Act 3 Scene 3: Romeo’s dramatic reaction Thursday 19th October 2017 C/L Act 3 Scene 3: Romeo’s dramatic reaction LESSON OBJECTIVE: To engage with how we know that Romeo is being dramatic about being banished. LESSON OUTCOME: To contrast him with Juliet in a clear contrastive paragraph.

Act 3 Scene 3 Romeo is hiding with the Friar. Romeo is dramatic about being banished from Verona. There's a knock at the door, Friar is afraid it is the Prince’s men and tells Romeo to hide. Luckily, it's only the Nurse at the door. She and the Friar try to deal with Romeo, who keeps threatening really mature things like stabbing himself out of guilt for hurting Juliet. The Friar has a plan that Romeo and Juliet can have one night together before Romeo leaves Verona. Later, he promises, they'll be able to figure out a way to get Romeo pardoned by the Prince so he can come back to Verona and make his marriage to Juliet public knowledge. Hearing this plan, Romeo recovers and runs off to see Juliet. Quick Brain Snack: marriages in the Catholic Church weren't consider valid unless they'd been consummated—i.e., the two people had to have sex. If Juliet and Romeo don't sleep together, Juliet's dad will be able to get the marriage declared invalid and marry her off to Paris.

She wishes she was dead yet that’s a combination of losing Tybalt AND Romeo. Once she realises that Romeo HAD to kill Tybalt she gets the Nurse to find Romeo and is calmer.

Also it demonstrates how he is immaturely not appreciating that he was given a better option to be banished than to die, he is instead only seeing the worst part of his situation. However Juliet’s reaction to Romeo’s banishment is more mature, because whilst she was very upset and did claim that it was as bad as her mother and father being dead too, she soon realises that she needs to stop crying and she says “_______________”. This reveals…
