The only two characters in this scene are Friar Laurence, Romeo, and the nurse makes a brief appearance at the end. The Friar tells Romeo that the Prince of Verona gave Romeo a light sentence for his murder of Tybalt, instead of being sentenced to death, Romeo is merely banished from Verona. As per usual, Romeo start moaning in Iambic pentameter. What a baby! Anyways, according to Romeo, for him, Juliet the world for him, and banishment from the town she lives in is banishment from his world, and banishment from the world is just another way of saying death. I'm pretty sure that sentence just killed some Logic Majors, but whatever. Romeo is so sad that he literally throws himself on the floor. Soon after, someone starts knocking on the Friar's door, so Friar Laurence tries to hide Romeo so that neither of them get in trouble. Of course, Romeo can't be bothered. Fortunately for the both of them, it is merely the Nurse knocking on the door, and she means neither of them any harm. The nurse explains that Juliet is similarly depressed, and Romeo is right about to kill himself, thinking Juliet was sad because her cousin Tybalt is dead. The nurse quickly explains that Juliet is sad because she will be separated from Romeo, much to his relief.
PROMPT B:
I think the theme of this scene is pity-as much as I hate Romeo, you can't help but feel pity as his entire world collapses around him.
PROMPT E:
Your picture and its description are really funny, and true! Especially the part about how he needs to stay away from sharp objects. Also, I like how you said that he relies on Friar Lawrence to solve all of his problems. Good Job!
