Act IV analyze and interpret
1. In Paris’s perspective, he thought that Juliet reconsidered about marrying but she
was going to “kill” herself.

2. (A) Like mentioned before, Prais does not know that Juliet will drink a potion to
“die,” only the audience, Juliet, and the Friar know.

(B) it presents dramatic irony because it refers to Juliet’s Loyalty to Romeo and
that she would die for him.

3. Because the audience knows she is alive, it allows them to focus on the emotional
side of the scene, in which Juliet's family sees her “dead.”

4. (A) Capulet’s encounter with the fellows makes a lighthearted, spirited


environment, which makes the mood joyful.

(B) it serves to be a light and humorous part of the play so later we the disturbing
stuff.

5. (A) The pun between the nurse and the musician alludes to the sudden change of
situation in where Juliet “dies.”

(B) it lightens the mood after the speeches, filled with grief, that follow the
discovery of Juliet's “dead” body.
