Summary for all my English kids: Scene 3 opens as Friar Laurence gathers herbs and plants from his garden early the next morning. Speaking aloud to himself, Friar Laurence discusses the various uses of plants, noting that they have the power both to heal and to kill. Romeo enters as Friar Laurence uses a particular flower as an example, explaining that merely smelling the flower makes one feel good, while a taste of it could kill. Romeo announces his presence and Friar Laurence chides him for being up so early, surmising that Romeo never actually went to bed the previous night. When Romeo confirms that he has not yet slept, Friar Laurence is initially fearful that Romeo has sinned by sleeping with Rosaline. Romeo assures him that this is not the case and that he is completely over Rosaline. Explaining that he now loves Juliet, Romeo begs the Friar to marry them. Friar Laurence is taken aback by Romeo’s sudden declaration of love for Juliet and points out that Romeo’s tears over Rosaline have barely dried, yet he has already fallen in love again. Romeo defends his choice, reminding the Friar that he often counseled Romeo to forget about Rosaline. Romeo argues that his relationship with Juliet is different as she (unlike Rosaline) loves him back; this leads Friar Laurence to point out that Rosaline could tell that Romeo’s love was not genuine. Though he remains skeptical of Romeo’s judgment, Friar Laurence ultimately agrees to perform the marriage ceremony in the hope that such an alliance might put a stop to the feud between the Montagues and Capulets. Mercutio and Benvolio enter, wondering what happened to Romeo, since he never returned home the night before. Mercutio criticizes Rosaline, whom he believes to be the cause of his friend’s odd behavior, and Benvolio mentions that Tybalt has formally challenged Romeo to a duel. Mercutio questions whether Romeo, in his lovelorn state, is really man enough to face Tybalt, who is very well trained in the art of swordsmanship (though Mercutio criticizes Tybalt for his conceited attitude and obsession with proper style). Romeo finally appears, and Mercutio mocks his friend’s earlier lovesickness by making up dramatic and overwrought compliments about Rosaline, hyperbolically declaring that great beauties like Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are nothing compared to her. Romeo does not deny that he gave his friends the slip the night before but claims that he had a good reason for his behavior. This sets off a witty exchange between Mercutio and Romeo that is full of sexual humor and double-entendre. Their verbal sparring is interrupted by the arrival of the Nurse and Peter. To the Nurse’s chagrin, Mercutio taunts her with insulting and obviously sexual language. Irritated, the Nurse demands whether any of them know Romeo Montague. Romeo identifies himself, and Mercutio and Benvolio leave. The Nurse warns Romeo that he had better not be attempting to trick Juliet, and Romeo assures her that his intentions are honorable. He asks the Nurse to have Juliet come up with an excuse to visit the abbey later that afternoon so that Friar Laurence may secretly marry them. He also instructs the Nurse to pick up a rope ladder from one of his men, which will allow Romeo to visit Juliet’s room on their wedding night. Analysis: Scene 3 introduces Friar Laurence, Romeo’s priest and confidante. Friar Laurence’s speech about the dual nature of plants ties into the theme of paradox that runs throughout the play. All living things, Friar Laurence contends, have the potential for good, and conversely, there is nothing so good that it cannot become bad if put to the wrong use. Of course, this idea can be directly applied to that predicament of the young lovers as the feud transforms their love-which would normally be a positive force-into something destructive and sad. By marrying Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence hopes to prove his theory right, demonstrating that something that seems bad (forbidden love) can bring about something virtuous (the end of the feud): “And vice sometime by action dignified.” However, Friar Laurence’s theory is sadly proved correct in reverse when Romeo and Juliet’s virtuous love turns to tragedy after being “misapplied” to end the feud. With Friar Laurence and the Nurse, Romeo and Juliet have now each recruited an adult accomplice to aid them in their secret plans. Unfortunately, both adults prove to be somewhat inept advisors and do little to discourage the young lovers. Friar Laurence initially scolds Romeo for his seemingly fickle love, saying aloud what the audience has likely been thinking: that Romeo’s change of heart seems to have happened too fast. He counsels Romeo to be slow and cautious yet fails to follow his own advice, agreeing to marry the young couple later that very day. Meanwhile, the Nurse just appears excited to be included in the illicit romance, doing little to slow the course of the relationship. Though they support the couple, neither Friar Laurence nor the Nurse seem to understand the purity or idealism of Romeo and Juliet’s feelings. While the Nurse sees their relationship primarily in sexual terms, Friar