Romeo And Juliet Act 3 Summary Of Romeo And Juliet

During Act 3, Scene 1, a brawl occurs between Mercutio and Tybalt. In this, Tybalt ends up killing Mercutio by stabbing him from under Romeo’s arm as Romeo tried to stop the fight. Out of revenge for Mercutio’s death, Romeo kills Tybalt. Prince Escalus arrives along with some of the Capulets and Montagues to enquire into the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio. Benvolio explains what happened and The Prince decided to sentence Romeo to exile from Verona. Romeo deserved to be banished from Verona because he committed murder, which is a serious crime and putting Romeo to death would have escalated the feud between the families.

The next day, Benvolio and Romeo have an encounter with Tybalt, who is still out to get Romeo for crashing the Capulet’s party. When Romeo refuses to duel with Tybalt, Mercutio steps in and accepts the duel. This duel, however, ultimately led to the killing of Mercutio by Tybalt. Out of guilt for Mercutio, Romeo attacks Tybalt killing him.

The Nurse acts like a messenger for Juliet and is out of breath from having to walk through Verona. After receiving good news from Romeo the Nurse heads back to the Capulet home and says to Juliet, “I am aweary. Give me leave awhile. Fie, how my bones ache! What a jaunt have I!”(2.5.25). This represents that the Nurse has become tired and needs to relax after Juliet’s requests for her to speak with Romeo. Though the nurse feels weak and needs some time to settle down a bit but instead she explains all of what happened to Juliet. This is an example of staying calm and happy when you are stressed or down. Romeo’s new love interest brings a sense of distress to the Friar. As Romeo tells Friar Lawrence he is in love with the forbidden the Friar says, “ But come, young waverer, come, go with me, In one respect I’ll thy assistant be, For this alliance may so happy prove To turn your households' rancor to pure love” (2.3.85). The Friar is aware of the feud between the families, but instead of becoming worried about this situation the Friar although feeling stressed agrees to marry the two. The Friar has hope that the marriage could reunite the Capulet and Montague. He always keeps his hope throughout the play. The Friar acts as a friend to Juliet when Romeo was exiled. When Friar Lawrence hears the news that Romeo has been exiled he comes up with a plan for Juliet and says, “Hold. Get you gone. Be strong and prosperous In this resolve” (4.1.126). The Friars only son like figure has been sent away indefinitely and still instead of being full of anger he simply helps Juliet without a thought of his own feelings. Friar Lawrence sees only the good in every situation and figures out way to make it better, like giving Juliet the potion in hopes of bringing Romeo back so they can run away. Through all of the stress the Friar and the

The Roles of Friar Lawrence and the Nurse in the Deaths of Romeo and Juliet

In Act 3 Scene 1 of Romeo & Juliet, Shakespeare raises the excitement and the tension throughout the scene by using dramatic tension between the characters, provocative and threatening dialogue, strong language effects, and sharp vital violence. The scene begins with Benvolio and Mercutio coming on to stage, with Benvolio suggesting they should go home in case they meet the Capulets and the violence ensues. “The day is hot, the Capels are abroad, And if we meet we shall not scape a brawl, for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.” This pathetic fallacy and strong image of mad blood creates an expectation in the audience of violent events to come. This expectation seems to be met fulfilled quickly

Mercutio and Tybalt are about to fight when Romeo

In response to his exile, Romeo threatens to commit suicide in Friar Lawrence's cell. Friar Lawrence then attempts to calm Romeo down, eventually leading into a humiliating conversation for Romeo as the Friar gets his revenge for Romeo's threats and groans about the banishment.

