In Act II, Scene IV Shakespeare sets up the meeting between Romeo and the Nurse as a brokerage for prostitution. What is this an example of and why is it employed?
Irony, Shakespeare is contrasting the purity of Romeo and Juliet's love for each other to the more mundane perceptions of love by somebody such as Mercutio. This contrast elevates the pathos of their star-crossed love.
Shakespeare takes us on a voyage to see if you are even still reading these answers.
Shakespeare is saying that it is ironic for two people to love each other so deeply even though they are both going to die from it.
By exploring the wordplay between the Nurse and Romeo, Shakespeare is trying to let the reader know that love hurts, it really, really does.
Act II, Scene VI - structurally – is a very short scene, yet it would seem that it would be one of the longer, more flowery scenes considering it is supposed to be such a joyous occasion. Why did Shakespeare keep the scene so short?
It is a short scene because it reflects the length of the tragic marriage between Romeo and Juliet.
It is a short scene because it is consistent with Shakespeare’s use of paradox. Not only does he do it with words, but he does it with people’s minds...He is causing the reader to ask about opposites.
It is a short scene to reflect the physical stature of the Friar. You can tell that he is a short man after you watch the movie.
It is a short scene because paper was expensive, and Shakespeare was out of work at the time.
In Act III, Scene I Mercutio continues to joke around even though he has been stabbed through. He says, “Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man.” Why does Shakespeare use the word grave rather than something easier to understand such as dead?
Grave is a pun and it can have several meanings such as dead or sad.
Grave is an adjective that describes the man that he wants Benvolio to find for him tomorrow.
Grave is a paradox that shows how he is alive and dead at the same time.
Grave is a foreshadowing device that implicitly defines Mercutio’s death.
