Writing Prompt

In her efforts to console Juliet, the nurse decides to arrange for Romeo to visit with Juliet. Use evidence from anywhere in the text to explain your thoughts about the nurse’s actions here and the impact they may have on the plot.

Key Questions


  • How did you predict that Juliet will react to the news that Romeo has murdered Tybalt and is banished? Is her reaction similar to or different from your expectation? How would you characterize her reaction (both the initial response and how her response develops over the course of the scene)?
  • Why is it ironic that she gets angry at the nurse for criticizing Romeo?
  • Juliet is concerned that she will not get to have her wedding night with Romeo. What is the nurse’s solution? What do you think about this solution?

Next
