 * This soliloquy is an excellent example of Shakespeare's use of imagery: draw a quick picture of the dominant image in the soliloquy and label it with five lines or phrases from the speech. Example: For "the bones / Of all my buried ancestors are packed" (4.3.41-42) might label a pile of bones in the tomb.

Juliet pretends to get ready for the wedding. In the inside, she doesn't like Paris. She pretends to like Paris in front of Capulet.

 * Write three questions you have about this scene.

The part where Juliet said about Romeo to Capulet was very surprising. The important line in this scene is "With Romeo till I behold him -dead- Is my poor heart,....slaughtered him" This quote is very important because it shows a surprising paradox.

1. Why did Juliet say the quote above? 2. Is Juliet willing to marry Paris? 3. Would the Capulets forgive Romeo?

-Act 3 Scene 2- After Juliet finds out that Romeo is banished, she is very worried about Romeo. She desires to find Romeo back, so she asks the Nurse to find Romeo for her. After, Juliet gives the nurse a ring in order to give it to a "True Knight."

-Act 3 Scene 3- Romeo is in Lawrence's cell with his Father. The Father tells Romeo how Romeo is very lucky because the Prince only banished him. After the nurse arrives at the Lawrence's cell, Romeo takes his dagger out and threatens himself as he talks about himself killing Juliet's kinsman. Romeo then decides to stay in Mantua. Romeo leaves the Friar Lawrence Hall.

Act 3 Scene 4- The Capulets are walking down. Capulet promises Paris about the wedding. Though Juliet is already married to Romeo, Capulet without knowing this, Capulet was certain that Juliet would marry Paris.

- Act 3 Scene 1 -

Title: What I Saw

I saw everything that happened. I was looking out the window and saw these group of men walking. Then, another group of shadows joined together. I realized they drew their swords and started fighting. The details weren't clear because I was very far away, but I saw one man fall down. The person who stabbed the man started running away. The murderer, though flew quickly, was being chased by another man. I wore my clothes and started to head down to see clearly. I, frightened by the dead body of my friend Mercutio, realized it was a battle between Montague and a Capulet. By then when I arrived, Prince, Capulet families, Montague families, and my neighbors were down there. The prince ordered Romeo to be exiled. Everyone had shocked look on their faces when they heard this announcement by Prince.
