thy will be done
in earth as it is in heaven.

a. Scene 4.2. Discuss the ways Juliet develops her powers of deceit in these scenes. Is her behavior believable? Are her parents too easily fooled?3. This week (and last), you received some papers back, graded. Choose one of the papers and correct the mistakes and/or rewrite parts and post it on your blog.
b. What five fears does Juliet express in her long soliloquy? If you were Juliet, which of the five would you find most worrying and why?
3. Write short answers to the following questions. Turn these in on Monday.Act 3.5.37-end of scene:
In this scene Juliet’s parents insist that she must marry Paris. What are the pressures Juliet is under and how does she react to them in this scene?Before you begin to write you should think about:
(a) Juliet’s worries and feelings as she speaks to her mother.
(b) The confrontation between Juliet and her father.
(c) The Nurse’s advice, and Juliet’s reaction.
(d) the increasing pressure Juliet feels by the end of the scene.
(e) How your knowledge of Juliet’s true situation makes you feel sympathetic at the beginning of the scene—and how her language makes you feel increasingly sympathetic.
a. In Scene 3.5, how does Juliet trick her mother? She is clearly saying one thing and meaning another. What is she really saying?
b. What does this arrange marriage suggest to you about male-female relationships in Verona at that time?
c. As Capulet speaks, the tone and style of his language changes. He begins (lines 126-138) confidently offering fatherly comfort to Juliet. Trace how his language changes, and see how, in his second speech (lines 141-5), he talks of her in the third person (she, her). What do you think is the effect of this change?
d. Read lines 3.5.204-242. What do you think of the Nurse’s advice? Do you think the Nurse recognizes Juliet’s irony or sarcasm when she says “Amen” and “Well, thou hast comforted me marvelous much”? In what way(s) does the Nurse’s advice add to your knowledge of her character?
e. How has your understanding of Juliet grown in this scene?

I thought your papers rocked. Anyway, they were far superior to anything written for the Bulwer-Lytton Ficton Contest."It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness." --Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Paul Clifford (1830)
