What are at least two things Capulet mentions to contrast Juliet’s wedding
and Juliet’s funeral?
In light of Juliet’s “death,” Capulet mentions that Death is now his son-in-law and his heir. He also says that the happy wedding festival will now be replaced by a solemn funeral with sad music instead of joyous choruses. The bridal corsages will be replaced by funeral flowers, and the predominant colors for the ceremony will now be dark instead of light. Their time of celebration will be cancelled in favor of a time for mourning.
In light of Juliet’s “death,” Capulet mentions that flowers are beautiful at both weddings and funerals. He also says that the happy wedding festival will now be replaced by a funeral celebrating Juliet's life. The predominant colors for the ceremony will still be white and yellow to celebrate Juliet's purity and joyous spirit. Their celebration will be now be of a short life gone instead of a long life expected.
In light of Juliet’s “death,” Capulet mentions that he and his wife are unexpectedly crying over a death instead of looking forward to possible grandchildren. He also says that he never expected that he would attend his daughter's funeral, instead of her attending his. Capulet says that fighting and feuds are for men, not women, and he expected only Capulet males to die. Capulet says that marriage is a business that looks forward, but a funeral is a business that looks only backward.
In light of Juliet’s “death,” Capulet mentions a marriage is like a beautiful day, but a funeral is like a dark night. He also says that the forced marriage will now be replaced by a funeral chosen by the would-be bride. Juliet is now in a peaceful place, rather than in the violent Verona. He will mourn the loss of his daughter but accept her choice.
What is the friar’s plan for helping Romeo and Juliet be together? Is it a good plan or a bad plan? How is the plan dangerous, and how could it go wrong? Is it necessary for the plan to be as complicated as it is? How does the friar take advantage of Juliet’s state of mind in getting her to accept the plan? How would you have planned things differently?
The friar’s plan for bringing Romeo and Juliet together at first included the faking of Juliet’s death. Then he changes the plan so that she does not take a potion to appear dead. Instead, Juliet will just pretend to be dead and the friar will distract everyone. She will be placed in the Capulet family tomb, and Romeo, upon receiving word of the plan, will rush to his beloved’s side and free her from the tomb. The two will then be able to escape from Verona together without either of their families knowing. Of course, there are many factors that could go wrong with the plan. Juliet’s pretense could be inadequate. She also considers the possibilities of either suffocating in the crypt or of going mad when she finds herself surrounded by her dead ancestors. Unfortunately, she never considers the real possibility that Romeo might not receive the friar’s message. She never considers that Romeo might kill himself. Tragedy can be avoided since Friar Laurence decides to go with a less-complicated plan. The friar gets Juliet to accept his new plan by agreeing that her fears are valid. I agree with Juliet that the new plan is better. I think it would be even better for Romeo and Juliet to steal away together in a manner that doesn’t threaten their lives.
The friar’s plan for bringing Romeo and Juliet together includes the faking of Juliet’s death. After drinking the friar’s potion, Juliet will appear dead and will be placed in the Capulet family tomb. Romeo, upon receiving word of the plan, will rush to his beloved’s side and free her from the tomb. The two will then be able to escape from Verona together without either of their families knowing. Of course, there are many factors that could go wrong with the dangerous plan. As Juliet observes in Act IV, the potion that makes her appear dead could actually kill her. She also considers the possibilities of either suffocating in the crypt or of going mad when she finds herself surrounded by her dead ancestors. She also considers the real possibility that Romeo might not receive the friar’s message in time to prevent drastic actions. The young Montague has already threatened to kill himself at the suggestion of his banishment, so Juliet is very worried. She decides, however, to trust the friar. Tragedy is surely inevitable if Romeo is under the impression that Juliet is dead. Death could be avoided if Friar Laurence would go with a less-complicated plan. He should just go the Montagues and Capulets and tell them their children are married. The friar gets Juliet to accept his difficult plan by preying on her fragile state of mind. Because she is desperate, she is not thinking clearly. In the holy man’s same position, I would have arranged for a visiting friar to take them to another city.
The friar’s plan for bringing Romeo and Juliet together includes the faking of Juliet’s death. After taking a poition of the friar’s creation, Juliet will appear dead and will be placed in the Capulet family tomb. Romeo, upon receiving word of the plan, will rush to his beloved’s side and free her from the tomb. The two will then be able to escape from Verona together without either of their families knowing. Of course, there are many factors that could go wrong with the dangerous plan. As Juliet observes in Act IV, the potion that makes her appear dead could actually kill her.

The young Montague has already threatened to kill himself at the suggestion of his banishment. Tragedy is surely inevitable if Romeo is under the impression that Juliet is dead. Death could be avoided if Friar Laurence simply goes with a less-complicated plan. If, for instance, the potion isn’t used and Juliet is taken away from Verona in secret, then the possibility of death will be greatly decreased. The friar gets Juliet to accept his difficult plan by preying on her fragile state of mind. She is so desparate for a solution to her problem, she willing to do anything that her “ghostly confessor” might suggest. In the holy man’s same position, I would have planned for Romeo and Juliet to steal away together in a manner that doesn’t threaten their lives.
The friar’s plan for bringing Romeo and Juliet together includes conducting a wedding ceremony and then presenting the couple to their families in front of the Prince. The Prince will protect the young couple. This is a good plan that will protect Romeo and Juliet. The two will then be able to stay in Verona together with their families’ blessings. Of course, there are many factors that could go wrong with the plan. The families might continue the feud even in front of the Prince. They could also just pretend to accept the marriage, but then kill Romeo later. The Montagues might even attack Juliet. Tragedy is avoidable, but success is definitely not certain. The friar gets Juliet to accept his difficult plan by relying on her hopes and dreams. In the holy man’s same position, I would have made the same plan.
