| They don’t know where Romeo is; they think Romeo still loves Rosaline | What do Benvolio and Mercutio not know about Romeo in Scene 1? |
| All positive things such as that she is beautiful, pure, good, warm, and loving. | What qualities does Romeo give to Juliet by using light as a symbol for her? |
| Stars of heaven and “what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!” | Quote two examples of images which refer to light in lines 1 to 22. |
| She’s asking why does his name have to be Romeo/ why does he have to be a Montague | What does Juliet’s famous line ‘O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?’ mean? |
| Because the moon changes | Why does Juliet say that Romeo must not swear by the moon |
| Juliet doesn’t want him to get caught b/c he would get killed. She also says it’s too soon to make vows b/c he may be playing games. Romeo doesn’t care about anything but love. | Juliet is more practical than Romeo in scene 2. Give evidence to support this. |
| Juliet will send a messenger to Romeo at 9 the next morning to find out the arrangements of the wedding. | What arrangements do the two lovers make at the end of the meeting? |
| Romeo told him about Rosaline and Friar Lawrence was the first person he went to for advice about Juliet | How do we know that Romeo and Friar Lawrence have a close relationship? |
| Friar Lawrence was surprised, asked about Rosaline, and then asked if the love was real. | How does Friar Lawrence react when Romeo asks him to marry him and Juliet that very day? |
| He agrees to marry them because he thinks it will end the feud and turn the hatred to love | In one respect ‘I’ll thy assistant be/ For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancour to pure love. Refer to these lines and explain why Friar Lawrence agrees to marry the lovers. |