Laurence sees their love as an opportunity to end a violent conflict. Though his Mercutio’s teasing in scene 4 obviously indicates that Romeo’s friends still think he is in love with Rosaline, Romeo does not bother to correct them, suggesting that Romeo has compartmentalized his relationship with Juliet from the rest of his life. Trading inappropriate jokes with his friends, Romeo seems completely changed from the sensitive, emotional lover he is with Juliet. Mercutio even remarks upon Romeo’s noticeably brightened spirits, saying, “Now art thou sociable, now art thou Romeo.” These two seemingly different sides to Romeo further complicate his relationships with both Juliet and his friends. This tension is highlighted when the Nurse arrives to make plans with Romeo and is subjected to Mercutio’s inappropriate jests. The juxtaposition of sexualized male banter and Romeo’s assurances to the Nurse that his intentions with Juliet are honorable is jarring and serves as a reminder of Romeo’s youth. Ultimately, it is left to the audience to decide how much Romeo has actually matured since the beginning of the play. Mercutio’s mimicry of his lovelorn friend not only highlights the obvious superficiality of Romeo’s past love for Rosaline, but also references “Thisbe” from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The famous tale of the forbidden love between Thisbe and her lover Pyramus (who both eventually commit suicide) shares many similarities with Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio’s reference to this particular story invites the question of whether Romeo ever truly extinguishes his desire to imitate the classic or traditional forms of love. Is his decision to commit suicide at the end of the play wholly caused by genuine despair or is he influenced by a classical tradition of dying for love?
Capulet: "Do you quarrel, sir?" Montague: *giggles* "Quarrel, sir? No, sir." Capulet: "If you do sir--" *What Montague should have said* "Doth thou speak English, good sir? Or art thou deaf? I said, NO, sir."
@@altanthomas2ndchannel566 I do remember that Romeo and Juliet's deaths were foreshadowed a lot during the enitre play. During the wedding scene, Friar Lawerence warns Romeo that "violent delights have violent ends". Clearly talking about Romeo moving too fast in this relationship and ultimately won't end well. (and yes I know your comment old lol)

Anybody else feel so bad for Prince Escalus because of the s*it he has to put up with? He's in charge of ruling and protecting the city of Verona, which is enough of a headache as it is. But he also has two rich families that literally go at each other's throats whenever they see each other. Imagine him sitting in his study trying to get work done or having a meeting with his council when the bells start ringing. He doesn't even need to be told why the bells are ringing: he can already take a guess and is like 'Damn it! Not again!'. Seeing as how he showed up in battle armor and a platoon of soldiers, I think it's safe to say that he had enough of the bs. He mentions how the fights are not only becoming more frequent but also causing a lot of damage to the city and innocent civilians are getting hurt. It's gotten to the point that Escalus could no longer tolerate and had to put his foot down as the Prince and ruler of the city. I've always like Prince Escalus because he never showed bias towards either family. He was just and fair, and made it clear to both families that both are equally responsible for everything that has happened.
it always annoyed me that both families were always blamed. The Capulets were always the instigators, meanwhile the Montagues were just defending themselves. Even in this scene the Capulets started the fight and then even when Lord Montague joins the fight he does not do so until he sees one of his men in injured. And in the book well Lord Montague and Capulet shake hands Lord Montague was the first one to reach out to shake his hand. Besides the fight Romeo had with Tybalt which was excused,, the Capulets started all other fight
Of course the original play probably wanted us not to forget both sides are responsible, but frankly in most adaptations, the Montagues really are the chill/sympathetic ones while the Capulets are the trouble makers.
Apparently Zefirelli described his discovery of Leonard Whiting as: "He has a magnificent face, gentle melancholy, sweet, the kind of idealistic young man Romeo ought to be."
3:45 and 4:06 See what I mean? The whole play through, adult characters talk about the dangers of being rash and impulsive and say that people need to take their time with important things like getting married or say that people should 'love moderately' - and yet throughout the play those same people go around acting as impulsively as anything, getting into street fights even though they're supposed to be respectable middle-aged citizens, threatening to disinherit their children for not marrying the person they choose, setting up weddings to take place in 3 days, and coming up with crazy fake-death schemes. How are the youngsters supposed to learn how to act rationally when they have no example of rational actions?
