Romeo & Juliet (Act 3) — answers
1. How does Romeo try to intervene in the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio? Why does he do this?
- Romeo steps between Tybalt and Mercutio and tries to part them, pleading for peace. He does this because he has just secretly married Juliet and now regards Tybalt as kin by marriage; he does not want to fight a member of his new family and wants to stop the street brawling.
2. According to Prince Escalus’ decree in Act 1, what should be the consequence of Romeo’s involvement in Tybalt's and Mercutio's deaths?
- The Prince’s decree said further breaches of the peace would be punishable by death. By that decree, Romeo’s involvement ought to be met with execution.
3. What punishment does the Prince decree for Romeo? Why does he choose this punishment instead of a harsher one?
- The Prince sentences Romeo to banishment (exile) from Verona. He spares Romeo the death penalty partly because Romeo killed Tybalt in retaliation for Tybalt’s slaying of Mercutio and because Benvolio’s account showed mitigating circumstances; the Prince therefore shows mercy to avoid inflaming the feud further.
4. What does Juliet’s soliloquy reveal about her feelings towards Romeo and their marriage?
- Juliet’s soliloquy shows she is torn but firmly loyal to Romeo: she grieves Tybalt’s death yet refuses to condemn her husband. It reveals that she values their marriage above family loyalties and that her love for Romeo is deep and steadfast despite the tragedy.
5. How does Juliet react to the news of Tybalt’s death and Romeo’s banishment?
- She is initially shocked and confused, briefly angry with Romeo, then quickly shifts to mourning and pity for him. She calls Romeo’s banishment worse than Tybalt’s death and is desperate and distraught at the thought of being separated from Romeo.
6. How does Romeo react to the news of his banishment? What does he say about living without Juliet?
- Romeo reacts as if banishment is a fate worse than death: he says exile is more merciless than death and claims life without Juliet would be nothing — “there is no world without Verona walls,” comparing banishment to torture or hell. He contemplates suicide rather than living apart from her.
7. What message does the Nurse bring from Juliet to Romeo?
- The Nurse tells Romeo that Juliet is heartbroken but still loves him and wants him to come that night to comfort her. She also gives Romeo a token (a ring from Juliet) and helps arrange a secret meeting so Romeo can visit Juliet before he must flee.
8. What plan does Friar Lawrence propose to help Romeo avoid immediate danger and eventually reunite with Juliet?
- Friar Lawrence tells Romeo to go to Juliet that night to be with her, then flee at dawn to Mantua to avoid arrest. Friar will appeal to the Prince and work to obtain a pardon or reconciliation between the families; once things are smoothed over he plans to arrange Romeo’s return so the couple can be reunited.
