Mercutio and Benvolio begin the scene with a short conversation, but their peace soon befalls as they encounter Tybalt. On the street of fair Verona, Tybalt is aroused to have a duel with Romeo as soon as he enters the scene. Romeo refuses to duel while Mercutio confronts Tybalt. The duel results in Mercutio’s excruciating wound. Yet he claims his peace- nay, he says it a “scratch.” Nevertheless, he falls to the ground and Benvolio announces Mercutio’s death. Romeo, full of vengeance against Tybalt, provokes a duel with Tybalt. In the state of temper and madness, Romeo slays Tybalt. Immediately Capulet, Montague, and their wives enter with the Prince. Benvolio, who is apparently a Montague’s kinsman, attempts to conciliate the two houses, and explain what he witnessed to the Prince. Skeptical it can be, Capulet’s wife denounces the words from Benvolio to the Prince. The Prince then concludes a sentence to banish Romeo out of the fair Verona.

 * 4: 2.6

For your assigned passage above, please complete the following: 1. Prepare a summary of your group’s lines.

Friar Lawrence and Romeo encounters Juliet in Friar's cell. Friar Lawrence allows the couple to be spiritually married in the name of Holy Church.

2. Identify three examples of language tricks/literary devices used in your group’s lines.

Simile: "And their triumph die, like fire and powder," (2.6.10) Reversed word: "Then love-devouring death do what he dare," (2.6.7) Personification: "The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness..." (2.6.11-12)

3. How do these specific devices/tricks enhance the passage?

The simile allows the reader to have a poetic picture of a violent love and then having an abrupt end. Reversed words make the sentence grammatically correct. Personification draws a picture in reader's mind; honey being loathsome with its own deliciousness. Perhaps this can foreshadow the future where Romeo and Juliet's love is overwhelming to manage.

4. Identify what your group thinks is the most important line, and be prepared to explain why it is important.

"These violent delights have violent ends" (2.6.9) We thought this was significant because it foreshadows the future of this devouring love of Romeo and Juliet; its result will be "violent"... : (

Juliet is informed that Tybalt has been slain by her husband, Romeo. She instantly feels grief towards Tybalt’s death, but after she realizes that Romeo is banished, she cannot repress her misery. Nurse then searches for Romeo and finally finds him in Friar Lawrence’s cell. Before she arrived, Romeo and Friar Lawrence had a conversation; Friar Lawrence said that neither suicide nor repenting would help. The one and only way that could make the situation better was, according to Friar Lawrence, by persuading the Prince to reconsider about Romeo’s banishment. Together, planned a secret schedule for Romeo; Romeo will meet Juliet before he goes out of Verona and until Friar Lawrence sends letter to Romeo by Balthasar, he must stay out. In the meantime, Paris proposes to Capulet that he is willing to marry Juliet, and his proposal is accepted- in three days, the marriage will be held.
 * Romeo and Juliet Act 3.2~3.4 Summary**

__Hyperbole__: "What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears?" (3.5.72) __Metaphor:__ "Romeo's a disclout to him. An eagle, madam," (3.5.232)  Metaphor: "Thou counterfeits a bark, a sea, a wind." (3.5.136) //What surprised you most about this scene?// In the Act 3, scene 5, I was surprised to see Juliet’s parents even attempting to arrange a marriage for Juliet and Paris. If I were them, the death of Tybalt would be have been an immense impact on my daily activites. Capulets, as far as I’m aware of, is an inhuman family; we can observe this fact also from Juliet, who forgets about Tybalt immediately the thoughts of Romeo. //What was the most important line in this scene? Quote it and explain.// “Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day. It was the nightingale, and not the lark, That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear.” (3.5.1-3)
 * Romeo and Juliet Act 3.5 homework**

My interpretation of this quote is that since it is night, not day, Romeo has less chance of getting caught. It is significant because I can sense Juliet’s love and her words are fervently beseeching for Romeo to stay. Also, by this quote we know how Romeo is full of fear, and that Juliet is trying to compose him. This line gives me a good sense that they are married.

//Write three questions you have about this scene.// 1. Why would nurse advice Juliet to forget Romeo? Didn’t she witness how mush Romeo loved Juliet? 2. Why would Capulet force Juliet to marry a man who is not Juliet’s taste? Aren’t families supposed to protect and respect each other? Was it different back in the Renaissence? 3. What plans do Friar Lawrence have?

Romeo awaits news from Balthasar, who in fact brings the news of Juliet's demise. Immediately, Romeo plans to kill himself with a poison. He sets off to Verona to lay down with Juliet.
