Characters
Who is the first character to discover Juliet's seemingly lifeless body?
The Nurse
What happens to the Montague-Capulet feud following the deaths of Romeo, Juliet, and Paris?
It ends - Capulet and Montague reconcile, vowing to build golden statues of each others' children in their honour and to commemorate their deaths.
The fight to the death between Romeo and Paris best reflects the theme of:
Revenge and Violence.
Romeo: "I dreamt my lady came and found me dead" is an example of this literary device:
Foreshadowing (Romeo does end up in a situation where Juliet finds him dead)
Who begins funeral preparations after learning of Juliet's "death"?
Capulet
Why does Paris confront Romeo at the vault?
Paris wants to apprehend Romeo, because he is a criminal/murderer who is supposed to be banished from Verona.
The reconciliation between Montague and Capulet following Romeo and Juliet's death best reflects the theme of:
Family Loyalty and Conflict
Juliet: "O bid me leap, rather than marry Paris, / From off the battlements of any tower" can be taken literally (considering it's Juliet), but is also considered to be an example of this literary device:
Hyperbole (She's stating that she would rather die than marry Paris, expressing how strongly against the marriage she is)
Who provides Juliet with a sleeping potion to help her avoid marrying Paris?
Friar Lawrence
What does Romeo ask Balthazar to deliver before entering the vault?
A letter to his father, informing him of his relationship with Juliet, his purchase of a poison from the apothecary, and the plan to come to the vault to lie beside Juliet in death.
Romeo's decision to illegally purchase poison and trespass into Verona to see Juliet's body best reflects the theme of:
Powerful Emotions and Impulsivity
Capulet: "O son, the night before thy wedding day / Hath Death lain with thy wife. There she lies, / Flower as she was, deflowered by him" is an example of this literary device:
Personification (Death is described to have been sleeping with Paris' to-be wife, Juliet)
Who informs Romeo that Juliet is dead?
Balthazar
Why doesn't Romeo receive Friar Lawrence's letter?
Friar John gets quarantined due to the outbreak of a plague, leaving him unable to travel to Mantua.
Friar Lawrence's letter not reaching Romeo and Juliet waking up a moment after Romeo's death are two instances that best reflect the theme of:
Fate and Choice
Capulet: "Our instruments to melancholy bells, / Our wedding cheer to sad burial feast; / Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change; / Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse" is an example of these two literary devices:
-Juxtaposition (opposing ideas of marriage and funeral elements)
-Anaphora ("Our" repetition)
Who calls the Watch when a fight breaks out between Romeo and Paris?
(Paris’) Page
What are TWO of the fears/worries Juliet expresses when considering whether to drink the sleeping potion or not?
-The potion will do nothing and the marriage will go through.
-The potion is actually poison and a means for Friar Lawrence to reclaim his honour.
-Romeo will arrive too late (she will suffocate in the vault/tomb)
-She will go mad from being surrounded by corpses/bodies when she wakes
Capulet and Juliet reconcile after she repents for her sins of obedience and swears that she will never go against him again. This demonstration of loyalty and submission from a daughter to her father best reflects the theme of:
Marriage and Cultural Expectations
Paris: "Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt's death, / And therefore have I little talk'd of love, / For Venus smiles not in a house of tears." is an example of these 3 literary devices:
-Dramatic Irony (she's not weeping for Tybalt's death, but Romeo's banishment)
-Allusion (Alludes to Venus, the Roman goddess of love)
-Metaphor (Compares the Capulet household to a "house of tears")
