Section 3-1 Tybalt begins this section with a philippic addressed to Romeo, who remains astonishingly equable. Unfortunately, Mercutio, unwilling to countenance this atrocity, provokes Tybalt. Remaining judicious, Romeo attempts to end the altercation. He comes in between the combatants, hoping his presence would at least hinder them. Tybalt capitalized on this, stabbing Mercutio underneath Romeo’s arm. Mercutio’s untimely demise provokes Romeo into assaulting (and killing) Tybalt. Consequently, Romeo is exiled from Verona.

Section 3-2 Juliet had been anticipating Romeo’s arrival when the nurse entered the scene, apprising her of the days tribulations. Juliet, now cognizant of Tybalt’s demise, begins to excoriate Romeo. A disconsolate Juliet eventually comes to forgive her husband. Section 3-3 At the friar’s, Romeo has begun to repine. The friar attempts to mollify Romeo. Juliet’s nurse enters the scene, expatiating on Juliet’s misery. Romeo resolves to meet Juliet that night. Section 3-4 Capulet is confabulating with Paris. The former intends to wed Paris to Juliet the coming Thursday.

Section 4-3 Juliet ’ s nurse and her mother attempt to converse with her, but she equivocates, ultimately asking them to leave her room. Juliet subsequently brandishes the potion, but begins to vacillate over whether or not she should actually take it. Thus begins the indelible soliloquy, one in which she expatiates on the potential ramifications of her actions. By the end of the soliloquy, she compulsively swallows the potion.

Section 4-4 The Capulets, along with Juliet ’ s nurse, are anticipating both the wedding and Paris ’  arrival. Despite the convivial atmosphere (or perhaps because of it) Lady Capulet begins deriding her husband, making facetious remarks regarding his nocturnal proclivities. At the end of the section, Paris arrives at their door.

Section 4-5 The nurse attempts to rouse Juliet. Upon concluding that Juliet has passed on, bedlam ensues. The friar attempts to console the despondent family. They begin to prepare for the wedding, now having to utilize the assets from the wedding for a new purpose. Subsequently, the musicians of the canceled wedding begin to expostulate with Peter, the illiterate servant who is arguably culpable for the protagonists ’  predicament.

Section 5-1 Romeo begins this section with a dream he had the anterior night, one in which Juliet stumbles upon a cadaver that was once Romeo, which she then proceeds to kiss, miraculously resurrecting him. He is evidently in a convivial mood when a servant apprises him of Juliet's ostensible demise. Distraught, he illicitly acquires a vial of poison.

Section 5-2 Due to a concatenation of unforseeable incidents, Friar Lawrence's attempts at contacting Romeo have been nugatory. He now realizes that, if Romeo remains incognizant of their little subterfuge when Juliet awakens from her induced slumber, the ramifications could be grievous. Thus, he attempts to extricate Juliet from the tomb in which she was so injudiciously buried.

Section 5-3

On 74-75, 5-3, despite having so callously murdered Paris, Romeo somehow rationalizes that “fate” is culpable; he vindicates himself with the concept of fate.

On 174, 5-3, the presence of a dagger was within the vicinity was rather fortuitous, if anything. This is evidently an allusion to fate.

On 218-219, 5-3, subsequent to the Romeo and Juliet’s infelicity, Lady Montague is found deceased.
