Write an Explanation of the Way Juliet Feels in Act 3 Scene2. How much do you Sympathise with Her? In Act 3 Scene 2, Juliet experiences many different & strong emotions. This essay is to explain the reasons why she experiences these feelings. From excitement & joy to anger & resentment, from complete despair, she finds hope & towards the end she is strongly thinking about committing suicide. It goes from one extreme emotion to another. This scene explores her thoughts & feelings about Romeo & what he really is like. This scene is one of the most dramatic & exciting scenes in the play Romeo & Juliet.                 At the beginning of the scene, she feels excitement. Since that Romeo & Juliet have gotten married secretly, she wants Romeo to hurry up, so that they consummate their marriage. We know that Juliet wants to Romeo to hurry because she said, ‘Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds’. She wants Romeo to come at night because it is the only time that they can consummate their marriage because no one can see Romeo enter the Capulet mansion, the darkness hides Romeo. Darkness is one of the main themes in this scene. She said, ‘and bring in cloudy night immediately. Spread thy close curtain, love performing night’, this shows us that she wants night to come. It also says that this is the night that they perform their love. ‘So tedious is this day’, she is impatient for the day to be over.

She makes this obvious to audience by using beautiful language to show that he is special to her. ‘Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night’, Romeo is day & he stands out in the night. In this quote, Shakespeare used darkness to show how much Juliet adores Romeo, one of the main themes in this play is darkness.’ Give me my Romeo; &, when he shall die, Take him & cut him out in little stars, & he will make the face of

heaven so fine That the world will be in love with night’, she loves & adores him so much that she wants to cut him up into little stars & wants everyone to love him as the way she loves him. She says, ‘Give me my Romeo’, Shakespeare uses alliteration, ‘me my’, & Romeo belongs to Juliet & she wants him.                                                                                              When the nurse enters, she is nervous & anxious to tell her something.