That's the whole point, it is only their respect for the prince's authority who holds the city together and keeping the peace despite this deep and petty rivalry. When he is not present the Montagues and Capulets bring open war to the streets of Verona but amidst the chaos the beloved son and daughter of both families fall into a forbidden yet symbolic love and die together restoring the peace. Out of their wreckless and irresponsible young love they ironically prove to be the most mature and grown up members of both their families because they are the only two who could set aside the rivalry. Their deaths silence both sides, realizing the pointlessness of their bickering and how it destroyed their most cherished children they finally reconciled in memory of their sacrifice. Love even through death overcame hatred
@@calj6148 Exactly. But more people seem to want to say it's a story of being young and acting stupidly. This point has completely gone over their heads, that's why I felt I should point out 'it's not like the older, more 'mature' characters act any better.
Just finished Romeo and Juliet acts last week. This movie literally explains everything better than the original writing lmao 😂. Only sucks when I’m a Senior I’ll have to read the Hamlet, another one of Shakespeare’s playwrights.
6:11: You Capulet shall go along with me. And Montague come you this afternoon. Yikes. Prince Escalus has more than a tongue lashing for the Lords. And it AIN'T pretty!
My drama teacher pointed out. That Capulet gets read the riot act. The Montague's when he calms down still gets a talking to, but I think the Prince had an idea who started what. His theory was the Prince is related to the Montague's. I don't see any hard evidence of that. But then again it's only a play.
A young Michael York, sure seemed to enjoy being a sword swinging hooligan. No wonder he was cast in the Three Musketeers a few years later. He's been in one of the Best Romeo and Juliet performances and one of the best Musketeer's films.
If I was in charge and I had two families duking it out like this, I would of done this. Have them gather all their men, go outside the city, and let them go at each other to their hearts content. The family that declares victory gets to stay in the city. The defeated family is to take their wealth and belongings and leave the city, never to return. They could move to any place in Italy they want, but they would never be allowed in Verona again. Might sound harsh, but aside from the whole 'children die out of love' thing, that might be the only other option to put a stop to this feud. Of course, another option would be for the prince to order romeo and juliet to wed, thereby forcing the families to get along.
Let me teach you a bit. They are not trumpets, they are bugles. Essentially a trumpet with no valves. They are also called royal horns in some countries. They are not the same instruments though. In this scene the bugles are pitched in B flat and A flat.
as a child I appreciated this movie for the aftersex scene my teacher had to cover, as a man I appreciate this movie for how unhinged and amazing the marketplace fight scene is.
1. In the text box, write an Objective Summary of the scene 2. What is unique about the colors of clothing the families are wearing? 3. Is there music? What does the music translate that the words don't (Example: How do viewers know when the Prince enters the scene)? :|
was i the only 9th grade english student that didn't study Shakespeare lol? i was a freshman from 2019-2020 and my class didn't even do romeo and juliet. i just watch it on my own time bc it's so good lol.
Not gonna lie though the capulets are kinda jerks, to begin with... they just start spitting on the Montagues who just wanted to go shopping, and at some point the Montagues did put up with capulets BullSh*t until they began outright assaulting them via tripping
Why Tybalt wearing Montague tights???!?????????? My Tybalt x Marcutio x Benvolio fever dream is coming true............ Yes, I'm in ninth grade English but this makes perfect sense to me.
If they were from the Capulet or Montague house, they should be scared of him. The Prince warned them multiple times to knock it off, but they kept fighting each other. It's gotten so out of hand that innocent civilians who have nothing to do with either family are getting dragged into it. Given the Prince showed up in battle armor and a platoon of soldiers, they realized they crossed the line this time. Because it means the Prince was willing to fight them himself to get the two rival families to stop.

4:54: The Prince! The Prince is coming! Put down your weapons! The Prince, the Prince! Here comes the Prince! Put your weapons down! The Prince!
POV: Your in Year 9 and your teacher gave you this to watch for homework
And just like that a thumb starts a war
Lol
The Socs vs the Greasers
I didn't know Zac Efron was in this movie
Красавчик,Майкл Йорк!❤🌹🌟👍
POV: Your in year 8 and ur assigned to watch this video 😭
So tybalt stabbed Benvolio in the eye but a few scenes later he is all better?
That’s what never made sense to me
4:51 I remember that trumpet call sounding a lot more regal and triumphant. Kinda mediocre looking back at it.
The Prince: Really, Guys? AGAIN?!?!?
