Summary Act 1 Scene 3

Sunday Afternoon : Capulet’s house. Enter Capulet’s Wife and Nurse

Lady Capulet asks the nurse to call her Juliet for her. The nurse is a bit batty, and she started getting nervous when she didn’t know where Juliet was. Juliet entered the scene and the nurse was relived. Lady Capulet and the nurse start talking about Juliet and how old she is. The nurse and Juliet’s mother disagree with each other about her age, to show that the nurse really knows her true age she starts talking about all her life with Juliet and how she stopped drinking her breast milk at the age of 3. The nurse keeps on going on of all loads of reasons of how she knows Juliet is 14. Juliet’s mother stops as she feels as she has heard too much. Then the nurse mentions something about marriage and Juliet’s mum tells them both that that’s exactly what she wants to talk about. Lady Capulet asked Juliet how she felt about getting married. Juliet responds “it is an honour that I dream not of.” Lady Capulet talks about how handsome Paris is, she tells Juliet that tonight will be a chance for her to see him.

The Prologue HW

The Prologue

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents’ strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love,
And the continuance of their parents’ rage,
Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

 

Translation

In the beautiful city of Verona, where our story takes place.A long-standing hatred between two families turns into violence, and citizens stain their hands with the blood of their fellow citizens. Two  children of these enemy families fall in love with each other and end up killing themselves. Their unfortunate deaths put an end to their parents feud. For the next two hours, we will watch the story of their doomed love and their parents anger, which nothing but the children’s deaths could stop. If you listen to us patiently, we’ll make up for everything we’ve left out in this prologue onstage.
