1. "You say you do not know the lady's mind./Uneven is the course; I like it not." and "Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt's death,/And therefore have I little talked of love;/For Venus smiles not in a house of tears." (Act IV, Scene 1)
2. "What must be shall be." and "That's a certain text." (Act IV, Scene 1)
3. "God shield I should disturb devotion." (Act IV, Scene 1)
4. "O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris./From off the battlements of any tower,/Or walk in thievish ways, or bid me lurk/Where serpents are; chain me with roaring bears,/Or hide me nightly in a charnel house,/O'ercovered quite with dead men's rattling bones,/With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;/Or bid me go into a new-made grave/And hide me with a dead man in his shroud-/Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble-/And I will do it without fear or doubt,/To live an unstained wife to my sweet love." (Act IV, Scene 1)
5. "My heart is wondrous light,/Since this same wayward girl is so reclaimed." (Act IV, Scene 2)

8. "O son, the night before they wedding day/Hath Death lain with they wife. There she lies,/Flower as she was, deflowered by him./Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir;/My daughter he hath wedded. I will die/And leave him all. Life, living, all is Death's." (Act IV, Scene 5)
9. "Dead art thou--alack, my child is dead,/And with my child my joys are buried!" (Act IV, Scene 5)
10. "Peace, ho, for shame! Confusion's cure lives not/In these confusions. Heaven and yourself/Had part in this fair maid--now heaven hath all,/And all the better is it for the maid." (Act IV, Scene 5)

8. It was said by Capulet to Paris. He was stating that Juliet had been taken away by death, one night before her wedding, and that although Capulet would like to call Paris his son, he feels that Death is his true son-in-law. He doesn't actually mean he will leave everything to death, more along the lines that he has no one to give it to. It is significant because Capulet has come to realize (quite quickly) that he has no heir, nor will he for his wife shall never have another daughter.
ReplyDelete4. Juliet said this to the friar. Basically, I think she's just saying she rather die than marry Paris. And then she goes into detail about ways she rather be tortured or die than marry Paris. She goes on to say that 'being chained to bears' and 'being with serpents' and 'hidden with dead people', etc. have all been things before that made her super scared, but she'd go through it just to get out of marrying Paris. Juliet ends her little dramatic talking by pretty much saying that she'd do any of the above without having any doubt at all or being afraid just so she can stay true to Romeo. It's significance is mainly just to show how Juliet feels about Romeo and how much she DOESN'T want to get married again.
ReplyDelete4. Juliet said this to the Friar. I agree with Kelsey, Juliet would rather die then get married again especially to someone she doesnt love. She loves Romeo so much she would risk her own life for him. She would fake death just so she wouldnt have to be stuck with Paris. Like Kelsey said staying true to Romeo is all Juliet wanted.
ReplyDeleteIts significance to the play is showing Juliets love to Romeo and showing her parents that she doesnt want to get married again or love again.
7. Capulet said this to the nurse and Lady Capulet.
ReplyDeleteIts saying that Juliet is all stiff and she had been dead for sometime now. Her blood has stopped.
I think this is important because it shows how many people thought Juliet was really dead. And how great the plan was going in the start.
5. Capulet was saying this to himself after his lady had left.
ReplyDeletei believe this is saying that Capulet's own heart is full of joy and happiness because her daughter that has been through so many troubles has been taken back from reality that she has to marry Paris and will be married anyways. This quote is significant to the play because it shows that after the fight that Capulet and Juliet had about her marrying Paris is over and that Capulet still cares dearly about his daughter.

ReplyDeleteParis is talking to Friar Lawrence
Friar Lawrence is telling Paris that he doesn't think it's right that he marries Juliet so quickly. Paris thinks that the sooner that they wed, the quicker she'll get over Tybalt's death (because they think thats why Juliet is still distraught).
Paris doesn't personally know what Juliet is so upset about and the Friar does. He openly says that he doesn't think that it is right that Paris doesn't know Juliet.

