        <description><![CDATA[Could you use the phial with the potion in it from the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare? I will provide a link to an essential passage where the sleeping potion is mentioned - all you have to do is to draw one and explain the passage spoken by Friar Laurence where he mentions it. Act 5 Scene 3
And how about the mask that Romeo wears to the ball? That would be fun to draw (look on Google images for historical information for each of...]]></description>

I'm going to guess that you are supposed to draw and write about objects that have meaning for the story as a whole.  If I'm right, good.  If I'm wrong, sorry...
I would pick first a mask.  It would be the mask that Romeo wore to go to the ball at the Capulets.  The mask is important because it allowed...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The context here is that Romeo and his friends are headed to the ball at the Capulets'.
The quote you cite is one in which Romeo predicts that what will happen at the ball will shorten his life.  Of course, this premonition of his will come true because he will meet Juliet and his relationship with her will cause both their deaths.
When he makes this prediction, he refers to the "consequence haning in the stars" that you mention.  This...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The incident you are talking about occurs in Act V, Scene 1.
Balthasar comes from Verona to Romeo, who is in exile in Mantua.  His mission is to tell Romeo that Juliet is dead.  He tells Romeo that he has seen her buried in the Capulet family tomb.
Of course, Balthasar doesn't know that Juliet has just taken the potion that Friar Laurence suggested and is not really dead.  Romeo doesn't know that either, so he believes Balthasar.

        <description><![CDATA[In "Romeo and Juliet," it is ironic Lord Capulet, who himself has exemplified irrational and impetuous behavior in Act One when, seeing Lord Montague, he shouts for his "long sword" with which to slay his enemy, now in Act Three issues a speech of wisdom as he disparages the excessive emotion show upon the death of Tybalt:

        <description><![CDATA[It's not clear to me that Capulet is really referring to Juliet in this metaphor.  I think that the lines you quote aren't really about her, but are just general observations.
If he is referring to Juliet, he is comparing her to the weather, to the natural processes that make rain.  He is saying that natural sunset causes dew, but that the sunset (death) of his nephew (Tybalt) causes real rain (heavy tears).  So if he's referring to Juliet,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[If you think of love as a person's willingness to sacrifice for another's good and to put that person's well-being above his/her own good, then I don't think that Romeo and Juliet's love is true.  Romeo should have realized that he was causing Juliet great difficult with her family and that he was putting her life and happiness at risk by his actions.  If he truly loved Juliet, he might have stopped feeling sorry for himself and realized...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I would think that there is much to indicate that the play does focus on dislike more than love.  The backdrop is the intense rivalry between the Capulets and Montagues.  Not a single scene transpires in the play without this level of antagonism operating in the backdrop, constantly posing a vigil on individuals and one that is present in the interactions of the characters.  At the same time, much violence in terms of slayings and death...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The biggest problem here is defining true love.  You can argue that they truly love each other because of the fact that they would each rather die than live without the other.  But is that really what love is about?  Or would true love have tried harder to get their parents on board?  I think to answer the question, you'd really have to define what true love is, at least in your opinion.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[
Wow. That’s a great question, and I’m not sure how I would answer it. What I do know is that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet was not true love. It was more like the forbidden fruit--more appealing because of the conflict between the families. After all, they night before Romeo fell in "love" with Juliet, he was trying to win Rosaline his "love" at the moment. In fact, the friar initially chided Romeo for his rapidly changing...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The play Romeo and Juliet has two themes that rely on one another to create an understanding of the dynamics of relationships--the power of love and hate.  One could easily conceive that hatred is the stronger theme when looking at the tragic end that befalls the star crossed lovers.  The ongoing feud between the two lover’s families results in the youths making a decision that causes both families to loose their loved one to death. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[*Romeo* believes he is "Fortune's fool" and that he has no control over his life. In fact, in 1.4 after explaining how going to the party will mean his death, he concludes by saying "But he that hath the steerage of my course/Direct my sail. On, lusty gentlemen!" and off he goes to what he already believes will be his death.
What Romeo says, however, is not necessarily what Shakespeare wants his audience to believe.  We, as auditors of the...]]></description>
