Romeo and Juliet Act 5 Scene 3

1. Romeo is saying that Juliet is still beautiful even though she is "dead", and that death has not taken away her beauty. The irony of this is that Juliet is not dead.
2. Romeo says that death is amorous which means that death is full of love. Line 103: That unsubstantial Death is amorous.
3. The Friar is trying to convince Juliet to leave with him because he doesn't want Juliet to see Romeo. Line 159: Come, go, good Juliet. I dare stay no longer.
4. Juliet stabs herself with Romeo's dagger. We know this because in lines 169-170 she says Yea nosie? Then I'll be brief. O happy dagger. This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die. After this in parentheses it says she stabs herself and falls.
5. The prince says that he still respects the Friar for a holy man. Line 270: We still have known thee for a holy man.