Capulets and Montagues: We're sorry TT_TT
The Prince: One more brawl like this, and I will have you executed!
I saw it under my own free will. Sometime in late 60s.
Probably 1968. The year I saw it in the theatre. First movie to bring tears to my eyes. I was a 16 year old boy.
Forced to watch this in 9th grade English class during quarantine.
3:18 stick him in the eye!
I’m playing the prince for my performance on Friday, and I need costume ideas.pls help! The due date is March 8
Kailan Nogueira you should wear costumes like the ones these peoples wear
Your welcome
Luke Marks bruh
Peter McCabe thanks I flunked so it helped out
Peter McCabe jk 😠😠😠
I give that prince a salute for putting his foot down and putting a stop to that brawl. It was out of control, and innocent people could've been hurt.
hi
If I was in charge and I had two families duking it out like this, I would of done this. Have them gather all their men, go outside the city, and let them go at each other to their hearts content. The family that declares victory gets to stay in the city. The defeated family is to take their wealth and belongings and leave the city, never to return. They could move to any place in Italy they want, but they would never be allowed in Verona again.
Might sound harsh, but aside from the whole 'children die out of love' thing, that might be the only other option to put a stop to this feud. Of course, another option would be for the prince to order romeo and juliet to wed, thereby forcing the families to get along.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Hell, I would've banned both families from the kingdom.
any advice for someone who's gonna be acting escalus?
And the great mystery is: Just who was playing the trumpets? lol
at 4:55 look closely
Let me teach you a bit. They are not trumpets, they are bugles. Essentially a trumpet with no valves. They are also called royal horns in some countries. They are not the same instruments though. In this scene the bugles are pitched in B flat and A flat.
Camerman’s crew
whats happening
as a child I appreciated this movie for the aftersex scene my teacher had to cover, as a man I appreciate this movie for how unhinged and amazing the marketplace fight scene is.
Im here because of quarantine and my teachers sufferable way of teaching
1. In the text box, write an Objective Summary of the scene
2. What is unique about the colors of clothing the families are wearing?
3. Is there music? What does the music translate that the words don't (Example: How do viewers know when the Prince enters the scene)?
:|
i'm in 10th grade- y'all are just more advanced than my school I guess
Prince was really pissed.
Well given the crap he has to put up with from the two families and their non stop fighting, I don't blame him one bit for being pissed off.
I love birbs and planes
was i the only 9th grade english student that didn't study Shakespeare lol? i was a freshman from 2019-2020 and my class didn't even do romeo and juliet. i just watch it on my own time bc it's so good lol.
Not gonna lie though the capulets are kinda jerks, to begin with... they just start spitting on the Montagues who just wanted to go shopping, and at some point the Montagues did put up with capulets BullSh*t until they began outright assaulting them via tripping
im here for 9th grade english too lol
POV your bored outa your mind working in quarantine
how many people do you think died in this vrawl
I swear is this a thing for all 9th graders everyone's saying it lol btw i did enjoy this movie
I have to act out the prince's speech in 2/3 DAYS AURGGHHH
I am but one among many ninth grade English students sent here to discover for myself the inadequacy of the United States school system.
MS PETERS CLASS FROM PEN WHATS UP
OKAY
"3 civial brawls bread by an airy word by thee..." Sounds like the hood, if you ask me.
Year 7 english:
3:00 And now, the Shakespearean equivalent of the ending of Green Street.
Dababy should've been in this movie
Less goo 👉😁👈

Why Tybalt wearing Montague tights???!?????????? My Tybalt x Marcutio x Benvolio fever dream is coming true............ Yes, I'm in ninth grade English but this makes perfect sense to me.
Stealth Tybalt.
Who goes to cmsp here and watched this and thought it was weird
This is Aiden by the way
year 9 English from about a month ago? Mr G???? I don't understand what's going on??
Looking at some of the Verona residents, they are scared of the Prince.
If they were from the Capulet or Montague house, they should be scared of him. The Prince warned them multiple times to knock it off, but they kept fighting each other. It's gotten so out of hand that innocent civilians who have nothing to do with either family are getting dragged into it.
Given the Prince showed up in battle armor and a platoon of soldiers, they realized they crossed the line this time. Because it means the Prince was willing to fight them himself to get the two rival families to stop.
I have to do a text to film comparison for 9th grade lmao looks like the older generation had watched this before us.
you cant just hit my bro with “You lie” and get away with that
