Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Quotes

I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's retire.
The day is hot; the Capulets, abroad;
And if we meet we shall not 'scape a brawl,
For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.

And reason coldly of your grievances,
Or else depart. Here all eyes gaze on us.

Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford
No better term than this: thou art a villain.

Tybalt- Confronts Romeo and insults him.

Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee
Doth much excuse the appertaining rage
To such a greeting. Villain am I none.
Therefore, farewell. I see thou know'st me not.

Romeo- Refuses Tybalt's challenge and subtly hints that they are no family.

Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries
That thou hast done me. Therefore turn and draw.

Tybalt- Tybalt will not accept Romeo's peace offering.

As dearly as my own�be satisfied.

Romeo- Is begging Tybalt at this point not to fight. Again hints that they are now related.

A pl

Mercutio- Fatally wounded, but trying to shake it off as a joke, but he know's he's a dead man.

Now, Tybalt, take the "villain" back again
That late thou gavest me, for Mercutio's soul
Is but a little way above our heads,
Staying for thine to keep him company.
Either thou or I, or both, must go with him.

Romeo- Furiously seeking revenge for the death of Mercutio, and now accepts Tybalt's challange to a duel to the death.

Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here
Shalt with him hence.

Tybalt- Accepts Romeo's challenge and promises that Romeo will be killed and soon join Mercutio.

Romeo, away, be gone!
The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain.

If thou art taken. Hence, be gone, away!

Benvolio- Begging Romeo to flee the scene of the murder before the prince arrives.

For blood of ours shed blood of Montague.

Lady Capulet- Demanding that a Montague be put to death for the murder of her nephew, Tybalt.

Benvolio, who began this bloody fray?

Prince Escalus- Turns to Benvolio for the truth about what led to the fight.

And, as he fell, did Romeo turn and fly.
This is the truth, or let Benvolio die.

Benvolio- Promising the Prince that what he has said about the fight is true, and if it isn't he is willing to be put to death.

He is a kinsman to the Montague.
Affection makes him false. He speaks not true.
Some twenty of them fought in this black strife,
And all those twenty could but kill one life.
I beg for justice, which thou, Prince, must give.
Romeo slew Tybalt. Romeo must

Lady Capulet- Upset that her nephew has been murdered demanding the death of Romeo and even lies about the events of the fight.

Romeo slew him; he slew Mercutio.
Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe?

Prince Escalus-Frustrated that he has two murders and one living murderer to deal with.

Not Romeo, Prince, he was Mercutio's friend.
His fault concludes but what the law should end,
The life of Tybalt.

Lord Montague- Explaining to the prince that Romeo deserves mercy, because Romeo only did what the Prince was going to do: kill Tybalt.

And for that offence
Immediately we do exile him hence...
I will be deaf to pleading and excuses.
Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses,
Therefore use none. Let Romeo hence in haste,
Else, when he's found, that hour is his last.

Prince Escalus- Exiles Romeo and tells everyone to be silent.

Give me my Romeo. And when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Oh, I have bought the mansion of a love,
But

Juliet- Does not know that Romeo and killed her cousin. She's impatiently waiting for her honeymoon night with Romeo.

O serpent heart hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical!
Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamb!
Despis�d substance of divinest show,
Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st.
A damn�d saint,

Juliet- Furious with Romeo for killing Tybalt. Describes him as a fake and hypocrite.

There's no trust,
No faith, no honesty in men. All perjured,
All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.
Ah, where's my man?�Give me some aqua vitae.�
These griefs, these woes, these sorrows make me old.
Shame come to Romeo!

Nurse- Slams Romeo in front of Juliet for being awful like all men.

Blistered be thy tongue
For such a wish! He was not born to shame.
Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit...
Oh, what a beast was I to chide at him!

Juliet- Scolds the nurse for scolding Romeo and defends her husband.

Will you speak well of him that killed your cousin?

Nurse- Questions Juliet as to why she would defend Romeo who murdered her cousin Tybalt.

Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?
Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name,
When I, thy three hours' wife, have mangled it?

Juliet- Justifies why she is defending Romeo for slaying Tybalt.

Hie to your chamber. I'll find Romeo
To comfort you. I wot well where he is.
Hark ye, your Romeo will be here at night.
I'll to him. He is hid at Lawrence' cell.

Nurse- Tells Juliet to go to her room and prepare for Romeo's arrival.

O, find him! Give this ring to my true knight,
And bid him come to take his last farewell.

Juliet- Begs the nurse to track down Romeo and give him her ring.

A gentler judgment vanished from his lips:
Not body's death, but body's banishment.

Friar Lawrence-Telling Romeo that the Price has banished him in lieu of call for his execution.

Ha, banishment! Be merciful, say "death,"
For exile hath more terror in his look,
Much more than death. Do not say "banishment.

Romeo-Upset that he has been banished.

There is no world without Verona walls
But purgatory, torture, hell itself.
Hence "banish�d" is banished from the world,
And world's exile is death. Then "banish�d,"
Is death mistermed. Calling death "banishment,"
Thou cutt'st my head off with a golden ax

Romeo- Whining ungratefully that he has been banished instead of put to death.

O deadly sin! O rude unthankfulness!
Thy fault our law calls death, but the kind Prince,
Taking thy part, hath rushed aside the law,
And turned that black word "death" to "banishment."
This is dear mercy, and thou seest it not.

