Act V- The REAL ending of the story

I think that Fair Lawrence will not be killed, but taken away from Verona. I think this because of what he says when he realizes that Juliet and Romeo are both died because of what he did. When Friar Lawrance says "and, if aught in this Miscarried by my fault, let my old life Be sacrific'd, some hour before his time, Unto the rigour of severest law"(Shakespeare 300). He means that because of what the law states that he is ok with being kill because of what he did. He will sacrifice his life for what he thought would be a happy ending but really wasn't. But I do not think that he will be killed but be taken away from Verona because of how honest he was about the killing of Romeo and Juliet and knowing that he did something wrong. Also on how he was trying to help Romeo and Juliet for being together forever and never being separate because of their love together. That how I think the ending for Friar Lawrence will end up like.
This is when Friar Lawrence tells the people that he was the one the made Romeo and Juliet die. 

I think that Nurse end up nursing another little girl as she did for Juliet. I think this because of how happy she was with Juliet and how will she took care of Juliet and maybe a mom has a lot on her hands as Lady Capulet did and she will be hired for another mom. " O woe! O woeful, woeful, woeful day! Most lamentable day, most woeful day, that ever, ever, I did yet behold! O day! O day! O hateful day! never was seen so black a day as this. O woeful day, O woeful day!" says Nurse (256). This is the day when Nurse comes up to Juliet’s bed and sees that Juliet is "died". When she says "o woe day" is means "oh sad days". As you can see she is very sad and never wanted this to happen. Nurse even seems sadder then Lady Capulet did. This shows that Nurses is very sad without Juliet and wants her to be back alive. She is sad without anyone to watch and anyone to clean up for. Also a little girl tugging on her dress saying, “Can I have help." She misses that and so that why I think she will end up watching another little girl.

I think that Lord Capulet will end up being a very nice man and be always friends with the Montague and forget about Juliet death. I think this because when the Lord Capulet and Lord Montague were working out their problems with Prince Escalus. " O brothers Montague, give me thy hand. This is my daughter's jointure, for no more Can I demand "(302) This is the day when Juliet dies because of how Romeo dies. This is the end of the book, which wrap it all together.  This shows how Lord Capulet will become very nice and be friends with the Montage because of how he was making up with the Montage and actually saw what the fight has done to his daughter, Romeo and Paris. I think this is how Lord Capulet will end up like a very nice, sweet man.

Act IV- Juliet

Of all the characters in Act IV, I have sympathy for Juliet. Juliet has gone through some hard time through the past two acts and it seems that nothing has gone right for her.

The reason I have sympathy for Juliet is because she has to pretend to die because Lady Capulet and Lord Capulet will only let her marry Paris and nobody else. When Juliet says, I will not marry Paris; Lord Capulet gets very mad and starts to beat her. He says to her," Graze where you will, I'll pardon you. Look to 't, think on 't, I do not use to jest" (Shakespeare 216). The quote is saying that Lord Capulet will not let Juliet stay with him anymore and also to go find another place to live. Another quote that shows it is when Lord Capulet says, "For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee, Nor what is mine shall never do thee good."This shows how Lord Capulet will not let Juliet live with Lord Capulet anymore and that he will not acknowledge her as his daughter (216).

Another reason why I feel sympathy for Juliet is when Romeo was being banished and she is never going to see him again. When Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt killed Mercutio and Romeo was told he had to be banished. Juliet was sad for two reason, one because her cousin was killed but most of all her cousin was killed by Romeo. Juliet thought that this was the last time they would ever see each other again. I felt very bad for Romeo and Juliet because they were just married and know Romeo has to leave Verona for Mutual. A quote that shows this is when Juliet say," Wash they his Wounds with tears? Mine shall be spent, When theirs are dry, for Romeo's banishment "(183). Juliet is saying that they are washing Tybalt wounds with their tears but hers will be shed when they are dry for Romeo.

    Blog 4- Juilet's Dairy

    Dear dairy,

    It all seems a daze to me. It has happen so fast that it almost feels like a dream. The events that have happen yesterday and today just don't seem real to me. Tybult is dead but what is worse is that my sweet, wonderful, lovely Romeo has killed Tybult. Now Romeo is being banished forever and I am forced to marry Paris. All Romeo was doing was trying to stop the fight between Mercutio and Tybult but what happen was Tybult and Mercutio had to die and Prince Escalus blamed it all on my sweet Romeo. 


    This is where Romeo, Tybult and Mercuito are fighting

    Another problem is that I am being forced to marry Paris. Paris is a very kind man and all but not anything like my husband, Romeo. I need somebody to help me get out of this marriage and fast because it is taking place this Thursday. The only help I can get if Fair Laurence can quit the marriage because he knows that I am married Romeo and nobody can change that. Romeo and I are married already, but I cannot tell anyone because it is a secret. I told my dad I was not marrying Paris but all he did was slap and hit me. So I don’t know if I should tell him that I am already married and there is no way I am marrying Paris.

    Dairy, I feel as if you are the only one left in this world. My mom and my dad are all excited about me marrying Paris when I hate Paris. Nurse is making me forgot about Romeo and think about Paris.

    Dairy help me through these problems and know that all I tell you here is a secret. Also hopefully I will get out of marrying Paris and know that my dreams of being with Romeo forever will come true. There is one thing I have not told anyone yet, it is that if Romeo is set to died or does die then it is my farewell to the world and into heaven to spend my life where Romeo is.

    Sincerely,
    Juliet

    Blog Post #3- Decisions


    I do believe in Nurse and Friar Laurence's actions in helping with the secret wedding. I do believe in the secret wedding because maybe they are trying to help Juliet and Romeo with their love. One quote that shows this is when Nurse says, “No, truly, sir; not a penny." This shows how Nurse will help Romeo, and Romeo asked Nurse if she will take money for it but she 
    says not at all. Another good reason why Friar Laurence and Nurse help Romeo and Juliet with their love is to maybe stop the war between the two families. One quote that shows this is when Friar Laurence says to Romeo," This alliance may so happy prove To turn your households' rancour to pure love." These two quotes show how Friar Laurence and Nurse have good reasons to help set up the secret wedding. I think that is very good how they take a risk for Romeo and Juliet's love life.  I think that is very good and they are doing the right thing.
