2. Explain Paris’ logic in thinking that Romeo is responsible for Juliet killing herself.
3. Did Paris love Juliet? Give evidence to support your answer.
4. Romeo comments that Juliet looks just as beautiful in death as she did in life, with roses in her cheeks and lips. He doesn’t realize that the “death” is just a potion that’s wearing off. Instead, why does he figure Juliet is still so beautiful?
5. Who is present when Juliet awakens? Why doesn’t this person stay?
6. Juliet says, “Thy lips are warm!” This is, quite arguably, one of the saddest lines in the entire play. Why are these four little words so meaningful?
