3. ROMEO AND JULIET ACT III SCENE IV Summary Capulet, Lady Capulet, and Paris walk together. Capulet says that because of the terrible recent events, he has had no time to ask his daughter about her feelings for Paris. Lady Capulet states that she will know her daughter’s thoughts by the morning. Paris is about to leave when Capulet calls him back and makes what he calls “a desperate tender of my child’s love” (3.4.12–13). Capulet says he thinks his daughter will listen to him, then corrects himself and states that he is sure Juliet will abide by his decision. He promises Paris that the wedding will be held on Wednesday, then stops suddenly and asks what day it is. Paris responds that it is Monday; Capulet decides that Wednesday is too soon, and that the wedding should instead be held on Thursday.

4. ROMEO AND JULIET ACT III SCENE V Summary Just before dawn, Romeo prepares to lower himself from Juliet’s window to begin his exile. The Nurse enters to warn Juliet that Lady Capulet is approaching. Romeo and Juliet tearfully part. Romeo climbs out the window. Romeo hurries away as Juliet pulls in the ladder and begs fate to bring him back to her quickly. Lady Capulet tells Juliet about Capulet’s plan for her to marry Paris on Thursday, explaining that he wishes to make her happy. Juliet is appalled. She rejects the match, saying “I will not marry yet; and when I do, I swear / It shall be Romeo—whom you know I hate— / Rather than Paris” (3.5.121–123). Capulet enters the chamber. When he learns of Juliet’s determination to defy him he becomes enraged and threatens to disown Juliet if she refuses to obey him. Juliet turns to Friar Laurence for help.

5. Romeo and Juliet Act iv Summary Juliet goes to Friar Laurence and finds Paris is there making plans for their wedding. (Remember the wedding got moved to Thursday) Paris leaves, and Juliet insists that Friar Laurence help her find a way out of this wedding. She threatens, “If in thy wisdom though canst give no help/Do though but call my resolution wise/And with this knife I’ll help it presently” (IV.i.50-53) Friar Laurence gives Juliet a potion (Remember... “Virtue turns to vice when being misapplied “). The potion will make Juliet appear dead – slow her heart rate, blanche the color of her face – and will keep her asleep for 42 hours. He will send word to Romeo to meet Juliet once she wakes up from the potion.

6. ”Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distillèd liquor drink thou off, When presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse Shall keep his native progress, but surcease. No warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest. The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade To paly ashes, thy eyes' windows fall Like death when he shuts up the day of life. Each part, deprived of supple government, Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death. And in this borrowed likeness of shrunk death Thou shalt continue two and forty hours, And then awake as from a pleasant sleep. Now, when the bridegroom in the morning comes To rouse thee from thy bed, there art thou dead. Then, as the manner of our country is, In thy best robes uncovered on the bier Thou shalt be borne to that same ancient vault Where all the kindred of the Capulets lie. In the meantime, against thou shalt awake, Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, And hither shall he come, and he and I Will watch thy waking, and that very night Shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua.”

7. Romeo and Juliet Act iv Summary Juliet returns home and apologizes to Capulet, stating that she will go through with the wedding to Paris. Capulet is so ecstatic that he moves the wedding to the next day, Wednesday. Juliet prepares for bed that night and sends her Nurse and Lady Capulet away. She gives a soliloquy where she reveals how frightened she truly is. However, she finally drinks the potion and falls to her bed. The next morning, the day of the wedding, the Nurse discovers the body of, a seemingly dead, Juliet. The family calls Friar Laurence who tries to comfort them with the thought that “now heaven hath all, / And all the better is it for the maid” (IV.v.63-64). He instructs the family to bring Juliet’s body to the family tomb.

17. Grammar Unit: Restrictive vs. Nonrestrictive Appositives Add this information to your notes from Monday and Tuesday. Despite what we have witnessed in all of our previous examples, not all appositive phrases are set off by commas! Restrictive Appositives: In a restrictive appositive, the second element limits or clarifies a word in some crucial way. Appositives that are necessary in order to comprehend the full meaning of a sentence should NOT be set off with commas. Example: Police officer Smith told my brother to file a report about his stolen bike. My brother David likes spaghetti. Remember: R&J Test and Grammar HW due Friday! Masterpiece due Monday!

18. Nonrestrictive Appositives Nonrestrictive Appositives: Nonrestrictive appositives are not necessary to understanding the sentence. It rather provides additional information about the noun being renamed. Non- restrictive appositives are set off by comma(s). Example: Mexico City, the biggest city in the world, has many interesting archaeological sites. My brother's bike, a dark green BMX, was stolen yesterday.
