1 Mr. Bovaird Name: Block: Romeo and Juliet Act IV Study Guide Study Questions: 1. At the beginning of this act, Paris thinks that Juliet is upset and crying over. 2. Capulet is rushing Juliet to marry Paris for what reason? 3. Juliet turns toward as a source for help when everyone else has rejected her. 4. What are the details that this person includes in his/her plan to help Juliet? 5. How long is the potion to last? 6. What does Capulet do when Juliet returns from shrift in such a seemingly good mood? 7. What does Lady Capulet think about Capulet s present decision? 8. Capulet puts his wife s mind at ease by telling her that he. Page 1

2 9. What is Juliet s excuse that she uses to sleep by herself? 10. Before she takes the potion, Juliet fears several things: a. c. b. d. 11. What does Juliet plan to do if the potion fails to work properly? 12. Who discovers Juliet the morning of the wedding? 13. Instead of a wedding, a takes place. Quotable Quotes: Directions: Place the name of the character who speaks these words in the blank on the left. 1. My father Capulet will have it so, And I am nothing slow to slack his haste. 2. Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt s death, And therefore have I little talked of love, For Venus smiles not in a house of tears. 3. Tell me not, Friar, that thou hearest of this, Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it. If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I ll help it presently. Page 2

3 4. Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope, Which craves as desperate an execution As that is desperate which we would prevent. If, rather than to marry County Paris, Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself, Then is it likely thou wilt undertake A thing like death to chide away this shame That cop st with death himself to scape from it; And if thou darest, I ll give thee remedy. 5. Or hide me nightly in a charnel house, O ercovered quite with dead men s rattling bones, With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls; Or bid me go into a new-made grave And hide me with a dead man in his shroud 6. Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilling liquor drink thou off; When presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse Shall keep his naïve progress, but surcease. 7. Go, Nurse. Go with her. We ll to church tomorrow. 8. My dismal scene I needs must act alone. Come vial. What if this mixture do not work at all? Shall I be married then tomorrow morning? No, no! This shall forbid it! 9. Come, stir, stir, stir! The second cock hath crowed, The curfew bell hath rung. This three o clock Look to the baked meat, good Angelica. Spare not for cost. 10. Where I have learned me to repent the sin Of disobedient opposition To you and your behests, and am enjoined By holy Lawrence to fall prostrate here To beg you pardon. Page 3

4 11. Farewell. God knows when we shall meet again. I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins That almost freezes up the heat of life. 12. What, dressed, and in your clothes, and down again? I must needs wake you. Lady, lady, lady! Alas, alas! Help, help! My lady s dead. O weraday, that ever I was born! Some aqua vitae, ho! My lord! My lady! 13. Death lies on her like an untimely frost Upon the sweetest flower of all the field. 14. Death is my son-in-law; death is my heir; My daughter he hath wedded. 15. Your part in her you could not keep from death, But heaven keeps his part in eternal life. The most you sought was her promotion, For twas your heaven she should be advanced; And weep you now, seeing she is advanced Above the clouds, as high as heaven itself? 16. Beguiled, divorcéd, wrongéd, spited, slain! Most detestable death, by thee beguiled, By cruel, cruel thee quite overthrown! O love! O life! Not life, but love in death! 17. She s not well married that lives married long, But she s best married that dies married young. Page 4

5 Directions: There are many ironies in the characters speeches in Act IV. The irony may lie in the fact that the character is saying one thing but means another; or the irony may be in the fact that the audience knows something that the character does not. For each quote below, briefly describe why it is ironic. 1. PARIS: Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt s death, And therefore have I little talked of love; For Venus smiles not in a house of tears. 2. PARIS: Happly met, my lady and my wife! JULIET: That may be, sir, when I may be a wife. 3. CAPULET: How now, my headstrong? Where have You been gadding? JULIET: Where I have learnt me to repent the sin Of disobedient opposition To you and your behests, and am enjoined By holy Lawrence to fall prostrate here To beg you pardon. Pardon, I beseech you! 4. FRIAR LAWRENCE: For though fond nature bids us all lament Yet nature s tears are reason s merriment. Page 5
