  1. Act III, Scene 3
    1. Romeo claims that the world outside of Verona is “purgatory, torture, hell itself” (3.3.21). For him the world outside is worse than death because he has to live without Juliet.

    2. Friar Lawrence tells Romeo to “go get thee to thy love, as was decreed” (3.3.163) except he plans to escape from the city after he meets Juliet before the watchmen comes back in the morning. He will then have a break in a different city while Friar Lawrence will convince their families and the Price to accept their marriage.

    3. He is escaping to the city of Mantua.

    4. He has to flee before he gets banished because he will never be able to come back to Verona and see Juliet.

    Act III, Scene 4
    1. Juliet’s parents, Capulet and Lady Capulet bring the Prince back as her fiancé. I thought Shakespeare brought him back at this timing to make a worst situation for Romeo and Juliet so that it will become more dramatic. It also ensures us the situation Juliet is in.

    2. The day of the wedding of Paris and Juliet changes from Wednesday to Thursday because Capulet thinks Wednesday is too soon.

    3. At first, as Nurse says, “Just in her case! O woeful sympathy! Piteous predicament! Even so lie she, Blubb’ring and weeping weeping and blubbering” (3.3.100-102) both Romeo and Juliet mourn about their relationship. Though, Friar tells him to “Hold thy desperate hand.” (3.3.125) to Romeo because it is woman like to whine and cry. Friar Lawrence helps him a lot by giving him advice, while Romeo starts to get a positive feeling for their relationship. I believe Juliet still is in depression and has a lot of pressure from her parents, prince, and Romeo. I felt like Romeo has a lighter feeling than what Juliet has since he has more support from his friends and the priest.

  2. 1. Romeo basically says that Verona tortures him because as his punishment is banishment and it is like death for him if he can not be together with Juliet.

    2. Friar told Romeo to go see Juliet but make sure he gets out before the guards wake up and Friar promised Romeo that there will be a right time for marriage and he will go ask prince for second chance. After Romeo meets Juliet, he can get out before the guards come or disguise himself then go to Mantua.

    3. Romeo is going to see Juliet then he will stay awhile in Mantua.

    4. Because as I mentioned his punishment is banishment and which means soon he would not be able to see Juliet anymore.

    1. I would say he is quite a gentleman because he was telling Capulet that seems like it is not a good time for marriage so he will be patient and wait.

    2. The day of the wedding of Paris and Juliet changes from Wednesday to Thursday because of Capulet thought Wednesday is too soon.

    3. Obviously the situation is not good for both of them and there are in a bad mood. Nurse said " O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps; And now falls on her bed, and then starts up, And Tybalt calls; and then on Romeo cries, And then down falls again (Shakespeare 137). Simply, Juliet is so depressed that all she does is crying and being sad and as Romeo is sad also and tried to cut himself for having his name but as Friar was next to him, Friar gives Romeo an advice and Romeo is willing to do what he told him to do. I would say Juliet is like a little girl who relies on her emotion only but at least Romeo knows what is the best and try to solve the problem.

    3. Describe how both Romeo and Juliet react differently to the stress of their relationship. Use quotes as support (6-8 sentences).
    Romeo is reacting differently than Juliet because although Juliet is too crying and sad,there situation is both different. Though I think that Juliet has alot more to deal with. Romeo is crying and weeping because of how he thinks he might have ruined their relationship because he killed Tybalt Juliets cousin. Juliet is crying, sad and depressed because of Tybalt being killed by Romeo and Romeo then being banished from Verona. Also because of her being pressured by her parents of her getting married to Paris even though she doesn't want to.

  4. Act 3, scene 3
    1. Romeo thinks that “there is no world without Verona” (3. 3.20). For Romeo, only world he can live is Verona, where Juliet is, and outside of Verona is same as hell.
    2. Plan that Friar Lawrence made for Romeo is to see Juliet before guard will come and find Romeo. Afterward, escape from Verona and go to another city, while Friar Lawrence “Beg pardon of the prince, and call thee back” (3. 3.169).
    3. The city that Romeo ran into was “Mantua” (3. 3. 166).
    4. Romeo had to flee, because he killed Tybalt. In Verona there is a law that says whoever committed murder will be executed. However Romeo was not executed because “Tybalt murdered” Mercutio and Romeo got mad at Tybalt, which was why Romeo killed Tybalt. (3. 3. 74). Therefore, Prince was kind that he banished Romeo from Verona, not execution.
    Act 3, scene 4
    1. Paris reenters the scene by visiting Capulet to talk about marring with Juliet. However, because of the death of Tybalt, Paris was not rushing about marriage, because “These times of woe afford no time to woo” (3. 4. 8)
    2. The day of the wedding of Paris and Juliet changes from Wednesday to Thursday because Capulet and Paris thought that Wednesday is too early.
    3. For both Romeo and Juliet, the situation is not good. Both of them are in deep sorrow. Romeo is complaining about his punishment by saying “There is no world without Verona’s wall” (3. 3. 20). For Juliet, the only thing she does is to cry. However, Romeo is little different from Juliet. He listens to advise from Friar Lawrence to overcome the obstacle.

