Act 2 Scene 6 analysis,
Original Script:
Enter Friar Lawrence and Romeo.
FRI. L.
So smile the heavens upon this holy act,
That after-hours with sorrow chide us not!
ROM.
Amen, amen! But come what sorrow can,
It cannot countervail the exchange of joy
That one short minute gives me in her sight.
Do thou but close our hands with holy words,
Then love-devouring death do what he dare,
It is enough I may but call her mine.
FRI. L.
These violent delights have violent ends,
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness,
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately: long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
Enter Juliet.
Here comes the lady. O, so light a foot
Will ne’er wear out the everlasting flint;
A lover may bestride the gossamers
That idles in the wanton summer air,
And yet not fall; so light is vanity.
JUL.
Good even to my ghostly confessor.
FRI. L.
Romeo shall thank thee, daughter, for us both.
JUL.
As much to him, else is his thanks too much.
ROM.
Ah, Juliet, if the measure of thy joy
Be heap’d like mine, and that thy skill be more
To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath
This neighbor air, and let rich music’s tongue
Unfold the imagin’d happiness that both
Receive in either by this dear encounter.
JUL.
Conceit, more rich in matter than in words,
Brags of his substance, not of ornament;
They are but beggars that can count their worth,
But my true love is grown to such excess
I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.
FRI. L.
Come, come with me, and we will make short work,
For by your leaves, you shall not stay alone
Till Holy Church incorporate two in one.
Exeunt
Analysis:
Friar speaks:These lines mean that may God protect our marriage and that nothing happens later on (They are hoping of faith).
Romeo speaks: Romeo says that you cannot ruin love and as long as he has Juliet, holding hands will make holy words protecting them.Romeo is trying to say is that their love was faith and God would not want for this love to end.
Friar speaks: He says that take your love at a moderate rate because it could end in all of a sudden.Also you must not take your life for love.This suggest that Friar was kind of telling the future or just helping out Romeo that he can’t do everything for his love.
Juliet speaks: Hi my evening confessor meaning my helper or choice decider.
Friar speaks: Romeo will thank you my girl.
Juliet speaks: I will give him the equal thanks so we are the same.
Romeo speaks: Juliet if you are as happy as you say please tell me about the happiness we will have in our marriage.
Juliet speaks : I can imagine more than words and that love has given twice the wealth and I could not count half of it because it is two much.
Friar speaks: Hurry up and marry because I am not leaving you alone until your marry.

Quote:BENVOLIO
Here were the servants of your adversary,
And yours, close fighting ere I did approach.
I drew to part them. In the instant came
The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,
Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,u
He swung about his head and cut the winds,
Who, nothing hurt withal, hissed him in scorn.
While we were interchanging thrusts and blows,
Came more and more and fought on part and part,
Till the Prince came, who parted either part.

Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend” This means only with the death of them lover s from each family shall the family be one again.

Hold, there is forty ducats. Let me have
A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear
As will disperse itself through all the veins
That the life-weary taker may fall dead,
And that the trunk may be discharged of breath
As violently as hasty powder fired
Doth hurry from the fatal cannon’s womb.
Act 4 scene 3-5 quotation + explanation
Act 4 scene 3 Quotation:JULIET
Farewell!—God knows when we shall meet again.
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins
That almost freezes up the heat of life.
I’ll call them back again to comfort me.—
Nurse!—What should she do here?
Translation:JULIET
Good-bye. Only God knows when we’ll meet again. There is a slight cold fear cutting through my veins. It almost freezes the heat of life. I’ll call them back here to comfort me. Nurse!—Oh, what good would she do here?
In my desperate situation, I have to act alone.
Explanation:
This quote sums the scene because the scene is about Juliet drinking the vial and this small quote says that ” I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins” It tells me that there is a cold feeling in her veins; so when there is a cold feeling in someon it is because they are feeling ill,it kind of gives a hint to the nurse that she is not feeling well but, wha she actually means is that I will die soon.
Act 4 scene 4
Quotation:Go waken Juliet. Go and trim her up.
I’ll go and chat with Paris. Hie, make haste,
Make haste. The bridegroom he is come already.
Make haste, I say.
Translation:
Go wake Juliet. Go and get her dressed. I’ll go and chat with Paris. Hey, hurry up, hurry up! The bridegroom is already here. Hurry up, I say.
Explanation:
This sums the scene because the scene is about late preparation for the wedding and this quote says get the bride ready while I go talk to groom.
Act 4 scene 5
Quotation:
CAPULET
Ha? Let me see her. Out, alas! She’s cold.
Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff.
Life and these lips have long been separated.
Death lies on her like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.
Translation:
CAPULET
No! Let me see her. Oh no! She’s cold. Her blood has stopped, and her joints are stiff. She’s been dead for some time. She’s dead, like a beautiful flower, killed by an unseasonable frost.
Explanation:
This quote sums the scene because this scene is about his family finding out she is dead and clearly it shows that Capulet finds out that her daughter is dead by saying her joints are stiff and she is cold.

Quotation:
FRIAR LAWRENCE
Hold, then. Go home, be merry. Give consent
To marry Paris. Wednesday is tomorrow.
Tomorrow night look that thou lie alone.
Let not the Nurse lie with thee in thy chamber.
(shows her a vial)
Take thou this vial, being then in bed,
And this distillèd liquor drink thou off,
When presently through all thy veins shall run
A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse
Shall keep his native progress, but surcease.
No warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest.
The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade
To paly ashes, thy eyes’ windows fall
Like death when he shuts up the day of life.
Each part, deprived of supple government,
Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death.
And in this borrowed likeness of shrunk death
Thou shalt continue two and forty hours,
And then awake as from a pleasant sleep.
Now, when the bridegroom in the morning comes
To rouse thee from thy bed, there art thou dead.
Then, as the manner of our country is,
In thy best robes uncovered on the bier
Thou shalt be borne to that same ancient vault
Where all the kindred of the Capulets lie.
In the meantime, against thou shalt awake,
Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift,
And hither shall he come, and he and I
Will watch thy waking, and that very night
Shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua.
And this shall free thee from this present shame,
If no inconstant toy, nor womanish fear,
Abate thy valor in the acting it.
