 * 1.Who speaks the Prologue?**
 * 2. What is the purpose of the Prologue?**
 * 3. In what poetic form is this Prologue?**

//"From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life..."// It talks about the two main rich families in this story and how much each family and even their slaves hate the other family. It also takes about how much Romeo and Juliet love each other and what their terrible fate would be.
 * 4. Highlight lines 5 and 6. Explain the importance of these two lines.**

Maybe to prepare us of hte outcome, and maybe to focus more on the relationship and life of Romeo and Juliet.
 * 5.Why does Shakespeare tell us how the story is going to end?**

Themes established in the Prologue are love, anger and fate.
 * 6. What themes are established in the Prologue?**

=ACT 1 SCENE 1=
 * 1. How does Shakespeare start the play so that he gains the attention of the “groundlings?”** He started the play by a fued bewteen both of the families servants. This gains the attension of the groundling because their able to relate to the situtation becasue most are in the same position.

//"Part, fools! Put up our swords. You know not what you do."// He really inforces and reminds both families servants that what they want to do is really wrong and they shouldnt do that.
 * 2. Highlight lines 58-59. Our first introduction to Benvolio comes when he says these words. What do they reveal about his character?**

//"What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee Benvolio! Look upon thy death.//" Tybalt is a truble maker, headed and has a temper. He always wants to start somthing and annoy someone.
 * 3. Highlight lines 64-65. Our first impression of Tybalt occurs in these lines. What do we learn about his character?**

//"And, Montague, come you this afternoon, To Know our farther pleasure in this case".// The Princes tone is powerful and serious. He really shows the townspeople whos in charge and who should be listened to. He declares that "To know our farther pleasure in this case". Which means basically the next person who starts to reponds to start a fight will be torutured or worse, their fate my be decided to death.
 * 4. Highlight lines 90-91. What is the tone of the Prince’s speech? In these lines he makes a new decree. What is it, and why is it important?**

Romeo he is "in love" with Roselyin or so he thinks he is. He goes off alone thinking about her and thier love. He loves being in love but doesnt realize what the true word means or ways of expressing it. He loves how pretty she is, and graceful but doesnt know the girl very well. He feels that its a sin but a sin worth it. This love created more strees on Romeo than he needs in his life, but at the same time can make everything better.
 * 5. When we first see Romeo he shows all the signs of a** **Petrarchan Lover****—** **idea of being in love .How does Romeo act (lines 125-136)?**

Romeo is showing the readers how unhappy, miserable and confused he is towards his love towards Rosaline. Its used to help the reader relate to what Romeos feeling, confused. It also gives some meaning and interesting touches to when Romeos talking, also gives us more background about how confused he is.
 * 6. When describing his feelings to Benvolio, Romeo uses Oxymorons—pairs of contradictory words in lines 170-177 and 184-188. Why does he speak in contradictions and paradoxes?**

**What suggestion does Benvolio make to Romeo to help him get over is unrequited love for Rosaline (lines 221-223)?** Benvolio gives Romeo great adivce. He tells him to look around at other pretty ladies and compare them to Rosaline to see if shes still the prettest one and if he still feels the same way after looking at other ladies. basically he saying "theres other fish in the sea".
 * 7. We then learn that Romeo is suffering from Unrequited Love—He loves someone who does not love him back. **

= ACT 1 SCENE 2 =

Lord Capulet reasures Paris that he is the man that he wants to marry his daughter Juliet, but he makes a point where Juliet is still very young and yet doesnt understand love and the speckrum of that area. She hasnt experinced much and Capulet wants Juliet to gain a little more age and understanding of the world before he goes off and marries her. Also he makes a point that his wife was forced into marriage way too young, and its basically broken them apart and he doesnt want that to happen to his daughter. He wants Juliet to love Paris all on her own before she marries him so that hopefully she wont resent him and her father when shes older.
 * 1. In this scene Lord Capulet talks to Paris about marrying his daughter Juliet. What two reasons does he give for not wanting Juliet to marry at this time (lines 8-14)?**

"But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart;** //My will to her consent is but a part. And she agree, within her scope of choice. Lies on my consent and fair according voice".// While Pairs waits for Juliet to become of age to marry, Capulet wants Paris to show and convince her how great he is. Lord Capulet wants his daughter to love Paris and not be forced to marry someone shes doesnt life or know.
 * 2. Highlight line 16-19. On what condition will Lord Capulet agree to Juliet’s marriage with Paris?

