In Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 3, what does the following quote mean?
450872
The nurse says that her husband picked up Juliet after she fell on her face, and said, "When you're smarter you'll fall on your back (Have sex)."

Don't know who said it recently but it's a quote from Shakespeare\n\n"Cry HAVOC' and let slip the dogs of war!" - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act III

1. At the end of which Act...? Act III? Romeo of course does not wish to leave Verona, but he must in order to survive. Both are miserably unhappy. As Juliet learns she must be wed to Paris, she becomes angry and rebels against her father. In the end, she feels like everyone has turned on her--even the Nurse. She goes to seek help from the only person she trusts--Friar Lawrence. Not sure that this answers your question, though.\n\n2. Romeo feels responsible for Mercutio's death because Mercutio was stabbed under his arm (Act III, Scene i). He was trying to prevent Mercutio and Tybalt from fighting, as he has recently married Juliet (Tybalt's cousin). His guilt and rage over this accident lead him to attack and kill Tybalt, which ultimately leads to his banishment from Verona.\n\n3. Shakespeare uses the images of darkness and light quite frequently. When Romeo first meets Juliet, he compares her to a star in the sky or a jewel in the ear of an African (Act I, Scene v). He also compares her to a dove amidst crows. Later, on the balcony, he compares her to the sun (Act II, Scene ii). Juliet hopes that when Romeo dies, he will become the stars in the sky, so that "all the world will fall in love with night." (not sure of the exact spot but I think it's Act III, Scene ii).

There was a survey done on this and the results were as follows:\n\n\nShakespeare quotes are full of passion and wisdom, sometimes with a shade of sarcasm. The passion in Shakespeare quotes never fails to move the reader. What's more, these quotes remain relevant today as they reflect the values and beliefs of our society. Here is a top 10 list of Shakespeare quotes that will leave you yearning for more. \n\n1) Hamlet, III:1\nTo be, or not to be: that is the question.\n\n2) All's Well That Ends Well, I:2\nLove all, trust a few, do wrong to none.\n\n3) From Romeo and Juliet, II:2\nGood night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow.\n\n4) Twelfth Night, II:5\nBe not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.\n\n5) Merchant of Venice, III:1\nIf you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? \n\n6) Hamlet, I:5\nThere are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.\n\n7) MacBeth, I:3\nIf you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me.\n\n8) Twelfth Night, III:1\nLove sought is good, but given unsought is better.\n\n9) Antony & Cleopatra, III:4\nIf I lose mine honour, I lose myself.\n\n\n10) Midsummer Night's Dream, V:1\nIt's not enough to speak, but to speak true.\n\n\nHowever, my personal favourite remains this from "Romeo and Juliet"\n\nAct II \nScene II\n \nJuliet:                       ‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy:\n\n                                Though art thyself, though not a Montague.\n\n                                Nor arm nor face nor any other part\n\n                                Belonging to a man. O be some other name.\n\n                                What’s in a name? That which we call a rose\n\n                                      By any other word would smell as sweet;\n\n                                So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,\n\n                                Retain that dear perfection which he owes\n\n                                Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,\n\n                                And for thy name, which is no part of thee,\n\n                                Take all myself.

People, please!\n\n"Wherefore" does not refer to "Where". We all know where Romeo is--under the balcony, sweet-talking Juliette.\n\nWherefore means why. Juliette is asking, Why do you have to be Romeo, part of the family that's fighting with mine? Why couldn't you have been just some random dude from some other family? Why did I have to go and fall for the guy that is going to cause me the most problems?

Romeo And Juliet by William Shakespeare\n\nhttp://www.elook.org/literature/shakespeare/romeo-and-juliet/\n\nI have found 12 summaries for you to look at, click the link below. I have included a short extract to give you a taste of what the reviews have to offer and they’re FREE..!!!\n\nNotes:  Act 1 Scene 2.\n\nIn this brief scene, the audience learns more about Juliet, the heroine of the play who has not yet been introduced on the stage. She is young girl of fourteen and obviously Capulet's pride and joy. The father says of Juliet that "the earth has swallowed all hopes but she." When Paris asks Capulet for her hand in marriage, he hesitates at first; then he says that he will agree if the idea pleases Juliet. In the thirteenth century, when noble marriages were usually arranged by the family, it is a loving father who wants to please his child. His concern for Juliet is similar to the concern for Romeo revealed by Lady Montague in the first scene. Even though these families hate one another, they dearly love their children.

I suspect it's supposed to be something like "Quod quondam iterum ego vado, in profundis vorago existimo iaci" which means something like "Whichever path I travel (in the past, in the future, sometimes), I judge myself to be thrown into a profound pit."\n\nIt didn't make much sense to me in the first version…I suspect it's a bad computer translation.

Please don't take those responses of "sex before marriage" and illicit love as the breach of innocence in R & J.  The love of Romeo and Juliet is in itself representative of innocence.  The breach comes with the societal folly surrounding them.  It is through that imposition that they seek to consummate their love in a clandestine way, and that may indicate a breach of innocence, but the essence of their romance keeps its integrity.  The death of the two lovers is evidence that the innocnce is not broken; for both Romeo and Juliet would rather take on death than destroy what they have together.

