Romeo and Juliet Act 5

1. Do you feel sympathy for the Capulet's, Nurse, and Paris when they express grief over Juliet's death? Why or why not? (Give an explanation for each):

Capulet's: I don't feel sympathy for the Capulet's, but I do at the same time because they didn't care for her to listen to what she has to say. And then I do feel sympathy because that was there daughter.

Nurse: Yes I do feel sympathy for the nurse because she knew Juliet for a long time. Nurse was considered like a mother to Juliet. Then all of a sudden Juliet was dead.

Paris: I do not feel sympathy towards Paris because he didn't react toward her death. I believe he doesn't even care about Juliet, hes probably looking for another women to marry.

2. How might older and younger audiences differ in their opinion of Romeo's and Juliet's actions? Explain your opinion by using specific examples from the play.
 - If older and younger audiences would have watched this, I think the older audience will think that this was dumb. They don't even no each other like that. They only did it because of love. When it comes down to the younger audiences I think that the younger audience would understand Romeo and Juliet's situation because they are younger and they know how it is when it comes to love and they are younger. Also the younger Audience knows how parents act when it comes to love and they don't like the person.

3. Do you believe the risks that Juliet have taken are justified in her attempt to avoid marriage with Paris? Could Juliet have gotten out of the marriage in any other way? Explain your opinion using details from Act 3 and Act 4. 
- I think that Juliet took to many risks just because of her love with Romeo and that she is thinking to much about it. If I were her I would just listen to my parents and just marry Paris instead of going through the trouble of drinking a potion that I don't even know if i would wake up in the morning. I think that it would have been better to just runaway with Romeo when it was early in the morning without anyone knowing because that way both of them know that they are alive and well.
