William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

Act I Scene i

Two Capulet servants provoke a fight with a servant from the house of Montague. Benvolio, Romeo's cousin, tries to stop the scuffle and asks Tybalt, a nephew of the Capulets, for help. Tybalt, however, antagonizes the situation until it is an allout brawl. Prince Escalus, ruler of Verona, appears and threatens the life of anyone involved in any future MontagueCapulet fights.

Romeo's parents encounter Benvolio and ask if he has seen Romeo. Benvolio discusses Romeo's melancholy behavior, since the Montague's son has been sick with unrequited love for the fair Rosaline. Romeo appears and asks Benvolio for help, but his cousin advises him, instead, to consider the beauty of other girls. Romeo is resistant to the suggestion and does not want to forget Rosaline.

Why is the prince so upset?

What is his warning to the citizens?


Act I Scene i(page 30)

Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,Profaners of this neighbourstained steel,Will they not hear? What, ho! you men, you beasts,That quench the fire of your pernicious rageWith purple fountains issuing from your veins,On pain of torture, from those bloody handsThrow your mistemper'd weapons to the ground,And hear the sentence of your moved prince.Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets,And made Verona's ancient citizensCast by their grave beseeming ornaments,To wield old partisans, in hands as old,Canker'd with peace, to part your canker'd hate:If ever you disturb our streets again,Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.For this time, all the rest depart away:You Capulet; shall go along with me:And, Montague, come you this afternoon,To know our further pleasure in this case,To old Freetown, our common judgmentplace.Once more, on pain of death, all men depart.

Why are Romeo's parents concerned about him?


Act I Scene i

(pages 32 & 34)

MONTAGUE Many a morning hath he there been seen,With tears augmenting the fresh morning dew.Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs;But all so soon as the allcheering sunShould in the furthest east begin to drawThe shady curtains from Aurora's bed,Away from the light steals home my heavy son,And private in his chamber pens himself,Shuts up his windows, locks far daylight outAnd makes himself an artificial night:Black and portentous must this humour prove,Unless good counsel may the cause remove.BENVOLIO My noble uncle, do you know the cause?MONTAGUE I neither know it nor can learn of him.BENVOLIO Have you importuned him by any means?MONTAGUE Both by myself and many other friends:But he, his own affections' counsellor,Is to himselfI will not say how trueBut to himself so secret and so close,So far from sounding and discovery,As is the bud bit with an envious worm,Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air,Or dedicate his beauty to the sun.Could we but learn from whence his sorrows grow.We would as willingly give cure as know.

How does Romeo describe love?

What does this reveal about his character?


Act I Scene i(page 36)

ROMEO Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will!Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here?Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.Here's much to do with hate, but more with love.Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!O any thing, of nothing first create!O heavy lightness! serious vanity!Misshapen chaos of wellseeming forms!Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,sick health!Stillwaking sleep, that is not what it is!This love feel I, that feel no love in this.Dost thou not laugh?BENVOLIO No, coz, I rather weep.ROMEO Good heart, at what?BENVOLIO At thy good heart's oppression.ROMEO Why, such is love's transgression.Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prestWith more of thine: this love that thou hast shownDoth add more grief to too much of mine own.Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;Being vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears:What is it else? a madness most discreet,A choking gall and a preserving sweet.Farewell, my coz.

To arrange a meeting between the two, Capulet invites Paris to a masquerade ball to be held at his home that same night where both young people will meet and appraise each other.

An illiterate servant from the Capulet household is sent to deliver party invitations for the Capulet ball. He cannot read and when he meets Benvolio and Romeo on the street, he asks them to please help him read the guest list. They discover Roasaline's name among the guests.

Act I Scene vLord Capulet, the genial host, welcomes his guests. Romeo sees Juliet and falls hopelessly in love. Asking a servant the name of the young beauty, he is overheard by her cousin Tybalt, who recognizes his voice as an enemy Montague. Tybalt informs Lord Capulet that he is prepared to fight Romeo at that very moment, but Capulet defends Romeo as a "virtuous youth" and restrains Tybalt harshly.

Romeo and Juliet, though still strangers, speak, and each responds to the other with sudden, overwhelming passion. Later, when they part, they learn the devastating news that they are the children of feuding families.

If I profane with my unworthiest handThis holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready standTo smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,Which mannerly devotion shows in this;For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
