O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,
From off the battlements of any tower,
Or walk in thievish ways, or bid me lurk
Where serpents are. Chain me with roaring bears, (IV.i.77-81)
Who is Juliet?
"Send for the County. Go tell him of this. / I'll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning." (IV.ii.24-25)
Who is Capulet?
"Sleep for a week, for the next night, I warrant, / The Country Paris hath set up his rest / That you shall rest but little." (IV.v.7-9)
Who is Nurse?
How does Juliet fool Paris into thinking she likes him?
She uses pronouns and never uses names.
Then she is well and nothing can be ill.
Her body sleeps in Capels' monument,
And her immortal part with angels live.
I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault
And presently took post to tell you. (V.i.18-22)
Who is Balthasar?
What literary term is shown and what is being said in the following lines:
Friar Lawrence:"Come, is the bride ready for church?"
Irony
The parents thought it would be for her wedding but Friar knew it was for her funeral.
A glooming peace this morning with it brings.
The sun for sorrow will not show his head.
Go hence to have more talk of these sad things.
Some shall be pardoned, and some punished.
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo. (V.iii.316-321)
Who is Prince?
