7. This was Capulet to Juliet.
ReplyDeleteHe was remarking on how fickle Juliet is. Not a few days before she had told her mother that if a marriage between herself and County Paris would make her mother happy, then she would gladly obey the wishes of her family. However, when the time came and Capulet announced that the marriage had been set, he was met with Juliet's grief, and her hope of delaying the marriage as long as possible, or perhaps altogether.
In the quote itself he is remarking on how unthankful she is at the announcement of the marriage. He begins insulting her because of her lack of thanks, and as he heats up even more, announces that she will be gatting married whether she wants to or not. In fact, he goes so far as to say that if she refuses to attend, then he will have her dragged there on a sled that prisoners are taken to their deaths on.
This in itself is in a way, foreshadowing. He states that if she does not comply, then in a way, she will be dragged to her death.
3. Romeo said it to Benvolio
ReplyDeletei think it means that he has no luck at all . Everything bad happens to him , or if anything bad happens he is always around like the movie Orphan any trouble that went on the little girl was always there somehow.
i think its significance to the play is forshadowing that something is going to happen to Romeo. Which indeed it did, he got banished, and now his love is being forced to marry again. Like i said before everything bad happens to Romeo.
#9 Juliet speaks to the nurse
ReplyDeleteJuliet is asking the nurse to tell her mother that because she has displeased her father so much she was going to go to make a confession to Friar Lawerance to be forgiven by her father.
Really she is going to Friar Lawerance to get his advise about the wedding on Thursday.
Its significance is that Juliet is already married but will not tell her parents and now is stuck in picking to stay truthful to her banished husband or marry Paris.
7. This was Capulet to Juliet.
ReplyDeleteThis was Capulet basically calling Juliet fickle. Capulet actually said some pretty mean things to Juliet, it just may not seem mean. This remark was how Capulet expressed how Juliet was being so unthankful about the set marriage between Juliet and County Paris. Capulet continually insults Juliet, then once he was really angry he told Juliet that she is to be wed to Paris even if she didn't want to.
The significance of all this is that if Juliet does not comply, she will be dragged to basically her death.
9. Juliet says this to the nurse. Pretty much, Juliet wants to go to Friar Lawrence' cell to get his advice or to get a way out of the arranged marriage to Paris. So as an excuse to go, Juliet just says she's going to make confession to him because she has upset her father, which I guess back then is something people just DIDN'T do(?).
ReplyDeleteThe significance to the play is that this visit to the Friar's kind of sets up the whole story, and I think after Juliet goes through with the plan the Friar told her about everything will start to unfold, quickly.
6. Romeo is talking to the Friar
ReplyDeleteRomeo is ashamed of being banished and is talking abuot how all the unwanted creatures and everyone can see Juliet, but him because he is getting banished. I think he regrets killing Tybalt because of his punishment choosen out of it, because he wont see her. If he had not killed Tybalat then he could have possibly died out of it though.
1. Mercutio is talking to Tybalt.
ReplyDeleteI believe that mercutio is trying to say that if you want to say a something to one of us then you have to say it to both of us and that if it you want it will come with a hit. So in response to that i believe tybalt is teasing or trying to make mercutio made by saying that i can do that but you will have to give me a reason why i should.
Also this was before there duel so this could be when they egg on each other to be the first one to pull the first move
2)Courage, man.romeo says this to mercutio this means have courage the wound cannot be much. The hurt cannot be much No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door, but tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man. Mercutio says this in return to romeo. this means that the wound is not as deep as a well or as wide as a church door meaning not to small but not huge.
ReplyDeletebut its enough to kill him and he says ask for me tomorrow and you will find me a grave man meaning he will be dead. This triggers romeos anger causing vengence and this is why he ends up going back to tybalt and killing him. even though tybalt was now his cousin he couldnt conceal the rage within himself. mercutio was his best friend and being his cousin wouldnt hold romeo back
6. Romeo was talking, or rather, moaning, groaning, and complaining his troubles to Friar Lawrence. He was telling him that heaven was within the city, or wherever juliet was. At the time he was talking about in the city, with all the cats, dogs, and other animals that could go more near juliet than he and see her while he could not. It is important to the story because romeo has been kicked out of the city for life, and hes worried that he would never be able to see juliet again, even though they were married and he wanted to be with her forever.
ReplyDelete2) This is a conversation between Romeo anmd Mercutio. It is said on Mercutio's death bed. Romeo starts off by saying "courage...". He wants Mercutio to keep the will to live and to hang in there. Even though Romeo realizes it's not going to happen, he wants a miracle to keep Mercutio alive. He also thinks the would isn't that serious. Mercutio responds by saying "tis true...". He knows the wound isn't a huge wound, but he will die and he knows that's innevitable. He continues and says that by this time tomorrow, he will be dead.
ReplyDelete3) Romeo said this to Benvolio after he had just killed Tybalt. Like Reagan, I think Romeo is saying that bad things happen when things are going good. He had just married Juliet and now he killed her cousin. I also think it means that he is in the hands of the outcome of the situation, that now he can do nothing but sit and wait for his fortune (which looks to be shaping up as unfortunate). It kinda tells how Romeo's future is shaping up.
ReplyDelete8. the nurse is saying this to juliet
ReplyDeleteI think the nurse is telling juliet to move on. Tybalt is a much better choice for her and she should just go ahead and marry him. Even if she doesnt agree that Tybalt is better than Romeo she should still marry Tybalt because Romeo is gone and banished. She mite as well have a husband who she can see everyday then be married to someone who is banished and no one no about there marriage.

ReplyDeleteRomeo is saying this to Benvolio. I believe it means that all of the good things and all of the actions of Romeo leading up to this point are all giving there repricutions. One is he went to the party and met Juliet and now because he went to the party Tybalt is here to duel him. Two Romeo fight Tybalt and Tybalt falls he has now killed is wife’s cousin. Three his good friend Mercutio is now dead because of the meeting of Romeo and Juliet added to his hot temper. So Romeo is recognizing all the effects his fortune has caused.
3.Romeo is saying this to Benvolio
ReplyDeleteI think Romeo is saying that no matter what he does he always gets the bad side. Saying like he just killed Juliet's cuz. He had bad luck if he just killed his love's cuz. Its kinda like saying when you draw straws, he always gets the shorter one. I think that it is important to the play because the girl he likes is in his family's rival. And he gets banished, so it sounds like to me he always has bad luck.
3. This is said to Benvolio from Romeo and I believe it means I have horrible luck. This is significant because Romeo is really having bad luck. First, his best friend dies by his wives cousin, then, after he kills Tybalt, he is banished from the city which means he will not be able to see his dear Juliet for possibly many years. This could have major psychological affects on Romeo.
ReplyDelete3) Romeo is saying this to Benvolio after he killed Tybalt. By this i think romeo is trying to say that he is very unlucky and a fool for killing a relative of Juliet and himself
ReplyDelete3. Romeo said this to Benvolio and I think Romeo is just saying that fate had it to where he would have bad luck and things go badly for him. I think it's meant to help summarize how bad Romeo's life has been and foreshadowing that its going to get worse.