**3. What does this reveal about Lord Capulet’s love for his daughter?** It reveals that Lord Capulet is not like every other father in this time. Hes not forcing his daughter to marry Paris if she doesnt want to. He shows that he really cares and loves his daughter, he really wantes to make Juliet happy, whatever the cost to him.


 * 4. From the servant who cannot read we learn that Rosaline, with whom Romeo believes he is in love, will be at the Capulet party. Why does this excite Benvolio? What is his plan (lines 84-89)?**

Benvolio sees this as an opportuinty to show Romeo that Rosaline isnt that pretty. He wants Romeo to compare all the ladies at the mascare party to Rosaline to see if Romeo still feels that hes in love with her, and if he still thinks shes the prettest lady in Verona. Benvoilio assures Romeo that by seeing all these Beautiful ladies that he will fall for another extremly pretty lady and think that Rosaline is ugly.

**5. Highlight lines 86-89. Explain Benvolio's analogy.** "//At this same ancient feast of Capulet's Sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so loves,// //With all the admired beauties of Verona Go thither, and with unattainted eye Compare her face with some that I shall show And i will make thee think thy swan a crow"// Benvolio wants to prove to Romeo that there are better looking people than Rosaline and that she wasnt the girl for Romeo.

**6. Why does Romeo agree to go to the party (lines 102-103)?** Romeo will only go to the party to see Rosaline. Hell only go to basque in her beauty and to see her, and to be with Rosaline.

Both Romeo and Juliet are going to be at the Party, and their both enemies. Love is the theme, and Romeo doesnt want to go to this party envolving his enemy but because his love Rosaline is going and he wants to be with her so he goes along as well. = ACT 1 SCENE 3 = **In this scene Lady Capulet is informing Juliet and her nurse of Count Paris’ proposal of marriage. 1. What is the nurse’s relationship with Juliet?** The Nurse is close with Juliet. Shes able to have alot of laughs with her and able to be serious to. The nurses is sorta of Juliets servant but was also her wet nurse. The Nurse almost has a better relationship with Juliet than her own mother. It seems that the nurse cares more about juliet than her own mother, and she cares more about her feelings, where her mother doesnt. It seems almost as though her mother hates her, for being pregant young and almost ruining her life.
 * 7. What coincidence takes place in this scene? Explain what theme is being developed.**

The Nurse is very funny and always is seen in the play as laughing and having a good time.She is loud and quirky, the nurse makes her pressence very known. The Nurse was esstionally brought in for a humorous part in the play to realive tension.
 * 2. How would you describe the nurse’s personality?**

"//Peace, I have done. God mark thee to his grace, Thou wast the prettiest babe that ever I nursed. And I might live to see thee married once, I have my wish."// The nurse wishes that Juliet will happily marry, and that she marries the man she like when the nurse is still around and is actively still apart of Juliets life.
 * 3. Highlight lines 62-63. What is the nurse’s one wish for Juliet and why?**

she anwsers "it is an honour i dream not of". She hasnt really put much thought nor effort into the decession process of being married to Paris. She consireds it but isnt quite convinced of Paris and marriage, shes still just a kid a doesnt quite understand grownup things quite yet. She thinks marriage is an honour, but something shes just not quite ready for.
 * 4. When Lady Capulet asks Juliet how she feels about being married, what is Juliet’s answer (line 67), and what does it reveal about her character?**

The nurse says Paris is “a man of wax” and at the end of the scene encourages Juliet to “Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days.” What does the nurse see in Paris, and what does it reveal about her attitude toward love and marriage?** The nurse thinks that paris is like a "pretty picture", something nice to look at. The only problem about people like him is that looks dont always matter and if the person bhind the looks isnt a very nice person, it will shift your mood completly whiether you like him or not. The nurse is sort of saying along the lines of that but she is kind of warning Juliet to get to know him; all she wants really is for her to be happy.
 * 5. The nurse and Lady Capulet are both excited and pleased by Paris’ proposal but for different reasons.

