Act 5 Scene 3 Flashcards
ROMEO dies
Enter Left on balcony
Saint Francis be my speed! How oft tonight have my old feet stumbled at graves! – Who’s there?
BALTHASAR: Here’s one, a friend, and one that knows you well.
Bliss be upon you! Tell me, good my friend, what torch is yond that vainly lends his light?
BALTHASAR: there’s my master, one that you love
Who is it?
BALTHASAR: Romeo
(worried) How long hath he been there?
BALTHASAR: full half an hour
Go with me to the vault
BALTHASAR: […] If I did stay to look on his intents.
Stay then, I’ll go alone. [start to cross] Fear comes upon me.
(timidly) Romeo? [touch tomb wall]
(confused) Alack, alack, what blood is this, which stains the stone entrance of the sepulcher?
Romeo! O, Pale! Who else? What? Paris too? The lady stirs
JULIET: […] Where is my Romeo?
I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep. A greater power than we can contradict hath thwarted our intents.
Come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead, and Paris too. (kinda farntic) 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.
JULIET: Go , get thee hence, for I will not away–
Exit through the tomb entrance?
CHIEF WATCHMAN: Hold him in safety till the Prince come hither.
Enter with Third watchman
PRINCE: bring forth the parties of suspicion
[you were just crying. sound choked up]
I am the greatest, able to do the least, yet most suspected, as the time and place doth make against me, of this direful murder.
PRINCE: Then say at once what thou dost know in this.
Romeo, there dead, was husband to that Juliet, and she there dead, that Romeo’s faithful wife. I married them and their stol’n marriage day was Tybalt’s doomsday, whose untimely death banished the new-made bridegroom from the city
mono. Final
All this I know, and to the marriage her Nurse is privy.
And if aught in this miscarried by my fault, let my old life be sacrificed some hour before his time unto the rigor of severest law.
