Romeo and Juliet Act 3, Romeo and Juliet Act 4 Questions and Answers Graded A Why does Tybalt want a piece of Romeo? ✔Ans✔ Romeo went to the Capulet party without an invitation. Tybalt felt this... was insulting and he needed to get him back. What is Romeo's reason for not fighting him? ✔Ans✔ Romeo doesn't want to fight Tybalt because he is now related to him (due to his marriage to Juliet). Romeo "loves him" like a relative. Tybalt doesn't know that Romeo has married Juliet. Romeo says ... I do protest I never injured thee, But love thee better than thou canst devise. (3.1.65-66) Explain how Romeo is involved in Mercutio's death. ✔Ans✔ Romeo gets between Mercutio and Tybalt. Tybalt reaches through and stabs Mercutio. What literary device is used in the following lines from Mercutio? A plague a'both houses! I am sped. ✔Ans✔ It is an example of foreshadowing when Mercutio says "A plague a'both your houses!" It foretells the terrible price that both families will pay for this feud. What does Mercutio mean by the following: Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man. ✔Ans✔ Mercutio makes a pun on the word grave. Grave can mean serious but in this case, Mercutio knows he is dying so he means he will be in a grave. Romeo blames Juliet's beauty for the death of Mercutio. Explain why. ✔Ans✔ Romeo says that Juliet's beauty made her weak so he couldn't kill Mercutio, her cousin. It made him "effeminate" or like a woman and soft. Who kills Tybalt? ✔Ans✔ Romeo kills Tybalt. Why is Romeo "fortune's fool?" Why is this significant? ✔Ans✔ When Romeo calls himself "fortune's fool" he means that he is unlucky and at the mercy of fate. He is not responsible for his actions and blames fate for controlling him (robbing him of his free will). As we know, fate has played a significant role in the play so far and will continue to do so. What is Romeo's punishment for killing Tybalt? ✔Ans✔ Romeo's punishment for killing Tybalt is that he is banished (exiled) from Verona. In Act 1, the Prince said that anyone who disturbed the peace again would be sentenced to death. Why doesn't the Prince sentence Romeo to death? ✔Ans✔ Romeo wasn't sentenced to death for a couple of reasons. Romeo killed Tybalt but Tybalt had killed Mercutio. Mercutio was related to the Prince. The sentence was reduced due to these circumstances. What does Juliet mean by the following: Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, Toward Phoebus' lodging. Such a wagoner As Phaeton would whip you to the west And bring in cloudy night immediately. Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night, That runaways' eyes may wink, and Romeo Leap to these arms, untalked of and unseen. ✔Ans✔ Juliet wants the day to leave and the night to come. Notice that Romeo and Juliet's relationship takes place at night. [Show More]
