3.5 1. What surprised you most about this scene? It was surprising how Lady Capulet did not get mad, or try to force Juliet to stop loving Romeo, and marry Paris, although she hated Romeo for killing Tybalt. She seemed to not care, and handed this issue over to Capulet.

2. What was the most important line in this scene? Quote it and explain. “Graze where you will. You shall not house with me.” (3.5.200) This is the most important quote of this scene said by Capulet. This quote was after Juliet told Capulet that she refuses to marry Paris, and loves Romeo. It shows how mad Capulet is because her daughter likes his enemy’s son. 3.  Write three questions you have about this scene.
 * Why doesn’t Lady Capulet get involved in the fight although she was so mad when Tybalt died?
 * What will Juliet do, or go if she is kicked out of the house?
 * Will she meet Romeo again?

4.3 Juliet asks the nurse, and Lady Capulet to leave her alone tonight. Also, she wanders if the liquid works, if it is poison, and wakes in the grave (predicts scary spirits.) Then, she thinks about the fear of living, and envisions Romeo being chased by Tybalt, and then drinks the liquid, and sleeps.

4.4. The queen, and the king prepare for the marriage by paying for the food, and resting. Paris had already come to the wedding, so Capulet tells the nurse to wake Juliet up, and prepare her for her wedding.

4.5 The nurse tries to wake Juliet, but she finds out she is dead, and Lady Capulet morns. Friar Lawrence, Paris, and the musicians enter, but they find out she is dead, too. Friar Lawrence tells them that Juliet is happier in heaven than marrying someone she doesn’t love. Peter tells the musicians to play happy songs, because she is sad, and threatens them, but he eventually exits The internal conflict Juliet is dealing with is the problem in deciding to use the potion, or not.

How is fate evident in 5.3? -When Romeo was breaking into the tomb, Paris was there at the same time which is unlikely to happen. ”What cursed foot wanders this way tonight,” (5.3.19) ”And do not interrupt me in my course. Why I descend into this bed of death” (5.3.28~29) -Paris dies and then Romeo soon dies by drinking a poison ”And death’s pale flag is not advanced there” (5.3.96) ”Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavory guide!” (5.3.116) -Friar Lawrence comes right after their death “have my old feet stumbled at graves!”(5.3.122)
