Act 5

I was talking with my friend who is a Apothecary. He and I are good friends. So we were talking and he told me he sold a potion of death to this desperate man in Mantua. Apparently he was going to use it in Juliet's grave. As he told me this I remembered Romeo was in Mantua. Could he have heard of Juliet's death and without thinking was going to kill himself? But, then I thought Romeo seems like a smart man I don't think he would do that. At least I hope so.

What news! What news! Paris dead and Romeo dead. Also was found with a dagger in her. Oh the tragedy, all this deaths leads to bleakness. Young lovers gone. Paris went in and Romeo went in they died. Not only them but Lady Montague died. Poor Montague his wife and only son died. Such horrible news. This means I will no longer get to see Juliet's smiling face. It seems my purpose in life is gone never to return. Many who are dear to me have passed away.

Montague: For I will raise her statue in pure; That whiles Verona by the name is known, There shall no figure at such rate be set As that of true and faithful Juliet.

Act5 Scene3 Page 289 lines: 299-302

The literary significance is that it reveals a character. This quote is said at the end of Act5 Scene3 when Capulet, Montague, Prince and others find Juliet, Romeo and Paris dead. Montague can finally see a Capulet not as an enemy but as a person and person he respects. He respects Juliet and decides to build a monument to her. This is important to The Nurse because Montague is giving as much respect to Juliet as The Nurse would and shows how he has changed.

Act 4

Juliet came back from confessions. I was there when she went to her father and apologized for being disobedient. Ah, Juliet she is a smart girl. Apologizing was the right thing to do. Capulet was very pleased when Juliet did this. Good for her! We were preparing for the marriage and boy it was busy. I was running errands for Lady Capulet. It was very tiring. I got a break from it and was told to go to wake my dear Juliet.

What a surprise was waiting for me. Juliet was dead! I was in shock and so upset. I can not believe that happened. I am so sad this is the worst problem yet. It is another sorrowful day for the Capulet's. Paris will not be getting married Capulet and Lady Capulet lost their only daughter. Everyone is upset. Peter was so upset he was getting into a fight with the musicians. First Tybalt dead now Juliet things are becoming worse and worse.

Nurse: She's dead, deceased, she's dead; alack the day! Act4 Scene5 page 245 line: 23. The literary significance is to demonstrate a particular dramatic technique. The technique is dramatic irony.The quote is said in the beginning of Act4 scene5 when The Nurse finds Juliet seemingly dead. It is dramatic irony because the audience knows that Juliet might not be dead because she got a potion that makes her look dead, but The Nurse, Lady Capulet and Capulet does not know that. This quote is important because if The Nurse never thought Juliet was dead the story might have changed and it would not be dramatic irony. It shows how much unhappness The Nurse has if Juliet died.

Act 3

I heard such terrible news. The young Tybalt has died! Oh it's horrible, so horrible! I heard Romeo killed Tybalt. Juliet's love a murderer! I am angry at Romeo, but at the same time I must not be for he is Juliet's husband. Romeo is banished. It was a sad day in the house of Capulet. I had to deliver the unhappy news to Juliet. When I told her Tybalt was dead and Romeo banished she was very upset. Who could blame her? Her cousin dead and her newly husband banished. Poor Juliet she must be going through a tough time.

I went to Friar Laurence's cell to see if I could find Romeo. When I got there Friar told me Romeo was crying just like Juliet. I told Romeo to get up and to be a real man! It was pitiful the way he was acting. I know he was upset but he is a man and instead of crying he should have been making a plan to be with Juliet. Crying never solved anything. Then, Friar told Romeo to spend the night with Juliet and leave in the morning to Mantua. That Friar is smart. I hope it works.

The other day I overheard Paris talking with Capulet. I completely forgot about Paris! They were talking about Paris marring Juliet! This is not good. Juliet is already married and she can not go against the word of her father. Things took a turn for the worse. Then Lady Capulet told Juliet about the marriage with Paris. Juliet said she did not want to marry Paris. Well, when Capulet heard of that he was very angry. He was yelling and finally said if she did not marry Paris then she would live on the streets. After that she came to me for advice. I think for her safety she should marry Paris. Romeo is banished and Paris is not. I told her to marry Paris. I think it is for the best.

Nurse: O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! O courteous Tybalt! honest gentleman!

Act3 Scene2 page 161 Lines: 61-62

The literary significance is that it reveals a character. The speaker is The Nurse and this quote was said when The Nurse tells Juliet of the death of Tybalt and the banishment of Romeo. It reveals that The Nurse is very close to Tybalt. We know this because in the quote The Nurse says "Tybalt, the best friend I had!" This implies that The Nurse was close with Tybalt. Not only was The Nurse close to Tybalt but, we also know that she thinks highly of Tybalt because in the quote she calls Tybalt courteous and an honest gentleman.