Lady Capulet believes with every bone in her body that Paris is an exelent match for Juliet in everyway. He is handsome and has money and Lady Capulet wants to marry her daughter off if she likes him or not. Lady Capulet is a hypocrite when it comes to love and marriage. She is unhappy in her marriage because she was forced into it when she was the age of Juliet but yet she is forcing Juliet do have the same faith as her. Its unfair to Juliet and Paris as well.
 * 6. Lady Capulet’s lines 82-95 compose a** conceit. A conceit is an extended, exaggerated comparison or metaphor between two unlike things **—in this case, between Paris and a book that needs to be bound. What does Lady Capulet see in Paris that would make him a good match for Juliet? What is Lady Capulet’s attitude toward love and marriage?**

"//I'll look to like, if looking liking move, But no more deep will I endart mine eye Than your consent gives strength to make it fly" Juliet basically says to her mother that she hasnt really looked at Paris yet, but it he proves himself and woos her enough she will consider marrying him. This answer is very intelligent and mature. She hasnt rushed into getting to know Paris, she decides to take her time to get to know all of Paris, the bad and the good qualities. She seems to know alot, seeing as someone of her age would jump at the opportunity and marrying him right away without getting to know him simply because their desperate to find out what its like. However Juliet is not like that, she is not desperate and she is playing the field. Her attitude suggest that she isnt that into getting married and being in lvoe because she is still young. She probally gets her ideas from what she sees at home between her father and her mother. Maybe she thinks thats what marriage is about so she doesnt want to rush into the same fate.// = ACT 1 SCENE 4 =
 * 7. Highlight lines 98-100. Explain Juliet’s answer to her mother when asked if she can love Paris. What does it reveal about her knowledge of being in love? What is her attitude toward love and marriage?**

**1. Highlight lines 106-111. Why does Romeo feel uneasy about going to the party? What dream-like premonition has he had?** "//I fear, too early, for my mind misgives Some conseqeunce, yet hanging in the stars Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night's revels and expires the term Of a depised life, closed in my breast, By some vile forfeit of untimely death."// Romeo has told Mercutio and Benvolio that he had a frightening dream. He dreamt that bad things were going to happen to him... possibly at the party- he fears his life is at state. Because of his dream he now is cautious becasue he doesnt want to lead anything to his death.

The people in the Elizabethan era believed in magic, and things that science cannot explain like stars and astrology. They use this for entertainment and a religion, because about this time they started abondoning the church of christ and turning to science for and answer.
 * 2. Comment on this speech in terms of the Elizabethan attitude toward the stars and astrology.**

"//But he that hath the steerage of my course Direct my sail! On, lusty gentlemen!"// Romeo wants to go to the party to see Rosaline and have a good time but after his dream hes second guessing himself because he doesnt want the night to end badly- like in his death.
 * 3. What decision does Romeo make in lines 112-113, and what is the thematic importance of this decision?**

= ACT 1 SCENE 5 = //"O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright.// //It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiops ear- Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady over her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight. For i never saw true beauty till this night."//
 * 1. We learn from Romeo’s**  **soliloqu**y (a speech delivered while the speaker is alone, calculated to inform the audience of what is passing in the character’s mind) **that he is struck by love at first sight when he sees Juliet at the party. Paraphrase Rome’s speech (lines 43-53). To what does he compare Juliet?**

Oh how she teaches the torches to burn bright She stands out in the darkness like an earring in an africans ear The world does not deserve her beauty Her beauty is to good to go to waste She outshines other ladies like a dove in a flock of crows When dance is over, he watch her and see where she stands and then hell touch her hand with his ugly one Did his heart ever love before this moment? My eyes were liars, then, because i never saw beauty till tonight.

In this speech you can tell by the things that he's saying he passionatly in love for Juliet. He speaks from his heart and no from his mind, saying stuff without thinking. He's saying stuff that is really sappy but cute, and would make any girl melt. With Rosaline Romeo was overthinking it, the love was in his mind and not his heart. He wanted to be in love with Rosaline but it shows that he didnt feel for Rosaline what Romeo feels for Juliet.
 * 2. How does this speech about his love for Juliet compare to his speeches about being in love with Rosaline?**

First of all Capulet recozignes that Romeo is a fine gentlemen and carries himself well. It doesnt look like he will create trouble becasue thats not the type of person he is. Verona sees him as repected and well behaved man so creating a fight tonight would be out of character. AS well Capulet says to Tybalt that he does not want any fighting or argument to start in his house, on this night. He wants Tybalt to leave him alone and enjoy the party because Capulet just wants to have a good time.
 * 3. Tybalt recognizes Romeo’s voice and tries to start a fight. What two reasons does Lord Capulet give for stopping him (lines 65-69)?**

