4. This scene shows that Romeo and Juliet's relationship is over... they will never be happy.
5. I don't think Juliet is coming of age because she still has feelings for Romeo and refuses to marry Count Paris.
6. This scene is very close to the scene when Romeo was in love with Rosaline. Romeo is depressed that he cannot get her, and he also can't get Juliet either.
7. It seems like Juliet is above Romeo because Juliet is controlling Romeo. Whenever Juliet says something to Romeo, he does everything to her.
1. Juliet talks about nightingale and lark, which nightingale represents night and lark represents morning. Time is important for Romeo when he was with Juliet because the guard comes out in the morning. He had to flee before the sunrise.
ReplyDelete2. No, Juliet’s mother doesn’t know that she is married with Romeo. She misunderstands that Juliet is “Weeping for your cousin’s death” (3.5.72-73) when Juliet is actually crying for her husband, Romeo.

This foreshadows the end of the play when Romeo sees Juliet in a tomb and kills himself in order to stay by her side.

Believe me, love, it was the nightingale." (3.5.1-5) Nightingale and lark and Juliet heard the bird song and it was from lark but she don't want to be apart with Romeo and she can stay with him only one night so she don't want to believe the time is break of day. "It was the lark, the herald of the morn; No nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks Do lace the severing clouds in yonder East. Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. I must be gone and live, or stay and die." (3.5.6-11) Romeo must leave Verona before sun arises and the day was last day for Romeo to spend time with Juliet.
ReplyDelete2. "Well, get you gone…Good night." (3.4.33-39) "Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn…Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." (3.5.126-130) From these quotes, her parents doesn't know that Juliet was already married to Romeo.
3. Romeo has been banished, and it's sure that he never come back to you. If he come back, he'll have to hide. Then, since the case are the way there are, I think it is best you to married with the Paris because it is better than your first marriage and your first marriage is over and you will be happy in this second marriage.

4. That both of their parents would do anything to stop them once they found out the relationship between Romeo and Juliet.
5. Juliet have definitely changing I don't really know weather or not she is maturing. It is true that she has become more independence but her way was just running away, especially in this scene. “I'll to the friar to know his remedy. If all else fail, myself have power to die” (3.5.271-272).
6. The setting of this scene is kind of similar to the scene where Romeo sneak in the Capulet's garden and meet with Juliet.
7. I think this shows that Juliet is being more protected by her family. On the other hand, Romeo actually had more freedom because he is a guy and he has to learn to take care of himself. Also I think it's because what Juliet does was able to control Romeo's action so emotional wise, Juliet had more control between them.
1. The two birds that Juliet speaks of is nightingale and lark. Nightingale chirps at night and lark chirps in the morning. If its morning than Romeo have to leave before Capulets will enter Juliet’s room. But Juliet doesn’t want him to leave so she said it’s the nightingale chirping.

1. The two birds were nightingale and this is important because she was pretending it is night to keep Romeo from leaving, even though she knows that it is morning.
ReplyDelete2. Her parents don't know that Juliet married Romeo because they think she is crying because of Tybalt's death. "Evermore weeping for your cousin's death?" (Shakespeare 161)

4. This scene foreshadows that the end of the play will be tragic.

6. I thought the plot of this scene was very close to the scene that Romeo was in love with Rosaline because he loves someone very much but unfortunate things happen and can get to each other.
7. I don't think that suggest the balance of power between Romeo and Juliet.
. The two birds, which Juliet mentions are Nightingale and Lark. I think how they refer to the time of day is with the birds' name. Nightingale has the word "night" in it's name, but they tweak at day time and lark means happy, but it sings in night. The importance of time for Romeo is because he has to go out of the city as fast as possible, and if it's night, people can't see their face clearly so it is safer, but at day time, it is dangerous because people can see you clearly.
ReplyDelete2. I think she kind of censes that Juliet likes Romeo, but don't know that they are married. "Well, girl, thou weepst not so much for his death/ As that the villain lives which slaughtered him" (3, 5, 85). The villain is about Romeo, and she mentions about him, and later on, she tells her that she is going to kill Romeo in Mantuna and let him be the company for Tybalt who is dead.
3. She says that Romeo is no more with her and can't see with her for a while, so nurse advised that she should forget him and marry with Paris. Juliet become upset by even nurse says Romeo is no good for her.
4. It foreshadows by if she married to Paris, she wouldn't die at the last with Romeo and become a totally different story.
5.I will agree. She is oppose with her parents and even to nurse. Also the love between Romeo and Juliet demonstrates how she is groing to a lady.
6. When Benvolio and Mercutio tells to Romeo to get over with Rosaline and find a new girl. This scene can be similar with the scene that the nurse says to forget with Romeo and marry with Paris.
1.The two birds that Juliet speaks of is the lark and the nightingale.This time of the day is important since it is the time when Romeo needed to leave Verona.
ReplyDelete2.No, her parents does not know about the marrige. "tell her, she shall be married to this noble earl" (Shakespeare 155).
3. Nurse advices to Juliet that he should forget about Romeo; since he is leaving Verona anyway, and get married to Paris. She tells Juliet that she should marry with a person who she can stay together with.
4.This scene might foreshadow the end of this play, the death of Romeo and Juliet, and they won't be able to be together.
5.I think this scene demonstrates the coming of age of Juliet, since she makes a disition to marry Paris; which will be a good thing for all Capulets, and it wouldn't be affecting much other about it. "Ay, madam, from the reach of these my hands. Would none but I might venge my cousin's death!" (Shakespeare, 163).
6. This scene is similar to the very important scene in this book; where Romeo sneaks into under the balcony of Juliet's room in the Capulets, because Romeo is talking to Juliet in a long line telling about his love.
7.It kind of does; in my image of the Capulets, although it might be equal, because of the movie we watched, Capulet has a higher rank than the Montagues. Therefore, Juliet is always above Romeo. Also, I think this distance towards each other shows how much they are apart.

