Analysis Of The Hungarian Dance By Johannes Brahms
In our scene, Maggie plays Juliet, Emily plays Friar Lawrence, and Hannah plays Paris. The song we chose to play is the Hungarian Dance by Johannes Brahms. We chose this song because it has a worried and intense sound to it. In this scene Juliet is frantic and needs Friar’s help quickly. She doesn’t care how he helps; her, she just doesn’t want to marry Paris. However, her father and Paris are rushing into the marriage. When Juliet is on her way to Friar Lawrence’s cell, she runs into Paris and the Fiar, who are talking about Paris and Juliet getting married. After an intense talk with the Friar, he gives her a potion that will make her look like she’s dead for forty-two hours. If everything goes as planned her parents will think she’s dead

    He kneels down beside her, talks to her, and tells her that he is going to kill himself because he wishes to always be with her. If Romeo and been thinking straight he would have noticed and then realized she was actually alive. He says “Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty. Thou art not conquered. Beauty’s ensign yet Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks, And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.” (5.3.100-105). Then he goes on to say “Why art thou yet so fair? Shall I believe That unsubstantial death is amorous, And that the lean abhorred monster keeps Thee here in dark to be his paramour?” (5.3.112-114). He obviously notices that something is off about her looking so not dead. But he isn’t thinking so of course he doesn’t realize that she is still alive. So he drinks a bottle of poison and slides to ground dead. Minutes later Juliet wakes up. She sees Romeo’s corpse and bursts into tears. Instead of fleeing with Friar Lawrence she chooses to kill herself because she cannot live without him. There is no poison left in the bottle or enough left on his lips, so she takes Romeo’s knife and stabs herself through the…

    Romeo and Juliet are husband and wife. I married them in secret, and that same day was Tybalt killed and Romeo banished. Juliet pined for her bridegroom and not for Tybalt. You (Capulet) while trying to make her happier promised her to Paris and would have ordered her to marry him. Then she came to me asking that I devise a plan to prevent her second marriage, or she would have killed herself right there in my cell. So I gave her a sleeping potion, which was intended to make her appear dead. Meanwhile, I wrote a letter to Romeo telling him to come here to take Juliet from her borrowed grave when the potion wore off. But Friar John, who was sent to deliver the message, was detained and brought the letter back to me. So I came alone at the time when Juliet was to wake up to take her from the vault and hide her in my cell until I could send another message to Romeo. When I got here, just a few minutes before Juliet should awaken, I found both Paris and Romeo dead. Juliet woke up, and I tried to get her to leave. I heard some noise and was scared away, but Juliet would not come with me. It seems that she stabbed herself. This is the whole story, and Juliet's Nurse also knew of the marriage. If this is all my fault let me be sacrificed to the full extent of the…

    After the Friar found out that both Romeo and Paris had died. He went to check on Juliet who was depressed because of the sight she was seeing. The Friar tried to persuade Juliet into coming with him to the sisterhood of holy nuns. Instead he ran away because someone was coming near Juliet’s tomb, to which caused the death of Juliet: “Come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead, And paris too. Come, I’ll dispose of thee, Among a sisterhood of holy. Stay not to question, for the watch is coming. Come, go, good Juliet, I dare no longer stay.” ( 5.3 166 - 171 ) and “ go, get out of here, I’m not going anywhere, ( Exit Friar Lawrence ).” ( 5.3 172 ) The quotes that were added were involved in the topic, because it shows that the Friar was too afraid and ran off without knowing the choices that he had just made. It also shows that the Friar made the error of leaving Juliet alone with Romeo’s dagger in her tomb: “O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die. (stabs herself with ROMEO’s dagger and dies)” ( 5.3 182 - 184 ) as well as being too eager to leave. If he just use brute force or give her that charm then maybe she would have went with him and that the death of another child would have not…

In order to keep Romeo aware of this plan, Friar Laurence gives a letter explaining the effects and purpose of the sleeping potion to Friar John which he is to deliver to Romeo.

