Romeo and Juliet act 1 scene 5 summary

Sunday night

Romeo meets Juliet at the party then they start to talk to each other and they start to flirt with each other clearly showing that they love each other and they kiss not once but twice. Romeo asks the nurse who Juliet’s mom was not knowing that she is a Caplet then the nurse tells him that her mother is lady capulet and he starts to worry about there future life seen as there families are enemies. When all the guests leave, Juliet speaks to the nurse and the nurse tells her that he is a Montague and she states that she loves him using this quote “go ask his name if he be married, my grave is like to be my wedding bed”. This quote is saying that she needs to find out if Romeo had a girl friend and she means that they can’t be together because of there families so she will die loving him.

    You’ve explained the chance meeting between Romeo and Juliet well. I’m pleased to see you using quotations from the script to strengthen your answers, especially because you’re also explaining those quotes in your own words.

    When you quote from a Shakespearian play, it’s a good idea to use a slash / to show the line breaks.

    There are some key events from this scene missing: Tybalt’s wanting to kill Romeo for attending the party uninvited is one of these, as is the speed at which Romeo forgot Rosaline, with whom he had previously been besotted.

    A learning point for you is to memorise the difference between: their, they’re and there.

    Welcome to your new blog, by the way.
