1. Patriarchy is when the male figure in the family has the most authority.

Dramatic Irony is when the audience know something that the characters don’t know.

3″Of my child’s love:I think she will be rul’d In all respects by me”

“Well, get you gone, a’Thursday be it then.”

4. Shakespeare highlights patriarchy in Act 3 Scene 4 by showing how Lord Capulet arranges Juliet’s wedding without asking her for permission. ” Of my child’s love:I think she will be rul’d In all respects by me.” This shows that Lord Capulet is the male figure of authority in the Capulet family, this is because he didn’t ask Juliet about what she thought about the marriage.

Task 2

“Hold thy desperate hand” to” What rouse thee,man! Thy Juliet is alive”

“What rouse thee, man!Thy Juliet is alive” to “Go get thee to thy love as was decreed ”

“Go get thee to thy love as was decreed” to ” Romeo is coming ”

task 3

I would read the lines where the Friar tells off Romeo loudly and with authority.”Hold thy desperate hand!” I would try to seem bigger than him to gain more authority.

1.Foreshadowing-A warning or a indication of a future event.

2. Juliet would rather die a virgin if she can’t see Romeo again.

3. “Is death misterm’d.Calling death ‘banished’ “

At the beginning of the scene Juliet feels very exited because she is impatient to see Romeo.”O Nurse what the news?”Juliet feels  confused because she thinks that  Romeo has died.

1) The Nurse is very shocked when she finds out that Romeo killed Tybalt beacuse she feels betrayed as she was very nice to him and even helped him to arrange  the wedding.”There is no trust,No faith,no honesty in men”This shows that the Nurse is very angry at Romeo and is thinking that no man should be trusted.

2) Juliet  is confused because the Nurse is in a state of shock because Juliet thinks that Romeo is dead. When the nurse starts to talk negatively about Romeo Juliet defends Romeo because she loves him.”Blister’d be thy tongue” Juliet is telling the Nurse not to talk bad about Romeo.

3)The Nurse promises to bring Romeo to Juliet because the Nurse fells pitty for her.This is beacuse she would rather die a virgin if she is not going to see Romeo again.Juliet

3)Juliet’s language and the use of antithesis in her speech to the Nurse highlights that Juliet is trying to hate Romeo for killing Tybalt, however she is not able to hate him as she loves Romeo more.

An example of this is in the line:”Beautiful tyrant, fiend angelical”

This idea of opposites runs through the play.An earlier example is “From ancient grudge break to new mutiny”

Shakespeare shows that Romeo kills Tybalt due to male pride because Romeo’s love to Juliet has weakened him. Romeo has the need to hurt Tybalt because he has not only killed his best friend but he has also cussed him and ruined his reputation ” My very friend, hath got this mortal hurt In my behalf; my reputation stain’d With Tybalt’s slander” Romeo

In Act 2 Romeo sneaks into the Capulet mansion and declares his love to Juliet. They decide to arrange their wedding and keep in touch with the nurse. Tybalt challenges Romeo, Romeo arranges the wedding with Friar Lawrence and they get married.

Starter: Romeo asks the nurse to arrange for Juliet to go to be at Friar Lawrence’s cell in the afternoon.Also Romeo’s servant will go to her and throw a rope ladder so Romeo can see Juliet. Also Romeo wants her to put a good word for Romeo because Paris wants to marry Juliet too.

How does Shakespeare’s use of language in Juliet’s speech at the start of Act 2 Scene 5 highlights her impatience and the strength of her feelings for Romeo?

Shakespare uses the reference to time to show how impatient Juliet is as she had sent her at nine and now it was midday.

1. Caring

2. Lenient

3. Protective

4. Noble

5. Defensive

The nurse is a very protective woman as she is always looking out for Juliet. She is very strong-willed as she knows how to stand up for herself. She is also very understanding as she is allowing Romeo and Juliet to marry each other as she has already made sure that Romeo has good intentions.
