All Correct/100% Scores.
Scene One.
1. Why does Friar Lawrence seem so uneasy about Paris's request? How is

already
married to Romeo; this is dramatic irony because the audience knows Friar

wanting to marry Paris.
2. How does Paris explain the haste? Correct ans - He says Capulet is
afraid Juliet will get too depressed over Tybalt's death.
3. How does Juliet insult Paris without him knowing? What does this reveal
about Juliet? Correct ans - She cunningly avoids responding to him
directly. She says she loves Friar Lawrence, when Paris prompts her to tell

ans - Paris will wake Juliet up on Thursday for their wedding.

Correct ans - She threatens to kill herself.

he gives her.
7. describe what will happen to Juliet if she drinks the potion. How long will
she stay asleep? Correct ans - She will appear as if dead in all aspects
—she will have no pulse, no warmth, no breath. Her skin will turn ashy and

Paris, then take the potion on Wednesday night. She will appear dead for 42