//"I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall, Now seeming sweet, convert to bitterest gall". He promises to not fight or tempt Romeo because he was intruding. Instead when Romeo is away from the Capulet house, Tybalt will not be calm and be nice to the guest but instead become meaner to Romeo and maybe start a fight between them. //
 * 4. Highlight lines 90-91. What threat does Tybalt make as he agrees to withdraw?**

Romeo: Your hand is like a holy place to visit that my hand is not worthy enough to visit. If you're not willing to touch my hand, my lips are here like blushing piligrims, ready to make everything better with a kiss Juliet: Good piligrim, you dont give your hand enough credit. By holding my hand you show poilite devotion. After all, piligrims touch the hands of saints. Holding palms together is like a kiss. Romeo: Don't saints and piligrims have lips too? Juliet: Yes, but they use their lips to pray with Romeo: Well Saint, let lips do what hands do.I'm praying for you to kiss me. Please allow my prayer, so i dont turn against my faith. Juliet: Saints dont move, even when they allow prayers. Romeo: Then dont move while i act out my prayer
 * 5. In lines 92-105 Romeo and Juliet speak to each other. Their lines form a sonnet. Paraphrase the lines of the sonnet.**

Now my sin has been taken from my to you lips Juliet: Now my lips have your sin? Romeo: Sin from my lips? You encourage crime with your sweetness. Give me my sin back

Juliet: you kiss like you've read about it

**6.** **Dramatic Irony is when the audience knows something the characters do not.** **What is ironic about Juliet’s line 134?** Its ironic because Romeo will be married to Juliet, and if he was married Romeo would not kiss someone else. Juliet states thatshed rather die than marrying anyone else, which is funny because she will die without marrying anyone else.

 * Act 1 Podcast - Create a podcast for Act 1 using Garage Band**


 * 1. Juliet is on the balcony outside her bedroom but cannot hear the words that Romeo says to himself as he looks at her from the hiding place below. Answer the following questions about lines 2-25:**

He complements her of her beauty. Saying that the universe revolves around her, and that sh could light up a room. Romeo says that Juliet lights his life up like the sun lights up the universe or our solar system anyway. She is worshiped by him and her beauty is so great it glows or shines like the sun does.
 * a. Romeo repeats the light and dark images he introduced when he saw Juliet for the first time. Why does Romeo compare Juliet to the sun?**

Hes saying that Juliet is prettier than the moon (rosaline) and that he wants her to shine brighter and take control of her life and make a good impression. Romeo also wants to do away with her virginity. He wants her to "cast off" her "vestal livery", maybe for his pleasure. By killing the envious moon she is getting rid of her virginity, because as of now she is held prisoner by it.
 * b. Why does he want the sun to kill the envious moon?**

c. **Why is the moon envious?** Because the moon is her maid and shes already sick and jealous of how beautiful and magificant Juliet is compared to the sun (Rosaline). It says dont be her maid because shes jealous, her virginity makes her the way she is and nothing she does can change the way she feels or acts.

Her eyes are so bright and beautiful they could take the place of any bright bold and beautful star in the universe. They could do a better job and still be amazing. They're so amazing infact that theyre on display for the world to see so not only Romeo but the world can see for themselves how great they are and how they outshine the stars how the sun outshines a lamp
 * d. Why does he compare Juliet’s eyes to the stars?**

It foreshadowing the future and implicating what will happen when Romeo and Juliet are together. It shows how much he loves her and she loves him. The stars are like signs from the heavens to Romeo to make a move and show how he feels.
 * e. Why is this comparison to stars another example of foreshadowing?**

"//O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father, and refuse thy name. Or, if thou will not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet."//
 * 2. Highlight lines 33-36. Juliet is still unaware that Romeo is nearby. Paraphrase these lines.**

Oh Romeo, Romeo, why do you have to be a Romeo Lose your father and change your name, If you dont lose your name, tell me you love me, And then i'll no longer be a Capulet

"//What’s in a name? That which we call a rose// //By any other word would smell as sweet."//
 * 3. Highlight lines 43-44. Paraphrase lines 38-49. What is Juliet’s attitude toward the feud that has separated the two families?**

//'"Tis but thy name that is my enemy.////Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.////What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,////Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part////Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!////What’s in a name? That which we call a rose////By any other word would smell as sweet.////So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,////Retain that dear perfection which he owes////Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,////And for that name, which is no part of thee////Take all myself.//Only your name is my enemy. You'd still be you, if stopped being a Montague. What's a Montague? Its not a hand, or foot, Or arm, or face, or any other part of a man. Oh take on another name! What does a name mean? A rose Would smell just as sweet if we called it anything else. Romeo would be just as perfect, as if he went by any other name Romeo, lose you name, Trade in your name- which means nothing to do with you- and take me!

