Juliet's Soliloquy Comments

FIVE: In the later balcony scene, Shakespeare has Romeo overhear Juliet's soliloquy, but in Arthur Brooke's version of the story, her declaration is done alone...

FOUR: more than any other Shakespearean character, especially for his famous soliloquy which begins 'To be or not to be; that is the question'. .

THREE: in 1562 and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1567. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but expanded the plot by developing a number of supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris. And the result is Julliette's Soliloquy

TWO: The plot is based on an Italian tale written by Matteo Bandello and translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke

ONE: Let's know how it was: Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity.

Juliet's Soliloquy its a grievance and tone of repentance //// great and master of poetic expression

Eternally beautiful love story. HeartwreSoliloquy filled with varied emotions of a girl madly in love.

A masterpiece composed by a master craftsman. The dimensions of thoughts in the soliloquy and their intricacies have been sketched in a superb manner.

Nicee

from 'Romeo and Juliet' - Act 4, Scene 3 Juliet is in her room. She is determined to be with Romeo, who has been banished for having, out of anger, accidentally killed her cousin, Tybalt. She wants to be with Romeo, yet she has doubts as to whether the potion will do (as Friar Lawrence has told her it will) or if she will truly die [ the potion would give her only the appearance of death ]. Juliet is very young, maybe 14 - maybe even younger.. Her nurse, to whom she is very close, nursed her and raised her from infancy (likely) and has always been her only confidante. So Juliet is remorseful of the fact that she can't even have that comfort when she makes this decision.

Romeo and Juliet have married in secret, and in the meantime, her parents have promised her to Paris. It is the eve of her wedding: the next day, if the potion doesn't work, she will have to marry a man she abhors. She ponders the wisdom of Friar Lawrence, but consoles herself with the fact that he is a holy man, he was the one who presided over and sanctioned her marriage to Romeo, and therefore would do nothing which would actually harm her. She then fears waking up in the tomb before Romeo can find her. She wonders if she will be suffocated in the place, surrounded by death and putrid air before Romeo can come to take her away. She thinks it unlikely she will live through that, but even if she does, won't the experience of being virtually buried alive cause her so much distress that she will surely go insane? Essentially, Juliet is weighing the options available to her. She is young, she's in love, she is alone. She chooses to drink the potion with the words, Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee.

Beautiful sad and full of emotions a truly talented play write. He had a of expressing the human feelings with every stroke of his pen.

This was never intended by Shakespeare to be a poem by itself. It is a small part of a MUCH larger work, but is beautiful nevertheless.

WAO!You stoned me williams......I want it! This was the sad solioquy made by juliet when she was falsely alarmed that romeo is dead. Thanks brother williams