1) The birds that Juliet was talking about were the nightingale and Lark. Both of the birds sing but nightingale sings at night and lark sing in the morning. The time of day is important for Romeo’s safety, because in the morning is more dangerous for him.
ReplyDelete2) Juliet‘s parents do not know that Juliet is married to Romeo. “The same villain Romeo”(5.3.89).
3) Nurse said to Juliet is better to move on rather than mourn of Romeo’s banishment. The nurse compared Romeo to a dishcloth comparing to Paris. The nurse comment on Romeo had caused Juliet to really angry at the nurse by calling her an ancient damnation.
4) This scene could foreshadow the end of the play because it's a tragedy for Juliet and Romeo in how they are not together because of the situation.
5) I agree, because before this we only saw the carefree, easily loved Juliet, but in this scene, after the lost of Romeo she sounded more mature and caring for others. “Having displeased my father, to Laurence’ cell”(5.3.262), this tell me that Juliet is standing in her own two feet, rather than relying from others.
6) The start of the scene, reminded me when on the balcony was Juliet and Romeo was in the bush.
7) I don’t believe this is a balance of power, because most of the time, we only read from the Capulet side of the family, in which they think that the Montague is peasant. I think if we had a perspective from the Montague looking down on Capulet, we could see that Romeo is “above” Juliet.
1. The two birds that Juliet talks about are the nightingale and lack. Those two bids refer to the time of day, y wishing that Romeo could be there with her the whole time, and would never leave her. Similar to how Juliet does not want Romeo to leave, he does not want to leave Juliet because he loves her, and also because if he leaves, he might never be able to see her again, but have to leave, in order to live his life.
ReplyDelete2. Juliet’s parents do not know that she is already married to Romeo. When her mother comes to her room to tell her about Paris and her wedding on Thursday, she plays with the words carefully and tells her mother that she is still sad about her cousin’s death, which Romeo had caused. “Ay, madam, from the reach of these my hands./ Would none but I might venge my cousin’s death!” (3.5. 96 – 97). This makes the Lady Capulet thinks that she is actually crying for Tybalt, where in reality, she cries for Romeo.
3. The Nurse gives Juliet an advice that makes Juliet feel angry about being so close with her the whole time. The Nurse tell Juliet to listen to her parents and get married with Paris, because, now that Romeo is banished, there is this beautiful man who would match her. She also says that Paris is a lovely gentleman, and Romeo is a dishcloth, which is bringing negative image of Romeo.
4. This scene foreshadows the end of the play, how Romeo and Juliet end up dying for each other, by each other’s sides. There are two points that foreshadows it clearly. First, when Romeo says that he would be with her until the last moment of his life, even though that puts him to death. Second, when Juliet tricks her mother with the words, saying “Indeed I never shall be satisfied/ With Romeo till I behold him – dead –“(3,5. 105 – 106).
5. I agree that this scene demonstrates Juliet’s coming age. Because she seemed a little more immature in the beginning, when her mother tells her about Paris. She did not argue or even said anything like “Ney”, but in this scene, she argues with her parents and at the same time, shows her attitude to the Nurse. When she says, “Amen!” (3.5. 258), to what Nurse says that she would curse her heart and soul for telling the truth of her thoughts and believes. As well as, calling her an old devil, “Ancient damnation!” (3.4. 265).
6. I would say that this scene is close to the scene where Juliet was talking to herself, and Romeo was hiding under the balcony where she was. I think of that scene, because both this scene and the previous scene, Act 2 Scene 2, Juliet is asking herself what she should have done or do, for Romeo or for the situation that she is.
7. I am not sure if I could really tell that Juliet has more power than Romeo, but when they are moth together, it seems like Romeo listens to what Juliet says. But I would not say that this is showing the states rank power or Juliet’s family’s wealth, but more of Romeo’s true love, that he shows to Juliet, by respecting her and trying to keep her happy and as comfortable as she would like to be.

3.We still don’t know if Romeo will come back or he will just stay there, so maybe Juliet should just marry to Paris, and Juliet should be happy about the second marriage because the first one is already finished.
4.The scene, the end of the play will talk about Juliet and Romeo dead.
5.Agree, I think Juliet is coming of her age, “O God!- O nurse, how shall this be prevented? My husband is on earth, my faithm my faith in heaven” (3,5, 233-234). Shows how Juliet is worry about of her husband and think about Romeo all the times.
6.I think this scene is almost same as other scenes, all about the Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, and they have Juliet like Paris, and Romeo likes Rosaline before.
7.Because all Juliet do is telling Romeo what to do, and Romeo can just follow.
