1 From The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet Act IV, Scene 3 Literary Focus: Soliloquy A soliloquy (suh LIHL uh kwee) is a long speech by a character alone on the stage. In this speech the character tells about his or her thoughts and feelings out loud. The soliloquy gives the audience a chance to hear what the character is thinking. Modern plays seldom use soliloquies, but you can find some of Shakespeare s most beautiful poetry, as well as some of his most famous lines, in his soliloquies. Reading Skill: Making Inferences Reading well takes lots of brain power. This is because writers don t state directly everything you need to understand the text. You have to figure out the meaning by making inferences, or educated guesses, based on information in the text and on your own experiences. Into the Play Shakespeare wrote his plays more than 400 years ago, yet they are still popular today. In fact, almost thirty movies released between 2000 and 2002 list William Shakespeare as the writer. What is the secret of Shakespeare s timeless appeal? First, the plays deal with powerful human emotions such as love, revenge, loyalty, and betrayal. Second, the plays action can be set almost anywhere. Modern New York City, 1930s Italy, ancient Japan all these have been used as settings for Shakespeare s works. Pretend you are a director. Where and when would you set Romeo and Juliet? 178 HOLT ADAPTED READER Copyright by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved.

3 Act IV, Scene 3 VOCABULARY I think I recognize the word attire in line 1. I read a wedding invitation once that said formal attire. I think in this line attires means clothes or dresses. YOU NEED TO KNOW Juliet pretends to obey her father and says that she will now marry Paris. Actually, she plans to drink a potion given to her by Friar Laurence the night before the wedding. The potion will make her appear dead. Then she will be taken to the family tomb, where Romeo will meet her when she awakes. Her nurse, unaware of this plan, is helping Juliet prepare for her wedding to Paris in the morning. MAKING INFERENCES I wonder what sins Juliet has committed. I guess she considers marrying Romeo without her family s permission a sin of disobedience. And now she is supposed to marry a second man, which is a sin. It s also illegal. Today she could end up in jail! MAKING INFERENCES Juliet has another reason than the one she gives in lines for asking that the nurse, who usually sleeps in her room, stay with her mother this night. What is it? (If you don t know, re-read You Need to Know at the top of the page.) 5 10 Scene 3. Juliet s chamber. Enter JULIET and NURSE. Juliet. Ay, those attires are best; but, gentle nurse, I pray thee leave me to myself tonight; For I have need of many orisons 1 To move the heavens to smile upon my state, Which, well thou knowest, is cross and full of sin. [Enter LADY CAPULET.] Lady Capulet. What, are you busy, ho? Need you my help? Juliet. No, madam; we have culled 2 such necessaries As are behoveful 3 for our state 4 tomorrow. So please you, let me now be left alone, And let the nurse this night sit up with you; For I am sure you have your hands full all In this so sudden business. Lady Capulet. Good night. Get thee to bed, and rest; for thou hast need. [Exeunt LADY CAPULET and NURSE.] 1. orisons: prayers. 2. culled: picked out. 3. behoveful: suitable. 4. state: ceremonies. 180 HOLT ADAPTED READER Copyright by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

4 15 20 Juliet. Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again. I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins That almost freezes up the heat of life. I ll call them back again to comfort me. Nurse! What should she do here? My dismal scene I needs must act alone. Come, vial. 5 What if this mixture do not work at all? Shall I be married then tomorrow morning? No, no! This shall forbid it. Lie thou there. [Lays down a dagger.] MAKING INFERENCES What is Juliet talking about in line 23? You ll find the answer in the stage direction below the line. Write what she means in your own words on the lines below. IN OTHER WORDS Tomorrow is the wedding. Juliet asks her mother and nurse to leave her alone for the evening, so she can pray. Alone, Juliet faces her fears. What if the potion doesn t work? Will she have to marry Paris in the morning? No she has a dagger ready and would stab herself first What if it be a poison which the friar Subtly hath ministered 6 to have me dead, Lest 7 in this marriage he should be dishonored Because he married me before to Romeo? I fear it is; and yet methinks it should not, For he hath still been tried 8 a holy man. How if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo Come to redeem me? There s a fearful point! Shall I not then be stifled 9 in the vault, To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in, And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes? Or, if I live, is it not very like The horrible conceit 10 of death and night, SOLILOQUY In this soliloquy Juliet expresses two main fears about the potion she is going to take. The first one is that it won t work. Circle the words in lines that describe the second fear. SOLILOQUY Lines show Juliet s fear of what she s about to do. There are so many things that could go wrong! I can identify with her I would be terrified to wake up by myself in a tomb. 5. vial: small bottle that holds liquid. 6. ministered: provided. 7. Lest: for fear that. 8. still been tried: always been proved. 9. stifled: suffocated. 10. conceit: idea. Copyright by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. THE TRAGEDY OF ROMEO AND JULIET, ACT IV, SCENE 3 181

5 SOLILOQUY In lines Juliet jumps from thought to thought without resolving any of them. What does this suggest about her state of mind? VOCABULARY The word spit can mean either eject saliva from one s mouth or spear. Which meaning is correct in line 56? Together with the terror of the place As in a vault, an ancient receptacle 11 Where for this many hundred years the bones Of all my buried ancestors are packed; Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth, 12 Lies fest ring 13 in his shroud; where, as they say, At some hours in the night spirits resort Alack, alack, is it not like that I, So early waking what with loathsome smells, And shrieks like mandrakes 14 torn out of the earth, That living mortals, hearing them, run mad I, if I wake, shall I not be distraught, Environèd 15 with all these hideous fears, And madly play with my forefathers joints, And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud, And, in this rage, with some great kinsman s bone As with a club dash out my desp rate brains? O, look! Methinks I see my cousin s ghost Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body Upon a rapier s 16 point. Stay, Tybalt, stay! Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, I drink to thee. [She falls upon her bed within the curtains.] MAKING INFERENCES This scene is so sad. I know Juliet doesn t die now and that she dies at the end of the play in a tomb. So maybe her fears about the poison are misplaced, but she certainly has good reasons to be afraid! IN OTHER WORDS Juliet s fears continue. What if Friar Laurence has given her poison so that no one will discover he married her to Romeo in secret? What if she suffocates in the tomb before Romeo arrives? Or, what if she awakens next to Tybalt s corpse and her ancestors bones and the terror drives her insane? What if her cousin s ghost wants revenge on Romeo? At last, she drinks the potion and falls unconscious. 11. receptacle: container. 12. green in earth: newly buried. 13. fest ring: decaying. 14. mandrakes: plants resembling the human body that were said to scream when pulled up. 15. Environèd: surrounded. 16. rapier s: sword s. 182 HOLT ADAPTED READER Copyright by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved.
