Friar's monologue paragraph

Shakespeare uses the Friar’s monologue to show that good and evil coexist. In lines 21 and 22 the Friar says Virtue if self turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified. This means that too much good can become bad. This also says that too much of a bad thing can also be a good thing. In line 23 the Friar says Poison hath residence and medicine power. This means that poison can be an extremely bad thing, but with the right dosage it can be helpful. I think he says this because he gave the potion to Juliet in order to make her sick but not to make her die. When doctors prescribe antibiotics, the antibiotics are actually poison used to kill the disease you have. In line 28 the Friar says In man as well as herbs—grace and rude will. He is saying that there is good in evil in every human being as well as in plants. This means that the person has to choose which one he wants to be.

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.

Romeo and Juliet Act 4

In Act 4 of "Romeo and Juliet" Juliet reveals herself to be a frightened character. In line 15 of Act 4 Scene 3, Juliet says I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins. This shows that she is scared of taking the potion. If the potion doesn't work then she could die or even worse, marry Paris. In line 17 of Act 4 Scene 3, Juliet thinks about calling her mother and the nurse back into her room because she is so scared. This shows that she really is scared because if she calls them back into the room, they could find the potion. Juliet's mother could also make Juliet be watched through the night because of her strange behavior. This would result in Juliet not being able to drink the potion. In line 37 of Act 4 Scene 3, Juliet is scared of the horrible conceit of death and night. This means she is afraid of dying at night, and Romeo will be lonely if she dies. When you have thoughts about death, you often times think of more scary things. Juliet starts to think all about her dead family members including Tybalt.

Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Scene 3

1. Romeo laughs and says that being banished is much worse than death. I think this is reasonable because Romeo and Juliet are married and in love, and Romeo would reather die than be separated from Juliet. Lines 13-14. For exhile hath much more terror in his look. Much more than death. Do not say "banishment"
2. Romeo says that the dog, cat, and mouse live on Earth (which Romeo calls Heaven) with Juliet. And Romeo cannot because he is being exhiled. Lines 32-33. Live here in heaven and may look on her; But Romeo may not.
3. Philosophy and Sweet milk are alike because Philosophy take your mind off the bad things and concentrate on what you belive, and Sweet milk is so good that it makes you think about good things. I personally do not agree with Friar's philosophy because you cannot take your mind off the bad things for forever.
4. Friar says that Romeo should be greatful because the Prince didn't kill him, Romeo killed Tybalt, and Romeo has a pack of blessings when he leaves. Lines 138,139, and 141. But thou slewest Tybalt. There art thou happy. The law, that threat'ned death, becomes thy friend.
A pack of blessings light upon thy back.

Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Scene 1

1. Benvolio seems worried the the Capulets are coming, but Mercutio does not care. By my head, here comes the Capulets. by my heel, I care not.
2. Tybalt calls Romeo a villain. No better term than this: thou art a villain.
3. Romeo tells Benvolio to draw and beat down their (Capulets) weapons. Draw Benvolio; beat down their weapons.
4. Tybalt trusted under Romeo's arm and he accidently stabbed Mercutio. Tybalt under Romeo's arm thrusts Mercutio in, and flies.
5. Line 117: And in my temper soft'ned valor's steel!
6. Lady Capulet tells the prince to kill Romeo. A semi-colon is used.
7. The prince says that he is going to let Romeo leave, but if Romeo is found, then the Prince will kill Romeo. This complicates the plot because Mercutio was related to the Prince, and one would think that the Prince would be very angry, and the Prince would kill Romeo. Let Romeo hence in haste, Else, when he is found, that hour is his last.
