We will use the following t-charts to help you in your analysis of
Romeo and Juliet’s characters. In each chart, identify the line,
line number (your evidence) AND explain your evidence.
Positive Characteristics of Juliet
Negative Characteristics of Juliet
Juliet
How long was the errand supposed take her?
A herald is a messenger. According to Juliet, how fast should
love’s heralds be?
What time is it now?
What critique of the nurse does Juliet make?
(1) The clock struck nine when I did send the nurse;
In half an hour she promised to return.
Perchance she cannot meet him—that’s not so.
O, she is lame! Love’s heralds should be thoughts,
(5) Which ten times faster glides than the sun’s beams,
Driving back shadows over low’ring hills;
Therefore do nimble-pinion’d doves draw Love,
And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
Now is the sun upon the highmost hill
(10) Of this day’s journey, and from nine till twelve
Is three long hours, yet she is not come.
Had she affections and warm youthful blood,
She would be as swift in motion as a ball;
My words would bandy her to my sweet love,
(15) And his to me.
But old folks—many feign as they were dead,
Unwieldy, slow, heavy, and pale as lead.
O God, she comes!
(Enter Nurse and PETER)
O honey nurse, what news? Hast thou met with him? Send thy man
away.
Nurse Peter, stay at the gate.
(Exit PETER)
Juliet Now, good sweet nurse,- O Lord, why look'st thou sad? Though
news be sad, yet tell them merrily; If good, thou shamest the music
of sweet news By playing it to me with so sour a face.
What expression does the nurse have on her face?
Why is the nurse complaining?
Why is the nurse annoyed?
*art - are
*dost – does
What does the nurse initially say to Juliet? What does that imply
to the audience?
How does the nurse describe Romeo’s body?
Why do you think the nurse is avoiding answering Juliet’s
questions?
How does Juliet change her tactics?
Nurse I am a-weary, give me leave awhile: Fie, how my bones ache!
what a jaunt have I had!
Juliet I would thou hadst my bones, and I thy news: Nay, come, I
pray thee, speak; good, good nurse, speak.
Nurse Jesu, what haste? can you not stay awhile? Do you not see
that I am out of breath?
Juliet How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath To say to
me that thou art out of breath? The excuse that thou dost make in
this delay Is longer than the tale thou dost excuse. Is thy news
good, or bad? answer to that; Say either, and I'll stay the
circumstance: Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad?
Nurse Well, you have made a simple choice; you know not how to
choose a man: Romeo! no, not he; though his face be better than any
man's, yet his leg excels all men's; and for a hand, and a foot,
and a body, though they be not to be talked on, yet they are past
compare: he is not the flower of courtesy, but, I'll warrant him,
as gentle as a lamb. Go thy ways, wench; serve God. What, have you
dined at home?
Juliet No, no: but all this did I know before. What says he of our
marriage? what of that?
Nurse Lord, how my head aches! what a head have I! It beats as it
would fall in twenty pieces. My back o' t' other side,—O, my back,
my back! Beshrew your heart for sending me about, To catch my death
with jaunting up and down!
Juliet I' faith, I am sorry that thou art not well. Sweet, sweet,
sweet nurse, tell me, what says my love?
Nurse 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?
How does the nurse avoid answering Juliet’s question? Why do you
think she is doing this?
What do you think the line, “Are you so hot?” means?
*Shrift – confession
Finally! What is the answer that Juliet is looking for from the
nurse?
What does the nurse need to do in the meantime?
Juliet Where is my mother! why, she is within; Where should she be?
How oddly thou repliest! 'Your love says, like an honest gentleman,
Where is your mother?'
Nurse O God's lady dear! Are you so hot? marry, come up, I trow; Is
this the poultice for my aching bones? Henceforward do your
messages yourself.
Juliet Here's such a coil! come, what says Romeo?
Nurse Have you got leave to go to shrift to-day?
Juliet I have.
Nurse Then hie you hence to Friar Laurence' cell; There stays a
husband to make you a wife: Now comes the wanton blood up in your
cheeks, They'll be in scarlet straight at any news. Hie you to
church; I must another way, To fetch a ladder, by the which your
love Must climb a bird's nest soon when it is dark: I am the drudge
and toil in your delight, But you shall bear the burden soon at
night. Go; I'll to dinner: hie you to the cell.
JULIET Hie to high fortune! Honest nurse, farewell.
Act II, sc. vi
Define the literary devices that are used in this scene. Explain
the importance of the phrase to the play.
Personification
Irony
Foreshadowing:
Friar Lawrence’s cell.
That after-hours with sorrow chide us not!
Romeo
That one short minute gives me in her sight.
Do thou but close our hands with holy words,
Then love-devouring death do what he dare,
It is enough I may but call her mine.
Friar Lawrence
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness,
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately: long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
(Enter Juliet. )
Will ne’er wear out the everlasting flint;
A lover may bestride the gossamers
That idles in the wanton summer air,
And yet not fall; so light is vanity.
Juliet
Good even to my ghostly confessor.
Identify the literary devices that are used in this scene. Explain
why they are important.
What does Romeo want Juliet to do?
*blazon: proclaim
How does she respond to Romeo’s request? How does this response
characterize?
What do you think Fr. Lawrence is worried about?
Friar Lawrence
Juliet
As much to him, else is his thanks too much.
Romeo
Ah, Juliet, if the measure of thy joy
Be heap’d like mine, and that thy skill be more
To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath
This neighbor air, and let rich music’s tongue
Unfold the imagin’d happiness that both
Receive in either by this dear encounter.
Juliet
Brags of his substance, not of ornament;
They are but beggars that can count their worth,
But my true love is grown to such excess
I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.
Friar Lawrence
Come, come with me, and we will make short work,
For by your leaves, you shall not stay alone
Till Holy Church incorporate two in one.
