3. 5-a-day 1
Romeo jumps the Capulet wall. Juliet proclaims they should marry the next day. They both have soliloquys. Juliet seems demanding in this scene “doff thy name” and Romeo uses lots of light imagery “Juliet is the sun”. Romeo uses blazon language and is unrealistic compared to Juliet. 2
Hyperbolic language means exaggerative. 3
The inspector says this to show everyone has social responsibility. 4
“all flesh is grass” shows that everyone dies and becomes the earth- shows the war photographer sees everything as death now. 5
The Cratchit eat a goose on Christmas day but are delighted!

Tybalt challenged Romeo to a duel when he was at the ball in Act 1 Scene 5 he was extremely angry and said it was making his “flesh tremble”
In this scene Benvolio and Mercutio are talking about it.
Romeo and Mercutio tease each other and the religious language he used before with Juliet has gone.
The Nurse arrives to tell Romeo to meet at the Friar’s at 2pm. Romeo and Mercutio speak rudely to the Nurse.
Romeo asks the Nurse to get Juliet to go to confession this afternoon. She will marry in secret.
The Nurse agrees but doesn’t hold back in saying that Juliet she really marry Paris.

5. This scene is full of sexual innuendoes and language about conflict which JUXTAPOSES Romeo’s religious language in Act 1 Scene 5 and light imagery in Act 2 Scene 2
Lads, lads, lads!

22. Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here
Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here! Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes

23. Jesu Maria, what a deal of brine Hath wash’d they sallow cheeks for Rosaline How much salt water thrown away in waste To season love, that of it doth not taste!

24. The old groans yet ringing in mine ancient ear Lo here upon thy cheek the stain sit Of an old tear that is not wash’d off yet. If e’er thou was thyself, and these woes thine Thou and those woes were all for Rosaline

25. And art thou changed? Pronounce this sentence: Women may fall, when there’s no strength in men

26. Comprehension questions
1.) What does he mean when he says “Young men’s love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes”? 2.) When he says “the old groans yet ringing in they ancient ear” he means that he heard Romeo moan about Rosaline only a day before. Can you find 2 quotations from Act 1 to show that Romeo has only recently been moaning about Rosaline? 3.) Is the Friar convinced that Romeo has moved on when he says “art thou changed?” 4.) He says at the end “there’s no strength in men”. Why is he calling Romeo weak?

27. “Holy Saint Francis” “Jesu Maria” “Benedicte!”
Shows how Friar Laurence has a relaxed attitude to his religion. Is he trustworthy?
“Holy Saint Francis” “Jesu Maria” “Benedicte!”