Juliet doesnt like that she has to hate the Montagues, so she doesnt care anymore and loves Romeo for what lies in his soul and not for what he is. She wants him to change his name and refuse his family so they can be happy and live together. She makes a point that a name should not define the sort of person you are, only your actions should tell the world of what type of person you are.

She is mad at Romeo for a few seconds for listening in on her private thoughts but then Juliet snaps out of her mood and begins to go all lovey dovey again. She wants to know if Romeo loves her the way that she loves him. If he doesnt she can act all plain hard to get and play all those games if it makes him like her. Shes worried that he doesnt love her and that shes moving to fast and confessing things to someone that doesnt love her back.
 * 4. After Juliet asks some pertinent questions (lines 58-84), she realizes that Romeo has overheard her intimate thoughts about him. How does her attitude change in lines 85-105? What is she worried about?**

Juliet doesnt want Romeo to swear on the mon because its postion in the sky always changes in size and where it is in the sky. She doesnt want him to swear his love on it because shes afraid that hell love her like how the moon changes in the sky... inconsistant.
 * 5. Why does Juliet object to Romeo’s swearing on the moon (lines 109-111)?**

She fears that they are going about this all wrong. Juliet thinks that their relationship and they confessing their love and all these sweet lines of complentry are going to fast and they arnt thinking about it enough and how it will effect themselves and their families in the long run.
 * 6. Juliet speaks of her fears in lines 116-119. Explain.**

"//Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed.////If that thy bent of love be honorable,////Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow////By one that I’ll procure to come to thee////Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite,////And all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay////And follow thee my lord throughout the world."//Three more words Romeo, then we say goodnight for real, If your intestions of your love are true, And if you want to marry me, tell me tomorrow. I'll send a messenger to you, and you tell the messenger where and when to be married. I'll give you all my fortunes And then follow you, my lord, all over the world.
 * 7. Paraphrase lines 142-148.**

//"The gray-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,// //Checkering the eastern clouds with streaks of light,////And fleckled darkness like a drunkard reels////From forth day’s path and Titan’s fiery wheels.////Now, ere the sun advance his burning eye,////The day to cheer and night’s dank dew to dry,////I must upfill this osier cage of ours////With baleful weeds and precious-juicèd flowers.////The earth, that’s nature’s mother, is her tomb.////What is her burying, grave that is her womb.////And from her womb children of divers kind////We sucking on her natural bosom find,////Many for many virtues excellent,////None but for some and yet all different.////Oh, mickle is the powerful grace that lies////In herbs, plants, stones, and their true qualities.////For naught so vile that on the earth doth live////But to the earth some special good doth give.////Nor aught so good but, strained from that fair use////Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse.////Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied,////And vice sometime by action dignified."// The beautiful morning is replacing the miserable night. Darkness is slowly stumbling out of the suns path, Like a drunken man. Before the sun, soaks up the dew, I have to fill this basket of mine here, with posionus weeds and flowers with medicane. The earth is natures mother, and natures tomb. Plants are born from the earth, and then die there, From the earth, many different plants grow, and provides them with many different forms of nurishment. Evertything nature creates, has some special property, and each one is different, Herbs, plants and stones have many powers. There is nothing more evil on earth that does not provide some special quality. And nothing turns bad if its use isnt abused Virtue turns to vice if its misused Vice sometimes becomes virute If applied correctly.
 * 1. Friar Laurence is introduced in a lengthy soliloquy in which he philosophies about nature and about mankind. Paraphrase his speech (lines 7-30).**

Romeo tell Friar Lawerence tha he has had no sleep and did not go go last night. Friar thinks that hes done a sin and slept with Rosaline. He tells the Friar that hes forgotten all about Rosaline and is not going back to her. He tell the Friar of his new love with Juilet and how she is a Capulet. He wants the Friar to marry him and Juliet that morning so they can be together.
 * 2. What does Romeo tell Friar Laurence, and what does he want from the Friar (lines 43-64)?**