Friar Lawrence- Scolds Romeo for being ungrateful for the Prince's mercy.

O holy Friar, O, tell me, holy Friar,
Where is my lady's lord? Where's Romeo?

Nurse- Asking Friar Lawrence where she can find Romeo.

Hold thy desperate hand.
Art thou a man?..
Thou hast amazed me...
...rouse thee, man! Thy Juliet is alive,
For whose dear sake thou wast but lately dead�
There art thou happy. Tybalt would kill thee,
But thou slew'st Tybalt�there art thou happy.
The law t

Friar Lawrence- Stops Romeo from killing himself and chews out Romeo for being an impulsive fool.

Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed.
Ascend her chamber, hence, and comfort her.
But look thou stay not till the watch be set,
For then thou canst not pass to Mantua,
Where thou shalt live, till we can find a time
To blaze your marriage, reconcile yo

Friar Lawrence- Tells Romeo to comfort Juliet, but leave for Mantua before the sun rises.

These times of woe afford no time to woo.
Madam, good night. Commend me to your daughter.

Paris- Disappointed that he can't see Juliet. Thinks Juliet is upset over the death of Tybalt.

Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender
Of my child's love. I think she will be ruled
In all respects by me. Nay, more, I doubt it not.�
Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed.
Acquaint her here of my son Paris' love,
And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesd

Lord Capulet- Tells Paris that he will rush his marriage to Juliet.

My lord, I would that Thursday were tomorrow.

Paris- So happy that he gets to marry Juliet that he wishes Thursday were the next day.

Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day.
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear.
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate tree.
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.

Juliet- Begging Romeo to stay in bed, trying to convince Romeo that it's not the morning yet.

Yon light is not daylight, I know it, I.
It is some meteor that the sun exhales
To be to thee this night a torchbearer,
And light thee on thy way to Mantua.
Therefore stay yet. Thou need'st not to be gone.

Juliet- Trying to convince Romeo that it's still evening so he doesn't have to leave.

Let me be ta'en. Let me be put to death.
I am content, so thou wilt have it so...
I have more care to stay than will to go.
Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so.�
How is 't, my soul? Let's talk. It is not day.

Romeo- Jokingly says he's willing to die if it means he can stay with Juliet.

Oh, think'st thou we shall ever meet again?

Juliet- Wonders if she will ever see Romeo again.

O God, I have an ill-divining soul.
Methinks I see thee now, thou art so low
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb.
Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.

Juliet- Notices that Romeo is so sad that he looks pale, so pale that he looks dead (Foreshadowing!!!).

We will have vengeance for it, fear thou not.
Then weep no more. I'll send to one in Mantua,
Where that same banished runagate doth live,
Shall give him such an unaccustomed dram
That he shall soon keep Tybalt company.
And then, I hope, thou wilt be satis

Lady Capulet- Promising Juliet that she will hire someone to kill Romeo in Mantua for killing Tybalt.

Well, well, thou hast a careful father, child.
One who, to put thee from thy heaviness,
Hath sorted out a sudden day of joy
That thou expect'st not, nor I looked not for...
Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn,
The gallant, young, and noble gentleman

Lady Capulet- Telling Juliet that she has a wise and loving father that has decided to rush her marriage to Paris.

Now, by Saint Peter's Church and Peter too,
He shall not make me there a joyful bride...
I pray you, tell my lord and father, madam,
I will not marry yet. And when I do, I swear
It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate,
Rather than Paris. These are news in

Juliet- Furious that her father wants to marry her to Paris and refuses her father's offer.

�How now, wife?
Have you delivered to her our decree?

Lord Capulet- Asking Lady Capulet if she has told Juliet the "good news.

How, will she none? Doth she not give us thanks?
Is she not proud? Doth she not count her blessed,
Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought
So worthy a gentleman to be her bride?

Lord Capulet- Fruious that Juliet refuses to marry Paris, even though Paris is a good catch.

Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!
I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday,
Or never after look me in the face.
Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me.
My fingers itch.-Wife, we scarce thought us blest
That God had lent us but this onl

Lord Capulet- Furious with Juliet and threatns banishment if she does not marry Paris.

O sweet my mother, cast me not away!
Delay this marriage for a month, a week.
Or, if you do not, make the bridal bed
In that dim monument where Tybalt lies.

Juliet- Turns to the mother for help in delaying her marriage to Paris, and threatens suicide.

Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word.
Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.

Lady Capulet- Refuses to help Juliet and ignores her threat of suicide.

O God!�O Nurse, how shall this be prevented?..
What sayst thou? Hast thou not a word of joy?
Some comfort, Nurse.

Juliet- Turns to the nurse for guidance and help.

I think it best you married with the county.
Oh, he's a lovely gentleman.
Romeo's a dishclout to him...
I think you are happy in this second match,
For it excels your first. Or if it did not,
Your first is dead, or 'twere as good he were,
As living here a

Nurse-Encourages Juliet to marry Paris, and tells her to abandon her husband.

Go in, and tell my lady I am gone,
Having displeased my father, to Lawrence's cell
To make confession and to be absolved.

Juliet- Sarcasticly thanks the nurse for her advice and tells her that she is going to see Friar Lawrence to make confession.

I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's retire.
The day is hot; the Capulets, abroad;
