1. read 4.3-4.5
 * write a brief (2-3 sentence) plot summary of each scene

4.3 Juliet tells everyone that she wants to spend the night alone, and during the night, she sees a vision of Tybalt's ghost. In the morning, the house is busy getting ready for the wedding. Then the Friar comes in, and tells that Juliet died. The wedding got canceled.

4.4 Juliet is constantly drinking the sleeping potion. Juliet keeps on seeing the vision and goes back home, and the capulets are still in a great shock that Juliet is weeping. Friar comes in and gives advices to the Capulets. Capulet makes a speech about his sadness.

4.5 When nurse goes to wake up Juliet, she doesn't move, and she is considered dead. 2. Focus on Juliet's soliloquy 4.3.15-60 by completing the following:
 * What internal conflict is Juliet dealing with? (one sentence answer)
 * She is so sad inside in her heart because of the love issue that she's dealing with.
 * Create a brief pro/con list based on what Juliet says in the soliloquy. Pro: the reasons for taking the potion. Con: the reasons for not taking the potion.
 * Pro: She is feeling guilty and she misses Romeo. Con: She has family and she can't betray them.
 * 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.
