5.3 Looks may be decieving

Prompt A: Summary
 

Act 5 scene 3 is the most crucial scene in the book. Even though it's more likely for the climax and suspense to be located in the middle of the book, the climax is seen at this particular scene. Paris has already been aware of the "death" of Juliet. Paris being the fiance of Juliet, he goes to her tomb with flowers. Romeo arrives as well and is anxious to see Juliet laying in her death bed. Paris challenges Romeo to a duel and Paris is killed due to the fight. Romeo takes the poison which he bought, and drinks it as he dies slowly while he kisses Juliet. Juliet awakes from her temporary "death" and finds both Romeo and Paris dead. Friar Lawrence enters the tomb, but soon after leaves due to the noise of Juliet which scares him off. Juliet then takes Romeo's dagger and kills herself with it. After awhile, the Prince, the Capulet's and the Montague arrive at the tomb and find the dead bodies. The scene ends with Friar Lawrence giving an account of the marriage of Romeo and Juliet which whose deaths end the rivalry and hostility between them.



Prompt B: Theme

Love is a sacrifice, without sacrifice, there is no love.

I chose this image to represent all of Act 5 scene 3 since it shows that looks can be deceiving. I know Romeo bought the poison before he even got to see Juliet in the tomb. But the again, if the poison had been taken awhile before the time she did, Romeo wouldn't have ended up dead and neither could have Paris. The looks of Juliet laying dead, appears true, but no one else knows it's fake poison exept for the Friar.
