“Was ever book containing such vile matter so fairly bound?”

In my opinion this is trying don’t trust the book by its cover referring to Romeo she kniew romeos outside but not in the inside.

The nurse is sayin that she did favours for Romeo but that he had let we down and hurt juliets feelings.

Juliet doesn’t believe that he was banished she thought it was a joke she said it hurts more not to see Romeo that her cousins death.

Juliets language and the use of antithesis in her speech to the Nurse highlights for example “Beautiful tyrant” This is trying to say Romeo looks good on the outside but through the inside he is a different person. That it basically saying she thought that Romeo was a inocente person but bad on the inside. In few words she is trying to hate Romeo but she loves her too much.

I believe she will be upset as Romeo has killed her cousin was from her family and was loved maybe the love towards Romeo
Might not be strong enough

Shakespeare’s primary source for Romeo and Juliet was a poem by Arthur Brooke called The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Iuliet, written in 1562. He also could have known the popular tale of Romeo and Juliet from a collection by William Painter, entitled The Palace of Pleasure, which was written sometime before 1580.

Shakespeare also likely read the three sources on which Brooke’s poem and Painter’s story were based — namely, Giulietta e Romeo, a novella by the Italian author Matteo Bandello, written in 1554; a story in a collection called Il Novellio, by the widely-popular fifteenth-century writer Masuccio Salernitano; and the Historia Novellamente Ritrovata di Due Nobili Amanti or A Story Newly Found of two Noble Lovers, written by Luigi Da Porto and published in 1530.

How does Shakespeare show the audience that Romeo kills tybalt due to male pride?

“My very friend , hath got this mortal hurt In my behalf; my reputation stain’d with Tybalt’s slander”

He is getting pride as he is saying he will get revenge

“Either thou or I, or both, must go with him”

One of us will die and will go with mercutio where ever he is

To give Non living objects feelings.

So Smile the heavens upon this holy act that after hours with sorrow chide us not

So the gods agree with this marriage that if hours nothing will change

Love can not be measured for example Juliet and Romeo have only meat twice and already getting married

My favourite character of the play is call mercutio because he is very funny and has a good sense of humour

Act 2 Scene 1 = Hiding from jokes
The are making jokes of the love that Romeo feels towards Juliet

Act 2 Scene 2 = Is Juliet the lost heart
Romeo talks to juliet in person in the balcony scene

Act 2 Scene 3 = marriage coming up
Romeo talks to flair Lawrence so he can get married

Act 2 Scene 4 = Agressive nurse
The nurse goes to talk to Romeo for the marriage

Act 2 Scene 5 = marriage in days
The marriage is close

1. To take Juliet to the church so she can confess with flair Lawrence

2. That she will get a rope ladder to climb on when he gets there

3. To talk good about him

He challenges Romeo to a fight because his uncle kicked tybalt out and it was because of Romeo

You discuss me Romeo I challenge you to show who is stronger u or me I declare a fight on you fellow Romeo and I know I will win you will die

Proud and happy and questions a lot “that’s my good son, but where hast thou been then ?” He is a soft person and is a nice person towards Romeo as he accepts to marry Juliet and Romeo to see Romeo happy

He might seek the priest to get married with Juliet, also he is a catholic person maybe he wants to get advice.

Romeo has arrived very early in the morning to visit the friar = “that last is true, the sweeter rest was mine”

Romeo hasn’t been clear in his explanation = “Be plain….shrift”

Friar Lawrence