  5. Act III, Scene 3

    1. "There is no world without Verona walls, But purgatory, torture, hell itself." (Romeo, 141, line 20-21) "Heaven is here, Where Juliet lives;" (Romeo,141, line32-33) The out side of Verona is no world and it is a hell for Romeo because no Juliet is no life for him and Juliet is heaven for him.

    2. "Thou fond mad man, hear me a little speak."(Friar Lawrence, 143, line55-56) "O, thou wilt speak again of banishment."(Romeo, 143, line57) Friar Lawrence expostulate to Romeo and calm him but Romeo though Friar Lawrence will talk about exile so he don't want to listen to that so he just deny him.

    3. "For then thou canst not pass to Mantuna, Where thou shalt live till we can find a time To blaze your marriage"(Friar Lawrence, 150-151, line 166-167) Romeo is running to Mantuna which is Friar Lawrence told him to go there to help Romeo and stay there and see the timing for their marriage.

    4. "And turns it to exile. There art thou happy."(Friar Lawrence, 149, line158) "Where thou shalt live till we can find a time To blaze your marriage"(Friar Lawrence, 151,line167-168) Because Romeo killed Tybalt and Capulet family's won't excuse to him and advice from Friar Lawrence the exile is the good thing too see the timing of marry to decelerate to two families but if someone saw him in Verona, hew may killed.

    ActIII, Scene 4

    1. "Sir Paris…what day is this?" (Capulet, 153,line14-20) He reentered because Capulet called him back again.

    2. "Monday! Ha,ha….But what say you to Thursday?"(Capulet 154-155, line 22-31) The day of the wedding of Paris and Juliet changes from Wednesday to Thursday because of Tybalt death and Lord Capulet think that wedding on Wednesday is too soon for Juliet.

    3. "That villain cousin would have killed my husband…And Tybalt's dead, that would have slain my husband." (Juliet, 137, line111-117) " "Tybalt is dead, and Romeo−banished."…Hath slain ten thousand Tybalts. " (Juliet, 137,line 123-125) Juliet is confused the fact the Romeo, her husband killed her best cousin, Tybalt but when she heard that Romeo will banished from Verona, it is more depressed thing than Tybalt's death for her so that is makes her stressful. "This day's black fate on mo days doth depend ; This but begins the woe others must end." (Romeo 123, line 126-127) "Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say "death";…Do not say "banishment." " (Romeo 141,line 15-17) Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt killed Mercutio and now that fact made him to exile from Verona and it is stressful because he have to be apart with Juliet.

Juliet was depress about three things; her cousin was dead, Romeo being banish, and marriage to Paris. “O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps;” (3.3. 116). The thing is that Juliet did not cry so this situation shows that Juliet was stronger than Romeo. On the other Romeo cried like a girl.

    6) The day of the wedding of Paris and Juliet changes from Wednesday to Thursday because of Wednesday is too soon, they still need to mourn on the death of Tybalt.
    7) The difference between Romeo and Juliet on handling their stress is Romeo is worried that his juvenile action had caused a stress in their relationship. “Doth not she think me an old murderer”(3.3.109), this tells how Romeo is not sure either he had scared her or not. Juliet on the other hand, took the death of Tybalt way too seriously because she is to brokened and mourn the death of Tybalt too much, “O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps”(3.3.114). That shows how different they are Romeo is worried but Juliet is just broken and upset.

But, Friar will tell the Prince that Romeo is married to Juliet; therefore there is a need for Romeo to come back.

    4.Because he killed Tybalt, and so the Prince told Romeo to leave Verona soon. "Romeo, away, be gone! The citizens are p, and Tybalt slain. Stand not amazed. The Prince will doom thee death If thou art taken. Hence, be gone, away!" (Shakespeare, 125).

    3.Romeo simply does not want to leave Verona since Juliet stays in Verona, and Romeo love Juliet that he doesn't want to leave her. But as for Juliet, since Tybalt is Romeo's enemy but a cousin of Juliet, it is depressing; and the person who killed him is Romeo, the person she loves.Also, she says that her life is over without Romeo."But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villan cousin would have killed my husband. Back, foolish tears, back to your native spring!" (Shakespeare, 137).

  14. 1."There is no world without Verona walls….And world’s exile death” (Act 3. Scene 3, line 20,23). Romeo think only the Verona is the world for him, is really important and heaven to him.

    2.Friar Lawrence made the plan for Romeo to meet Juliet before the guard wake up and find Romeo, “With twenty hundred thousand times more than joy Than thou wentst forth in lamentation” Act 3, Scene 3, line 170 to 171).

    4.He has to run away before he get the banished otherwise he can’t go back to Verona and meet Juliet anymore.

    1.Paris was back because he heard Tybalt was dead.

    2.The day of the wedding of -Paris- and -Juliet- changes from -Wednesday- to -Thursday- because of -Capulet think Wednesday will be too fast-.

    3.Juliet was lost her cousin by her lover, Romeo, also because Romeo has to leave Verona and Juliet was “O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps”(Act 3,Scene 3, line 114). This is how Juliet’s feeling to Romeo, but Romeo was only cared about himself, of he have to get out of his world, Verona, but he didn’t thinking about Juliet at all.
