Acts 2 Scene 5 Reading Notes: The News Of The Marriage

Prompt A: Summary

Juliet is waiting in her garden as she awaits for the Nurse to come back to the gates with the news of Romeo. When the Nurse does return, she is exhausted and stalling for time to catch her breath. However, Juliet, being the impatient girl she is, gets angered by the Nurse about how she is stalling.
The Nurse makes Juliet feel bad for sending her to fetch the information about Romeo.
After all the commotion, Juliet finally gets the information from the Nurse to go over to Friar Lawrence's Cell to get married by Romeo. Juliet is finally happy and immediately heads over to the gates.

Prompt C: Questions

1.) Juliet, why is it that you are so eager to know about the information about Romeo?
2.) Nurse, why do you think you have the power to approve the fact that Romeo and Juliet are getting married?
3.) The Nurse, if the Capulet's know about this decision, you could get exiled. Why are you risking your life for two people to get married?
4.) Juliet, it's only been 3 scenes and you are already marrying someone you met in scene 1. What is your view on rushing marriage?
5.) The Nurse, in this scene, you tend to bring up random questions. What is your behind asking questions at random moments such as "Where is your mother?"


Prompt G: Character Imitation of Juliet
Dear Thou Diary,      April 21st, 1467

Where is the Nurse? Does it take that long for her to come back from finding information about Romeo? All I want is for her to show up with the information from my love...
UPDATE: The Nurse did finally show up! Romeo has asked me to marry him oh! This is the happiest day of my life. Will we have kids though? There is so many stuff to plan! I think we should have about 2 kids. I feel like I am rushing everything however. To marry someone I just met... I guess it's called Love at First Sight! I am thankful I am not marrying that Prince! How could my Father think that he could just pair me up with someone he thinks I love? I am in control of my own body and I get to make the decision of who I want to marry.

Sincerely,

Juliet
