Read from the start of the scene until ‘They all, but the Nurse and the Musicians, go forth, casting rosemary on her, and shutting the curtains’.
•Readers: Stage Directions, Nurse, Lady Capulet, Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence, Paris
Consider how Juliet is presented as a powerful character when:
•The characters within the scene express their grief about her ‘death’
EXT: Is there any evidence of her being a feminist role model?
Things to think about:
•Remember: Juliet isn’t in this scene directly, so you should be aiming to comment on the power she carries in her ‘death’ (and its subsequent impact on others).
•The repetition of ‘dead’ changes the mood of the scene to shock and sorrow (line 23-24).
•Capulet echoes the image of death as Juliet’s bridegroom (lines 36-38).
•Lady Capulet is distressed which contrasts the earlier instances in which she rejects Juliet (lines 44-45).
•Capulet’s poetic language emphasises his sadness and demonstrates the dignified side of his character (lines 84-90).
The impacts of Juliet's death
•Keeping in mind the points we have just discussed, make a list of the different ways in which you could describe how Juliet is presented – how do the characters perceive her now in ‘death’?:
•For example, ‘precious’.
Extension: How do characters respond to her “death”? What does this tell us about how she is valued?
Challenge: Do you think these responses are genuine? Why?
