Romeo and Juliet
ACT I
Prologue
A single character (called the Chorus) describes the setting (the city of Verona) and the major events of the play. He explains that children from two feuding families will fall in love and kill themselves, and that their deaths will end the families’ battle. The prologue is written in a special form of poetry known as the Elizabethan sonnet.
Scene 1Servants from both families meet on the street and prepare to fight. Benvolio (the nephew of Lord Montague) comes on the scene to break up the fight. Tybalt (the nephew of Lord Capulet) hates peace, and challenges Benvolio to a fight.
The violence escalates, police try stop the chaos, and finally Prince Escalus arrives on the scene. He announces that all dueling must stop, and anybody caughtdueling will be put to death.
Romeo’s parents talk with Benvolio and ask if he knows why Romeo has been so moody. Benvolio says he doesn’t know, but the parents leave and Benvolio confronts Romeo. Romeo is in love with Rosaline, a woman has taken a vow of chastity (which means that she will never marry). Benvolio says that he needs to meet somebody new.
Scene 2
Capulet talks with Paris, arelative of the Prince. Paris wants to marry Juliet, but Capulet asks him to be patient and to win her heart. Capulet then sends his servant to invite people to a big party that he is having that night. The servant can’t read the note, and asks Romeo to read it for him. Romeo learns that Rosaline will be at the party, so he decides to attend. Because the party is a masquerade, Romeo thinks that no onewill recognize him. Benvolio also wishes to go, so he can introduce Romeo to some other young ladies.
Scene 3
The nurse, Lady Capulet, and Juliet are engaged in a conversation. The nurse is loving woman who is very rough, and often speaks about inappropriate topics. Lady Capulet is the opposite; she is refined, beautiful, and well-spoken. Lady Capulet informs Juliet that Paris wants to marryher, but Juliet says that marriage “is an honor I dream not of.” Juliet agrees to go to the party and take a look at Paris.
Scene 4
Romeo, Benvolio, and Mercutio are on their way to the party. Romeo is still depressed, and Mercutio (a relative of the prince) tries to cheer him up with a fanciful story.
Scene 5
Capulet welcomes the guests, and tries to encourage everyone to dance. Romeo spotsJuliet across the room and falls instantly in love. At the same time, Tybalt hears Romeo’s voice, recognizes that he is a Montague, and vows to kill him. Capulet tries to calm Tybalt down, and eventually has to scold him, and Tybalt puts the battle aside—for now. Tybalt decides that he will fight Romeo at a later time.
Romeo meets Juliet, and the attraction is mutual. He presses his handagainst hers, speaks some romantic words, and manages to kiss her twice before they are interrupted by the nurse. Only then does Romeo learn that she is a Capulet. Likewise, Juliet learns that Romeo is a Montague, and expressed her feelings in a famous ironic phrase. “My only love sprung from my only hate”
ACT II
Scene 1
Benvolio and Mercutio have lost track of Romeo. The think he is still inlove with Rosaline, and suppose that he is moping and whining.
Scene 2
Romeo is in the orchard of the Capulets, and sees Juliet on her balcony.
“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…”
Romeo is saying that Juliet is the new light in his life, and she is much brighter than the old light(Rosaline). He is comparing Juliet to the sun and Rosaline to the moon, and we call this type of comparison a metaphor.
Juliet does not know he is there, and speaks to herself. When a character thinks aloud, it is called a soliloquy.
“O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.”...