1. Conflict shown between Montagues and Capulets.  The Price of Padua bans all fighting.  Romeo crashes a Capulet party, sees Juliet, and forgets all about some other woman he was in love with before.  Later he climbs up on Juliet's balcony and finds out she loves him back.  They kiss.\n\n2. Romeo and Juliet decide to get married and find a willing priest to marry them.  Romeo and Tybalt (Juliet's brother) get into an argument and Mercutio (Romeo's friend) gets in the way.  Tybalt kills Mercutio and Romeo kills Tybalt.  Juliet hears of this news and is upset.  Romeo is banished by the Prince and must flee Padua.\n\n3.  In order to flee Padua to be with Romeo (now her husband) Juliet takes poison to feign death.  Juliet's nurse is supposed to tell Romeo but she is harassed by Romeo's friends, gets angry, and doesn't give anyone the message.  Romeo thinks Juliet is really dead, visits her crypt, takes some poison, and drinks.  He dies.  Juliet wakes up, sees Romeo dead, takes his dagger, and kills herself.  Everyone else find them lying together and is very sorry.\n\nUpdate:  Both the Montagues and the Capulets are rival noble families in Padua (Italy).  They are not of different social classes, they're just mad at each other.

I'm not sure if you mean scene four, but when the the Nurse is going to tell Romeo to meet Juliet later, the three characters are in a rowdy and "manly" mood, which they express by joking about women and sex.  This becomes embarrassing for the Nurse, who becomes part of their jokes.

Dynamic = artistically dramatic? Artistically dramatic in Shakespeare's plays usually means "conflict between two good choices". When one good comes into conflict with another good, this kind of conflict is (artistically) tragic because no matter what the eventual choice is, good will suffer. There can never be one right answer when good conflicts with good. What are the two 'goods' that come into conflict in Juliet? (1) It is good that she falls in love spontaneously with Romeo when she does not know who he is. Spontaneous (or romantic) love is always a great good in art and poetry. (2) This good comes into conflict with her sense of loyalty to her family when she learns Romeo is a Montague, the enemy of her family. Being loyal to her family is good in the play since Shakespeare never tells us what the original quarrel was that caused the feud. Hence, we cannot assume one is wrong and the other is right. \nIf this helps, please use you own words for your paper. Using my words will constitute cheating.

http://www.shakespeare-online.com\nhttp://members.aol.com/liadona2/shakespeare.html?f=fs\n\n\nThere are many factors causing the tragedy in Romeo and Juliet. The following areas may help you:\n\n    * The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets – we learn that this is an "ancient grudge". Tybalt acts because he says that "the honour of my kin" has been insulted. Romeo acts on the death of Mercutio according to the traditional revenge code.\n    * Romeo and Juliet’s love for one another – their passion means that they are only prepared to meet in death. Some argue that their youth makes them foolish and hasty in their actions.\n    * Does fate play a part? There are many references to the stars and fate in the play.\n    * Secrecy – the friar marries the pair in secret leading to dire consequences.\n    * Family will – Capulet wants Juliet to marry Paris "or else". He says:\n\n        …go with Paris to Saint Peter’s church\n        Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither\n\n \n\nIt is not possible to give one character responsibility for the tragedy alone.\n\nthis link will be useful... has a lot of points \nhttp://search.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/search/results.pl?q=romeo+and+juliet&x=35&y=8&scope=ksenglish\n\nit depends on what your teacher wants ultimately... \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Classroom/3085/romandjul.html\nanother nice page that might be useful :)\ngood luck with your power point presentation :) cheers :)

Which speech? Try Act 1 Scene 3. \nhttp://www.onlineshakespeare.com/merchant.html#xref004\n\nStarts:\nSHYLOCK I am debating of my present store,\nAnd, by the near guess of my memory,\nI cannot instantly raise up the gross\nOf full three thousand ducats. What of that?\nTubal, a wealthy Hebrew of my tribe,\nWill furnish me. But soft! how many months\nDo you desire?\n[To ANTONIO]\nRest you fair, good signior;\nYour worship was the last man in our mouths.

I can't really say because we read it in play form in my English class and I played Tybalt so I kinda feel like I shouldn't dis him.\n\nI don't have the play right in front of me but I think he's arranged for them to get married but this will later become Wednesday after Juliet apologizes to Capulet for being so against him; he thought it was because of Tybalt's death but it was because Romeo was banished for killing Tybalt.\n\nHe describes her as still beautiful even though she may be dead (which she isn't). He says something about the color of roses not being gone from her lips or something like that.\n\nThe agony Romeo and Juliet's death caused their families was tremendous and showed their families that fighting was not the answer to things. The loss of one's only child is not worth the dumb excuse of fighting between families.\n\nShakespeare never gave anyone birthdates in the play since it didn't really matter, but we can estimate that Romeo was about 17 or 18 from accounts of historians who examined the play with great care.

It's a while since I read Romeo and Juliet. If you would like to explain what happens in Act 2 Scene 2 then I might be able to help...

It depends on the topic of your essay. I'd start with an appropriate quotation from the play. Example:\n\n"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" Everyone has heard this famous quote from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, but most people misunderstand the quote. While many people think Juliet is asking where Romeo is, she actually is asking why he must be Romeo (a Montague and, therefore, her family's enemy). This line draws attention to a central theme in the play--love is stronger than a tradition of hatred.