At one part in the play his friends think he is still in love with Rosaline when in fact he has forgotten about Rosaline and is in love with Juliet. Romeo is quick to arrange the wedding and doesn’t wait to visit Friar Lawrence. The fact that Romeo and Juliet didn’t stop to think about marriage is one of the factors that contribute to their deaths. The Friar also thinks Romeo is in love with Rosaline and expects that he has spent the night with her, because he is in a good mood “God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline”, but instead he has spent the night with Juliet. Romeo has a close relationship with the Friar, he acts as a father figure. This is shown when the Friar tell him he is banished. Romeo threatens to kill himself but Friar Lawrence stops him and gives Romeo some advice as Romeo knows he can trust the Friar “ Let me dispute with thee of thy estate”.

As Juliet awakes from her planned long sleep, she asks Friar Lawrence “where is my Romeo?” He tells her he “lies dead.” At this point, Friar Lawrence would have been very worried about his actions and he tries to cover up the lies to fix what happened. He asks Juliet to “come, I’ll dispose of thee, among a sisterhood of holy Nuns.” Friar Lawrence is afraid of his actions and of being exposed as a failure and liar. Proposing this to Juliet would have been the

Analysis of Act 3 Scene 5 in Romeo and Juliet In this scene we see Juliet loose the closeness of all the people she loves: first Romeo who has departed after spending the wedding night with her; secondly by her father who viciously turns on her when she refuses to marry Paris; thirdly by her mother who declares ‘I have done with thee’ when Juliet begs her for help in delaying the proposed marriage to Paris; and lastly by the Nurse whom she tearfully turns to as a last resort for advice and help. Furthermore, we see, for the first time in the play, Juliet disobey her parents, and develop into a mature young lady capable of making her own decisions. After having spent the night with her new

Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is secretive throughout the story and it takes a turn for the worse when Tybalt and his friends confronts Benvolio romeo’s cousin and Mercutio Romeo’s friend whom are both Montagues. They get into an argument when Romeo joins his friends. Tybalt then tries to fight Romeo but Romeo does not want to because he is now his relative although Tybalt does not know this. This result in a sword duel between Mercutio and Tybalt resulting in the death of Mercutio. Romeo is enraged by this and kills Tybalt. Prince Escalus the prince of Verona is informed of this by Benvolio who tries to communicate it was Tybalt’s fault but Lady Capulet who is Tybalt’s aunt says he is lying to protect the Montagues. Just like that Romeo is banished from Verona which is where Juliet lives and if he is spotted their he will be killed. Romeo is devastated by the news and wants to kill himself but Friar Lawrence advises him to go live in Montua until things settle down and that he and Juliet will meet in secret. Another problem arises with Juliet. A wedding is planned for her and Paris.“Take thou Vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquid drink thou off”(4.1.93-94). Friar Lawrence comes up with a plan for Juliet to drink a potion that puts her to sleep for a few days and makes the impression that she is dead. She will be put in a tomb and when she wakes up Romeo will get her and they

Romeo and Juliet have just met at the Capulet's party, and they’re in love. Romeo comes to visit the Friar and asks him to wed Romeo and Juliet. At first the Friar is skeptical, but he says “In one respect I’ll thy assistant ne;/ For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancour to pure love” (Shakespeare II. iii. 92-94). Even if the Friar knew it was treacherous, he still agreed, so he could stop a bitter feud between the Montagues and Capulets. Furthermore, after Romeo murdered Tybalt, he was in hiding at Friar Lawrence's cell, he tells Romeo what he should do. “Either be gone before the watch be set,/ Or by the break of day be disguised from hence./ Sojourn in Mantua. I’ll find out your man” (Shakespeare III. iii. 171-173). Instead of turning him into the Prince, the Friar helps his troubled adversary by hiding him in Mantua. Afterward, Friar Lawrence should be Pardoned from trying to bring peace to two

The balcony scene in act two, scene two, also known as one of the most famous scenes in all of literature, Shakespeare shows us how Romeo is an “obsessive lover”, and expresses the love that both Romeo and Juliet feel towards each other. He shows us that Romeo is an obsessive lover since he was just mourning his love towards Rosaline, but he falls in love with Juliet with just one look at her. This passage has an important role in the play, because it is where the obstacles that they will both face begin, and will end in misery.
