Question

Can someone help with Romeo and Juliet Act V questions?


@KyanTheDoodle @sleepyjess

Answer 1

What are the questions?

Answer 2

Why does Juliet feel she cannot marry Paris?

She is already married in the eyes of the church.
She does not like the way Paris acts around her.
She wants to be able to make her own decisions.
She is angry with her family and wants to oppose them.

I think this one is A

Answer 3

I think is C

Answer 4

Yes it is A, because of the traditions during the ages back then. Since Romeo and Juliet were already married that would be essentially cheating on Romeo. The one she loves. Her love is further emphasized when Juliet kills herself upon seeing Romeo's death at the scene before the end of the play.

Answer 5

Thanks.
Can you help with a few more questions?

Answer 6

Which of the following lines show Mercutio's feelings about Tybalt?

true, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air
And more inconstant than the wind, who wooes
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,
And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,
Turning his face to the dew-dropping south.

Good King of Cats, nothing but one of your nine lives, that I mean to make bold withal, and, as you shall use me hereafter, dry-beat the rest of the eight. Will you pluck your sword out of his pilcher by the ears? Make haste, lest mine be about your ears ere it be out.

No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, 'twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man.

Nay, I'll conjure too!
Romeo! Humours, madman, passion, lover!
Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh!

Answer 7

Sure. As for the answer, I believe that it would be "Good King of Cats, nothing but one of your nine lives, that I mean to make bold withal, and, as you shall use me hereafter, dry-beat the rest of the eight. Will you pluck your sword out of his pilcher by the ears? Make haste, lest mine be about your ears ere it be out." because those words are meant as insults against Tybalt. Remember that Mercutio and Tybalt come from rival or opposing enemies in a feud. This is also one of the instigations of the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio, when they die in Act 3 I believe.

Answer 8

Which of the following lines foreshadows Romeo's tragic end?

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.

'Tis almost morning; I would have thee gone:
And yet no further than a wanton's bird;
Who lets it hop a little from her hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,
And with a silk thread plucks it back again,
So loving-jealous of his liberty.

O God, I have an ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of a tom
Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.

Answer 9

To my opinion it could have been either" But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she."
or
" O God, I have an ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of a tom
Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale."
However I am leaning with the thought of " But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she." because the centralized theme is because of death due to the hatred of the two families. In short it is meant to be about the death due to a forbidden love.

Answer 10

I was just about to say I thought it was D because it sounds like he might be discovering Juliet's death...? Not totally sure though.

Answer 11

You have gave a good point. I suppose that you could choose D because that does seem that Juliet is making a premonition of Romeo's Death.

Answer 12

Excellent Deduction Leah. :)

Answer 13

Thank you :)

Answer 14

What does the following speech mean?

Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,
Profaners of this neighbor-stained steel—
Will they not hear? What, ho! you men, you beasts
That quench the fire of your pernicious rage
With purple fountains issuing from your veins,
On pain of torture, from those bloody hands
Throw your mistemper'd weapons to the ground,
And hear the sentence of your moved prince.
Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,
By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,
Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets,
And made Verona's ancient citizens
Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments,
To wield old partisans, in hands as old,
Canker'd with peace, to part your canker'd hate;
If ever you disturb our streets again,
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.
For this time, all the rest depart away:
You Capulet; shall go along with me:
And, Montague, come you this afternoon,
To know our further pleasure in this case,
To old Free-town, our common judgment-place.
Once more, on pain of death, all men depart.

Mercutio is deciding to join the Montagues in their fight against the Capulet family.

Romeo is telling the Capulets and the Montagues that they should stop their fighting.

The Prince is stating that anyone who fights in Verona's streets will be put to death.

Juliet is planning to run away with Romeo after the fighting between their families stops.

Answer 15

I think it might be C...

Answer 16

The prince is making a decree that any disputes that the people have must not be settle out in public upon the threat of death. "
Answer: "The Prince is stating that anyone who fights in Verona's streets will be put to death."
Text evidence:
* "That quench the fire of your pernicious rage
With purple fountains issuing from your veins,
On pain of torture, from those bloody hands
Throw your mistemper'd weapons to the ground,
And hear the sentence of your moved prince."
* "If ever you disturb our streets again,
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace."

Answer 17

Why does Romeo drink the poison he's obtained from the apothecary?

He does not know it is poison.
He is going to be executed.
He thinks Juliet is dead.
He is not in love with Juliet.

I wanna say either B or C on this.

Answer 18

Remember that Romeo had gone to the apothecary after he heard the news of Juliet's supposed death so stricken with grief he wanted to join his love in the afterlife after his speech to Juliet.
Answer: "He thinks Juliet is dead."

Answer 19

Two more left and they're almost the same exact question.
