Analysis: Act 3, scenes 2–4

The love between Romeo and Juliet, blissful in Act 2, is tested under dire circumstances as the conflict between their families takes a turn more disastrous than either could have imagined. The respective manners in which the young lovers respond to their imminent separation helps define the essential qualities of their respective characters. After hearing that he is to be exiled, Romeo acts with customary drama: he is grief-stricken and overcome by his passion. He collapses on the floor. Romeo refuses to listen to reason and threatens to kill himself. Juliet, on the other hand, displays significant progress in her development from the simple, innocent girl of the first act to the brave, mature, and loyal woman of the play’s conclusion. After criticizing Romeo for his role in Tybalt’s death, and hearing the Nurse malign Romeo’s name, Juliet regains control of herself and realizes that her loyalty must be to her husband rather than to Tybalt, her cousin.

Shakespeare creates an interesting psychological tension in Romeo and Juliet by consistently linking the intensity of young love with a suicidal impulse. Though love is generally the opposite of hatred, violence, and death, Shakespeare portrays self-annihilation as seemingly the only response to the overwhelming emotional experience that being young and in love constitutes. Romeo and Juliet seem to flirt with the idea of death throughout much of the play, and the possibility of suicide recurs often, foreshadowing the eventual deaths of the lovers in Act 5. When Juliet misunderstands the Nurse and thinks that Romeo is dead, she does not think that he was killed, but that he killed himself. And thinking that Romeo is dead, Juliet quickly decides that she too must die. Her love for Romeo will allow no other course of action.

Romeo’s actual threat of suicide in Friar Lawrence’s cell, in which he desires to “sack / The hateful mansion” (3.3.106–107) that is his body so that he may eradicate his name, recalls the balcony scene, in which Romeo scorns his Montague name in front of Juliet by saying, “Had I it written, I would tear the word” (2.1.99). In the balcony scene, a name seemed to be a simple thing that he could hold up in front of him and tear. Once torn, he could easily live without it. Now, with a better understanding of how difficult it is to escape the responsibilities and claims of family loyalty, of being a Montague, Romeo modifies his metaphor. No longer does he conceive of himself as able to tear his name. Instead, now he must rip it from his body, and, in the process, die.

Capulet’s reasons for moving up the date of Juliet’s marriage to Paris are not altogether clear. In later scenes, he states that he desires to bring some joy into a sad time, and to want to cure Juliet of her deep mourning (of course, ironically, she mourns her husband’s banishment and not Tybalt’s death). But it is also possible that in this escalating time of strife with the Montagues, Capulet wants all the political help he can get. A marriage between his daughter and Paris, a close kinsman to the Prince, would go a long way in this regard. Regardless of Capulet’s motivation, his decision makes obvious the powerlessness of women in Verona. Juliet’s impotence in this situation is driven home by the irony of Capulet’s determination to push the wedding from Wednesday to Thursday when a few days earlier he wanted to postpone the wedding by two years.


Merci beaucoup de votre aide !

  • scene 2 : Juliette attend impatiemment que la nuit vienne pour qu'enfin elle puisse vivre sa première (et dernière) nuit d'amour avec Roméo. Elle ignore tout bien sûr de ce qui s'est passé dans la scène précédente aussi accueille-t-elle avec joie sa nourrice. La joie est vite interrompue par les nouvelles qu'apporte la nourrice mais, sous le choc de l'émotion, elle entretient un quiproquo affreux : Juliette croit que Roméo est mort. Quand enfin elle comprend que Roméo est non pas la victime mais le coupable, elle est en proie à un dilemme : haïr son mari qui a tué son cousin ou le plaindre Mais elle se ressaisit et comprend que Roméo est victime de la haine et de la violence de TYbalt : " Mon mari vit, lui que Tybalt voulait tuer" (page 167). Désespérée elle veut mourir : " Je vais au lit nuptial ; / Que la mort et non Roméo prenne ma virginité." (page 169) Mais la nourrice, toujours aussi dévouée et complice des amants, la quitte pour aller chercher Roméo. Juliette est bien consciente que cette nuit d'amour sera unique : " Dis lui de venir prendre son dernier adieu." (page 169)

    scene 4 : 
    le père de Juliette, qui au cours de l'acte I avait demandé à Paris d'attendre deux ans avant d'épouser Juliette, décide de précipiter les événements et sans avoir consulté sa fille, il décide que le mariage sera célébré dans 3jours (jeudi). Sûr de lui, il est certain que cette nouvelle sera bien accueillie par Juliette et la sortira de sa tristesse.
