mantua with him.  

Lord capulet says to change all the things to the contrary for which is true for everything he knows about Juliet. Juliet has told him many lies the opposite of all of them is the truth.