He is surprised but happy for Romeo for he gives up and discards Rosaline. He is happy to hear about Romeo loving Juliet and is happy for Romeo. By marrying the two, the Friar thought that the fued between the two families will end and the Capulets and Montagues will accept the marriage and embarce each other with grace and adult maturaty.
 * 3. What is Friar Laurence’s reaction to hearing of Romeo’s new love (lines 65-80)?**

//"but come, young waverer, come, go with me,// //In one respect I’ll thy assistant be,////For this alliance may so happy prove////To turn your households' rancor to pure love."// he agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet even though their parents have not given concent and would be against the marriage if they did. It says that he would becasue he believes joining these two families will give them a reason to love and not to hate, he thinks this willrepair the families and make them stronger. =ACT 2 SCENE 4= The nurse in her lines said confidence when she was talking to young Romeo. But the word she should have used or was trying to use was conference. Also one was used when Benvoilio was making fun of the nurse, saying that he will indite him to a dinner party instead of invite.
 * 4. Highlight lines 89-92. What reason does Friar Laurence give for agreeing to marry Romeo and Juliet?**
 * 1. This scene shows us more of the nurse’s character as she trades quips and puns with Mercutio. What malapropisms (an inappropriateness of speech resulting from the use of one word for another which resembles it ) ** does the nurse use (line 115)?

//"Bid her devise// //Some means to come to shrift this afternoon.////And there she shall at Friar Lawrence' cell////Be shrived and married."// He tells the nurse for Juliet to make up an excuse to get away from the house like tell her family that shes going to confessions to get rid of her sins. Then he tells the nurse for Juliet to meet him in the afternoon at Friar Lawerences cell so they can be married in the eyes of god and make it offical of their love and devotion for each other.
 * 2. What message does Romeo urge the nurse to give to Juliet (lines 163-166)?**

ACT 2 SCENE 5
The messengers that carry love's important messages should be transported by sunbeams. The sunbeams should be strong enough to push past shadows.That’s the way doves carry Venus so fast, and that’s why Cupid has wings that let him fly as fast as the wind.
 * 1. Juliet is very impatient to hear news from Romeo (lines 1-17). What images does she use in her soliloquy to express this?.**

The nurse says shes outta breath and wants to sleep and tell her later. Shes just teasing Juliet she only wants to build suspense and make her begg for more of a dramatic story telling. The nurse wants Juliet to be really surprised.
 * 2.The nurse knows Juliet is impatient, but she keeps putting her off. Why does the nurse do this?**

 * 3. Why does the Nurse agree to help Juliet marry Romeo?**

ACT IV SCENE .

If Friar Lawernce cannot help Juliet come up with a plan to get her out of this marriage with paris, juliet being her right, threatens to hurt herself or even take her own life if it cant be solved. She thinks its better off being killed than marrying Paris.she doesnt like him at all, either because this will intrude on her marriage to Romeo or because this is a forced marriage. PAris says she owns her and Juliet sort of agrees but the ironic thing is it belongs to Romeo and not Paris
 * 4. If Friar Lawrence cannot help her, what does Juliet threaten to do?**

Friar Lawerence thinks that Juliet will execpt his plan because Juilet has no other choice, its either her plan or she will take her own life, and the Friar does not want Juliet to take her own life. Plus he thinks that Juliet will accept it to be with Romeo, to stay married to him. Juliet hates Paris and will do anything to get out of this marriage with him so he thinks his plan is going to work.
 * 5. Why does Friar Lawrence think that Juliet will accept his plan?**

Friar Lawerence comes up with a brillant plan. He tellls juliet to drink the contents of the vile he gives her on Wednesdayy night (the night before her wedding). She will fall into a deep sleep and everyone will think shes dead because she will have no pulse, and she will look very pale. Once everyone thinks shes dead they will hold a funeral, and put juliet in the family musalim, where tybalt lays. Once she awakens from her deep dark sleep Romeo will be there to come and rescue her and then they will live happily ever after. **scene ii:** She says she went to the Friar Lawerences chamber and he told her that disobeying her father is a major sin. So she doesnt want to be sinful so she tells her father that shell do whatever he pleases, she'll marry paris if it makes her happy. So she falls on her knees and beggs her father to forgive her.
 * 6. Describe the friar’s plan for Juliet.**
 * 1. What does Juliet say that makes her father happy?**
