Romeo & Juliet
2
Look for… Puns Allusions Metaphor Personification Oxymorons Paradoxes
Foreshadowing
3
Puns A pun is a humorous play on words.
Mercutio – “Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance.” Romeo – “Not I, believe me. You have dancing shoes / With nimble soles; I have a soul of lead…” (Act I Sc. 4)
4
Allusions An allusion is a reference to a well known work of art, music, literature, or history. “At lovers’ perjuries, they say Jove laughs.” (Act II, Sc. 2) Jove is another name for Jupiter, the Roman King of the Gods.
5
Personification Personification occurs when an inanimate object or concept is given the qualities of a person or animal. Juliet— “For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night / Whiter than new snow on a raven’s back. / Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow’d night” (Act III Sc. 2)
6
Paradoxes A paradox is statement or situation with seemingly contradictory or incompatible components. Juliet – “O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!” (Act III Sc. 2)
7
Foreshadowing Foreshadowing is a reference to something that will happen later in the story. Juliet – “Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.” (Act III Sc. 2)

PROLOGUE Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
10
PROLOGUE--cont The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
11
What can we learn from the PROLOGUE?
Verona, Italy (Setting, 14th Century) Montagues –VS- Capulets: (Characters) Generations of Hate Kids fall in love (Basic Plot) Secret marriage *Suicide Families overcome the hate at a tragic cost * (Foreshadows the deaths of R & J)

98
ACT IV A Wedding Becomes a Funeral
99
Dramatic Irony A contradiction between what a character thinks and what the reader or audience knows to be true Example: Act II, scene 4: Lord Capulet announces that Juliet will wed Paris on Thursday, unaware that she married Romeo on Monday
100
Dramatic Irony Another Example: Act III, scene 1, Romeo will not duel Tybalt because the two are now kinsmen through marriage. However, Tybalt is unaware of Romeo and Juliet’s’ secret marriage Purpose: Create suspense & tension Draw the audience into the action of the story
101
Act IV, scene 1-Tuesday Paris confides to Friar Laurence that Lord Capulet has hastened the wedding date to cheer Juliet, who continues to mourn “Tybalt’s” death (dramatic irony: Why does Juliet weep?)

103
Act IV, scene 1-Tuesday Juliet pleads with Friar for a way out of Thursday’s wedding to Paris (prefers bears to Paris). Her desperate plea is laced with threats of suicide: “If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help, do thou but call my resolution wise and with this knife I’ll help it presently” ( )
104
Act IV, scene 1-Tuesday “…Out of thy long-experienced time, give me some present counsel: or, twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife shall play the umpire…” ( ) “Be not so long to speak. I long to die…”(4.1.73)
105
Act IV, scene 1-Tuesday Juliet’s desperate plea leads to a risky plan:
Friar Laurence proposes: “If rather than to marry County Paris, thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself, then it is likely thou wilt undertake a thing like death to chide away shame…” ( ) (recall the potion Friar made from the flower in Act II, scene 3)
106
Act IV, scene 1-Tuesday Friar Laurence’s Plan:
Juliet will return home & happily consent to wed Paris Wednesday evening she will drink the potion, which causes her to appear lifeless Paris will arrive Thursday morning to find her dead Her body will be taken to the Capulet vault
107
Act IV, scene 1-Tuesday Friar Laurence’s Plan:--cont.
Meanwhile, Friar will send word of the plan to Romeo in Mantua Friar & Romeo will meet in the vault and await Juliet’s awakening (42 hours) Romeo & Juliet will escape to Mantua (and live happily ever after)
108
Act IV, scene 2-Tuesday This is what actually happened:
Juliet returns home, apologizes to her father and happily agrees to marry Paris She tells her father that Friar has set her straight Capulet praises Friar L. for his sage advice and moves the wedding to Wed
109
Act IV, scene 3-Tuesday Juliet asks for privacy from her mother and Nurse on the eve of her wedding night to atone for her disrespectful behavior Lady Capulet and Nurse exit
110
Juliet’s soliloquy “Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again. I have a faint cold fear thrills though my veins that almost freezes up the heat of life” ( )
111
Juliet’s soliloquy She fears that the potion may be poison
She imagines she sees Tybalt’s corpse pursuing Romeo
112
Act IV, scene 3-Tuesday She fears that she’ll wake up before Romeo arrives and suffocate from the stench of Tybalt’s rotting corpse Frantic with fear, Juliet drinks the potion
113
Act IV, scene 4 Capulet household cheerfully bustles with wedding preparations (mouse-hunt = woman chaser) Paris arrives to wake his soon-to-be bride (dramatic irony—happy household / dead daughter and Paris coming to wake her)
114
Act IV, scene 5-Wednesday
Nurse discovers Juliet’s “dead” body Lady Capulet’s reaction: “…My child, my only life, revive, look up, or I will die with thee” ( ) Lord Capulet’s reaction: “Death lies on her like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower of all the field” ( )
115
Act IV, scene 5-Wednesday
Capulet tells Paris of the Juliet’s death: “O son, the night before thy wedding day hath death lain with thy wife (personification). There she lies flower as she was, deflowered by him:
116