ReplyDeleteCapulet is saying this after they find Romeo and Juliet dead.
I think when he is saying this hes saying she brought joy. And he could possibly be talking about the future any happiness that could happen is dead, because she is dead. I think he will take the death hard because he had these big plans for her to marry Paris, and spend the rest of her life. But now he could also be sad for reason like because he had basically her whole life set.
8. Capulet said this to County Paris. Capulet said this stating that Juliet had been taken away from him by death. Also how, he would very much like to call Paris his son-in-law, it is much more accurate to call death that. Capulet doesn't mean that he will leave everything to death, rather than there is no one else to give everything to. This is all signifigant because Capulet realized that he has no heir, nor does his wife and him have another daughter.
ReplyDelete4) juliet says this to the friar. she complains becuase her parents have arranged a marriage between her and paris. She doesnt want to and in this says she would rather die than have to marry paris. She also says chain me up with bears basically saying again to kill her rather than marrying him. I dont know how she could show how more upset she is being forced to marry him. She also says she wants to live an unsustained life with her love being romeo. She hasnt really made it clear that she is married to romeo that is why she is having this problem if she did they wouldnt be worried about her getting married...
ReplyDelete#6 Juliet is talking to herself about Romeo slaying Tybalt. It tells her thoughts of why she must drink the potion. It shows that she does care for her cousin. She is sad about his death and wonders that she might love Romeo more than her cousin.
ReplyDelete4. this was said to the friar from juliet. all's juliet was doing was overexaggerating about how she wouldn't want to be with Paris. She just said a bunch of bad things that would show how she didn't want to be with juliet. this is in the story to show how much juliet still liked romeo
ReplyDelete4. juliet said it to friar lawrence and it means that she would rather die than marry paris. all the things she says could mean things like torture and painful deaths so she must really love romeo.
ReplyDelete4) Juliet said this to the Friar implieng that she would rather die than marry Paris. She also says a bunch of other rubish about how she stills likes Romeo and would never be with Paris.
ReplyDelete4)Juliet said this to Friar Lawrence. She was basicallly complaining non stop and saying alot of horrible things so that she wouldnt have to marry paris and so that he would give her the potion. She was saying all of this to prove that she was still in love with Romeo even though he was banished.
ReplyDelete4. juliet is telling this to the friar. She was saying that she would rather have hellacious things done to her such hiding in a grave with a dead man or walk off the ledge of a tower or even be chained next to roaring bears, anything even death, to not marry paris. it was her explanation, her desperate outcry for the friar to help her and keep her from having to marry Paris, and her sayings werent exactly untruthful, as she did kill herself.. Its signifigance is that she loves romeo, and NOT Paris, and she will do anything to get out of it, no doubts about it.

ReplyDeleteO, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris./From off the battlements of any tower,/Or walk in thievish ways, or bid me lurk/Where serpents are; chain me with roaring bears,/Or hide me nightly in a charnel house,/O'ercovered quite with dead men's rattling bones,/With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;/Or bid me go into a new-made grave/And hide me with a dead man in his shroud-/Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble-/And I will do it without fear or doubt,/To live an unstained wife to my sweet love.
This was said by juliet to the friar and she was overstreching the fact that she didnt wish to be married with paris and that it was her wish not to be with him and that she hates him
4. Juliet said this to the Friar. She is basically saying that she would rather suffer through anything if it meant she didn't have to marry Paris. She said she would rather jump from any building, be with snakes and bears, be with dead men (bones or flesh). She says that they were things that she once was afraid of and now she will gladly do it with little to no doubt at all just to stay true to Romeo and keep their marriage purified. It's significance to the play is that it really shows Juliet's love for Romeo and that she will do anything just to stay true to him.
ReplyDelete8. capulet said this to paris. Juliet had just been found "dead". Capulet is saying that she was his only daughter and he really wanted paris to be related to him. Now he has no one to take his place because he has no son. He was sad that she had died just the day before the wedding.
ReplyDeletein addition to my answer i would like to add that is showed a side of juliet that revieals her to be a ploting and deavious person willing to try and minipulate to get what she wants. to be with romeo.
ReplyDeleteSorry Ms. Tester but I had no access to a computer over my hunting trip down at the camp we were at and the cell service literally sucked so I wasn't able to get on the blog on my phone.
ReplyDelete5.Capulet says this to himself after his wife leaves. I believe this statement means that his heart is happy because Juliet has gave in and decides to marry Paris because she doesn't want to be killed or anything. This is significant because Juliet is already married to Romeo and she doesn't know what will happen if she marries Paris, so she asks the Friar who tells her to just play along. That is until she can figure out how to get by without marrying Paris.
