Act 5, Scene 3

Act 5, Scene 3 5/16

Romeo:
I cannot stay here watching you (Juliet) while you sleep eternally. My heart is broken, I love you and now I see you here lying dead. What am I supposed to do if you are dead? I know. I told you I would love you forever, and I will keep that promise. I shall sleep next to you forever. As I take this potion I commit to thee, you are my love forever. And forever will I love you. One last kiss and I will lay with you my love.

Act 3, Scene 5 Juliet's bedroom

In Act 3 Scene 5 10/15 Juliet and her dad are getting into an argument over Juliet's soon to be marriage with the person her father has chosen. I believe that both the father and Juliet need to come to an agreement instead of demand things right away. Juliet's father is immediately demanding that Juliet get married without letting Juliet have a chance at speaking. Lord Capulet is getting so angry with this "disobedience" from Juliet that he begins to get mad with the nurse. Obviously Lord Capulet and Juliet are very cross with each other and I think that their relationship is failing. Lord Capulet says, "That God had lent us but this only child; but now I see this one is one too much, and that we have a curse in having her". This very distinctly indicates that Lord Capulet regrets having a stubborn daughter and he says that one child is one too many. Lord Capulet and Juliet's relationship has really fallen because of the fact that Juliet refuses to happily marry someone besides Romeo.

Act 2, Scene 5 Capulet's Orchid

Act 2 Scene 5 Part 4/5 the nurse says, "Your love says, like an honest gentleman, and a courteous, and a kind, and a handsome, and, I warrant, a virtuous—Where is your mother?". This line really shows how the nurse is silly in a way. Not many times is a character this random, Shakespeare obviously had a sense of humor and was not too serious of a playwright. Juliet is confused by the way the nurse has oddly replied, but she does not take it the wrong way and is kind with the nurse. The nurse shows she is a silly type woman and does not always take everything in a serious matter.

Behind You

Behind You

You run around the corner.

The footsteps behind you seem to become faint.

Hiding against the wall.

You think you’re safe?

Think again,

don’t turn around.

You can feel it breathing on your neck.

The cold air sends chills down your body.

Everything seems to become cold.

Your temperature drops,

but your heart beats faster.

You cannot seem to focus,

you don’t know what to do.

What did you do to deserve this?

Why are you even here?

How did you get here?

Your memories are fading,

as the breaths on your neck get sharper.

You forget everything.

Your whole life,

gone.

Don’t look behind you.

It’s waiting.
