Guided Practice Popcorn Summary Juliet comes home, all fake-humble and repentant. She apologizes for being a bratty teenager and says she'll marry Paris. Lord Capulet is overjoyed and decides the marriage will take place the next day, even if he has to stay up all night making preparations. Juliet convinces the Nurse and Lady Capulet to leave her alone, then takes out the potion the Friar gave her. She worries for a moment that it might be real poison, and then freaks herself out by imagining what it'll be like to awake surrounded by a bunch of dead bodies, including the fresh corpse of her cousin Tybalt.

When the Nurse comes to wake Juliet up in the morning, she discovers the girl dead. Then the Friar shows up and takes action, telling them to take Juliet to the tomb. In exile in Mantua, Romeo wakes up feeling good. He has just had a dream in which Juliet found him dead, but then kissed him back to life. Foreshadowing.

Romeo's servant Balthasar (ironically the name of a wise man in the New Testament) arrives with the news from Verona. There's no good way to say this: Juliet's dead. Um, is there any message from Friar Laurence? Nope. Romeo immediately decides that the only thing he can do is go to Juliet's grave and commit suicide there. He knows a poor apothecary who sells illegal drugs, including poisons. Then Romeo heads for Verona.

Guided Practice Directions: What would be the best background music for the scene that we just read? Explain why.

Read and Listen I would die for you I've been dying just to feel you by my side To know that you're mine I will cry for you I will wash away your pain with all my tears And drown your fear I will pray for you I will sell my soul for something pure and true Someone like you See your face every place that I walk in Hear your voice every time I am talking You will believe in me And I will never be ignored

Guided Practice Prompt: What would be the best background music for the scene that we just read? Explain why. Position: In Act 5, Scene 1, a good background song would be “ I Would Die For You” by Garbage.

Good Evidence The best background song for Act 5, Scene 1 would be “I Would Die for You” because it shows the way that Romeo feels in this part of the story. 1) In the song “I Would Die for You” the singer expresses her deep love for someone that is clouding her mind. 2) She expresses that she cannot get her lover out of her head and her mind and that she would sacrifice the most important thing in the world for him or her. 3) In the second stanza of the song she says “ I would die for you. I've been dying just to feel you by my side.” This means that the singer would give anything including her life for her love. This illustrates the same blind love that Romeo feels when he believes that Juliet is dead as he runs to take his own life to be with her.
