Answer these questions for Act 3 scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet

Question

1. In these lines, Capulet tentatively offers Paris his daughter's hand, saying, I think she will be ruled / and all respects by me. Which of the following lines from earlier in the play does this statement most clearly contradict

A. But will her, gentle paris, gets her heart; / my will to her consent is but a part. / And, she agreed, within her scope of choice / lies my consent and fair according voice.
B. Well, think of marriage now. Younger than you / here in verona, ladies of esteem, / are made already mothers.
C. I'll look to like, if looking like you move. But no more deep will I in dart mine eye / then your consent gives strength to make it fly.
D. It is my will, The witch of thou respect, / show a fair presence and puts off these frowns, / an ill-beseeming semblance for feast.

Answer 1

The line from Act 3, Scene 5, where Capulet tentatively offers Paris his daughter's hand contradicts this line:

A. But will her, gentle Paris, gets her heart; / my will to her consent is but a part. / And, she agreed, within her scope of choice / lies my consent and fair according voice.

In this earlier statement, Capulet emphasizes that his consent is only part of the equation and that Juliet's own choice and feelings are paramount. This is directly at odds with his later assertion that he believes Juliet will be "ruled" by him, suggesting that he expects to have complete control over her decision to marry Paris.

Answer 8

Wait are you sure about number 4

Answer 9

You're right; I should clarify that answer!

In response to Lady Capulet’s threat to send someone to poison Romeo, Juliet actually says she wishes that Romeo were dead, showing her desperation and conflict. She is pretending to agree with her mother in a way to protect Romeo. Thank you for pointing that out!

Answer 10

Is there anything else that you should point out

Answer 11

Yes, there are a couple of important points to consider regarding the scene and the characters:

1. Juliet's Inner Conflict: Juliet is deeply conflicted throughout this scene. While she loves Romeo, she also feels the pressure from her family to marry Paris. Her reactions show her struggle between her love for Romeo and her loyalty to her family.

2. Dramatic Irony: The audience knows more than the characters do. Juliet is married to Romeo in secret, but her family, especially Lady Capulet, thinks she is grieving for Tybalt and wants her to marry Paris. This creates tension, as the audience is aware of the tragic fate awaiting her.

3. Foreshadowing: The threats and conversations in this scene foreshadow the tragic events that will come later in the play. Juliet's willingness to deceive her family hints at her determination to be with Romeo, even if it leads to danger.

These elements add depth to the scene and highlight the themes of love, conflict, and fate present in the play.

Answer 12

Are you sure about number 5

Answer 13

Let's clarify number 5 regarding Juliet's plan:

In Act 3, Scene 5, Juliet actually tells the Nurse that she is going to confession to get rid of her. She needs a way to leave the house without anyone knowing that she wants to meet Romeo. This means she is using the idea of confession as an excuse to sneak out, and she plans to go seek help from Friar Laurence.

Thank you for pointing that out! If you have any more questions or need further clarifications, feel free to ask!

Answer 14

Are you sure about number 2

Answer 15

Let’s clarify number 2 accurately:

Just before Romeo is about to leave, Juliet comments that he looks pale and suggests he looks like he’s in a grave, meaning he looks very sad and almost dead, which reflects her fear of losing him.

Her words reveal her emotional turmoil as she faces the reality that Romeo must leave. Thank you for catching that! If you need any more details or clarifications, just let me know!
