fate: a power that cannot be stopped and the event that fate wants to happen will happen.

Predestination could be another definition of fate.

Line 111: Romeo says his soliloquy before he kills himself and you can see fate because Juliet wakes up mere minutes after he commits suicide.

Line 82: Sour misfortune book. Romeo says that to Paris to tell him that fate is uncontrollable and cannot be evaded.

Line 151: Talks of chance though it is combined with fate.

5.3 
 *  Fate is evident in this scene because it seems that all the deaths; Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet, and Paris were because of the 2 family's feud.
 * Also, Romeo and Juliet seem to be together in the wrong times because if Romeo came, maybe 20 minutes earlier, he could've been with Juliet though he drinks the poison
 * Fate also seemed to want to bring the two families together because it says in the text "Run to the Capulets. Raise up the Montagues" Lines 183-184 Also, "We see the ground whereon these woes do lie," Line 185 This tells of the children of the families have told of great sorrow in which their families have induced.


 * It seems highly unlikely that Friar John got caught in a quarintine which made Romeo think Juliet was dead and so it seems that fate was determined again to stop them from meeting. "Nor get a messenger to bring it thee, So fearful were they of the infection. Line 15
 * It also seemed bizarre that Romeo had an extremely short temper and Paris and Romeo both had swords in which they fought to the death which killed another victim in this fate of this marriage

5.1

Romeo has a great dream about Juliet that tells her that they will meet. Balsthafar and Romeo meet and they talk about his dream. He goes to the drug store and talks with the man in the store and he buys his potion to kill himself.

5.2

Friar Lawrence and Friar John speak with each other because Friar John went to send Romeo a message. He was shut in a quarintine and so Romeo did not get the message to get Juliet. And so Juliet may not be saved. Friar Lawrence decides to go for Juliet and sends a message to Romeo again on what he did.

Act 4 Scene 3-5

4.3

Juliet goes to her room to "prepare" for the wedding and she talks to the nurse about her plans of faking her death. Afterward, she ponders on if the potion might not work and dreads what may happen if Romeo may not be able to complete the plan. She also speaks to the ghost of Tybalt and tells him to stop his search of Romeo, and she drinks the vial of potion.

4.4

The Capulets are simply preparing for the feast and marriage of Paris and Juliet. Lady Capulet and some serving men start to fret over the food.

4.5

Lady Capulet, and the Nurse find Juliet "dead" and they both start to shed tears. Paris and Friar Lawrence finds out and they start to lament. While Friar Lawrence tells everyone to make way for the funeral. Also, a group of musicians see that their job changes radically to wedding to funeral.

She is taking into consideration that Romeo might be late, or many other complications could occur to stop her plan.
 * What internal conflict is Juliet dealing with? (one sentence answer)
 * 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: Romeo and Juliet might be able to live together They might be able to go back to Verona after things calm down.

Cons: Romeo might not come in time to save her Her parents would be saddened by her fake death


 * 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.

1.It is some meteor that the sun exhaled. Personification Line 13 2.I'll say yon gray is not the morning's eye; Personification Line 19 3.O God, I have an ill-divining soul! Metaphor Line 54

What surprised you most about this scene?

It surprises me that Juliet openly tells her parents about his love for Romeo Montague and rejects Paris in front of her parents.

What was the most important line in this scene? Quote it and explain.

If all else fail, myself have the power to die. Line 255 (Juliet)

This quote tells of Juliet's determination to love Romeo and that magnitude of that love was impressed upon us in this passage. This quote summed up the power of Juliet's love and her resolution to never sway from Romeo.

Write three questions you have about this scene.

Where will Romeo go? Are the parents serious of disowning there only daughter? How far will Juliet's courage to love Romeo last?