    Mercutio, a friend of Romeo, dissents his request and challenges him instead. This altercation led to the death of Mercutio, which led to Romeo’s desire for vengeance. Tybalt reaches his demise as Romeo stabs him with his sword. Romeo flees to Friar Laurence’s cell and receives the news that he is exorcised from Verona. Tybalt’s death causes Lord Capulet to move Paris and Juliet’s wedding on Thursday. Helpless, Juliet consults Friar Laurence for advice about postponing the wedding. Friar Laurence fabricates a plan to get Juliet away from Paris. “If, rather than to marry County Paris,/ Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself/ Then is it likely thou wilt undertake/ A thing like death to chide away this shame…” (IV.i.71-74) This is another mistake because he should have thought of an easier solution: one that doesn't require Juliet to fake her death, as it is a spurious plan. After informing Juliet with the plan, he proceeds by giving her a potion to mimic the effects of death. “Take thou this vial, being then in bed,/ And this distilling liquor drink thou off…” (IV.i.93-94) He also says he will get another friar to deliver the information about the plan, in the form of a letter, to Romeo. “I’ll send a friar with speed/To Mantua with my letters to thy lord.” (IV.i.123-124) Friar Laurence’s omission to deliver the letter himself was another…

    She had trusted the Friar to help her save her marriage with Romeo and make sure she doesn’t end up marrying Paris. To ensure Juliet from not marrying Paris and to stay united with Romeo, Friar Lawrence had come up with a plan. His plan for Juliet was to “Go home...give consent to marry Paris… take thou this veil, being then in bed, and this distilling liquor drink thou off… I will watch thy waking and that very night shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua” (p.750). Friar Lawrence had ensured that there wouldn't be any flaws to this plan. But what had happened was that Romeo didn’t get the letter and came to Juliet’s tomb and had killed himself. After waking up from her coma-like state, Juliet had seen her husband lying dead on the ground. She decided that “[she] will not away...haply some poison yet doth hang on them to make me die with a restorative.... The I’ll be brief. O happy dagger!” (p. 769-770). Juliet had killed herself because she thought that a world without Romeo was equivalent to no world at all. Without Friar Lawrence’s carelessness and ignorance in the plan, Romeo wouldn’t have killed himself and neither would Juliet. He was the cause of their deaths because of the failures in his plans.…

    She worries that the Friar has given her a real poison because he feels dishonoured that he married her to Romeo in secret and does not want anybody to find out. By going through her thoughts about the future, she allows the audience to bond with her and feel compassionate for her because of the immense pressure she is under. The self reflection she displays reveals her thoughts and has the audience guessing wether the Friar really is evil and what actually does happen in the end. However, Juliet rules out this scenario as impossible as she trusts the friar to be kind-hearted person as he has helped them all along and she claims "He ( the friar) hath still been tried a holy man."…

    In the play, Romeo and Juliet are very young and constantly seek advice and guidance of people older and supposedly wiser than them, like Friar Lawrence and the Nurse. What is unclear to them is that the advice and guidance that they receive comes with many consequences, and for Romeo and Juliet, it is death. Throughout the course of the Shakespearian play, Friar Lawrence gives the couple a lot of advice and guidance. To avoid marrying Paris, he tells Juliet to pretend to be dead with the help of a special potion he made. As part of the plan, he was supposed to inform Romeo of this arrangement yet he fails which later costs him his own life along with Juliet’s. “Come I’ll dispose of thee/ Among a sisterhood of holy nuns/ Stay not to question, for the watch is coming/ Come, go good Juliet. I dare no longer stay/” (Shakespeare 5.3 155) demonstrates how selfish he was as he left the Capulet tomb and let Juliet kill herself instead of…

    Although the Friar is wary of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, he immediately agrees to be Romeos ‘assistant’ in hopes of turning their ‘household’s rancour to pure love’ and unites the lovers with a ‘faithful vow’. The friar not only disregards his ‘misgivings’ but also plays privy to the relationship and marriage of the ‘star-cross’d lovers’. The priest inadvertently feeds Romeo and Juliet irresponsible and extreme ideas and devises to ensure that their love will live on. When Juliet came to him with ‘wild looks’, Friar Lawrence suggests that Juliet take a sleeping potion before her ‘marriage’ to Count Paris and feign death until the arrival of her lord, Romeo. This again necessitates the use of dishonesty for Juliet to her parents. When Romeo receives news the ‘death’ of his ‘true love’ he jumps to conclusions and purchases a vial of poison to take his own life with. Friar Lawrence was not prepared for this turn of events though he devised a plan that Romeo should ‘know our drift’ things did not occur so and Romeo takes his life. When Juliet awakens to find poison be Romeo’s ‘timeless end’ she too takes her life after the friar had unintentionally promoted and encouraged the hasty decisions of the two lovers. Although the friar had kind-hearted intentions he was ‘miscarried’ and consequently was responsible for the bereavement of Romeo and…
