Be familiar with the following passage from Act I, Scene i
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. 5
Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fi re, sick health! 10
Still-waking 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? 15
BENVOLIO:
At thy good heart’s transgression.
ROMEO:
Why, such is love’s transgression.
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest
With more of thine. This love that thou hast shown 20
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Love is a smoke rais’d with the fume of sighs;
Being purg’d, a fi re sparkling in lovers’ eyes;
Being vex’d, a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet, 25
A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
Farewell, my coz.

Be familiar with the following passage from Act II, Scene iii
Enter Friar Laurence alone, with a basket.
FRIAR:
The grey-ey’d morn smiles on the frowning night,
Check’ring the Eastern clouds with streaks of light;
And flecked darkness like a drunkard reels
From forth day’s path and Titan’s fiery wheels.
Now, ere the sun advance his burning eye 5
The day to cheer and night’s dank dew to dry,
I must up-fill this osier cage of ours
With baleful weeds and precious-juiced flowers.
The earth that’s nature’s mother is her tomb.
What is her burying grave, that is her womb; 10
And from her womb children of divers kind
We sucking on her natural bosom find;
Many for many virtues excellent,
None but for some, and yet all different.
O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies 15
In plants, herbs, stones, and their true qualities;
For naught so vile that on the earth doth live
But to the earth some special good doth give;
Nor aught so good, but, strain’d from that fair use,
Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse. 20
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied,
And vice sometime’s by action dignified.
Within the infant rind of this small flower
Poison hath residence, and medicine power;
For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part; 25
Being tasted, slays all senses with the heart.
Two such opposed kings encamp them still
In man as well as herbs—grace and rude will;
And where the worser is predominant,
Full soon the canker death eats up that plant. 30

Laurence makes the point that all living things have what qualities?
34. How might the Friar’s monologue be prophetic?
35. According to the passage, what happens when evil is predominant in a living being?
36. What effect is created by the Friar’s speaking in couplets?
37. From this soliloquy, what can one conclude about the Friar’s character?
The following questions pertain to the play in general rather than a particular passage.
38. In Act I, Scene v, why is Capulet a dramatic foil for Tybalt at his party?
39. What literary device is being used in the following lines: “You have dancing shoes/With
nimble soles; I have a soul of lead/So stakes me to the ground I cannot move”?

show!”

“Follower”
By Seamus Heaney
My father worked with a horse plough,
His shoulders globed like a full sail strung
Between the shafts and the furrow.
The horse strained at his clicking tongue.
An expert. He would set the wing
And fit the bright-pointed sock.
The sod rolled over without breaking.
At the headrig, with a single pluck
Of reins, the sweating team turned round
And back into the land. His eye

Narrowed and angled at the ground,
Mapping the furrow exactly.
I stumbled in his hobnailed wake,
Fell sometimes on the polished sod;
Sometimes he rode me on his back
Dipping and rising to his plod.
I wanted to grow up and plough,
To close one eye, stiffen my arm.
All I ever did was follow
In his broad shadow around the farm.

I was a nuisance, tripping, falling,
Yapping always. But today
It is my father who keeps stumbling
Behind me, and will not go away.
“Metaphor”
by Eve Merriam
Morning is
a new sheet of paper
for you to write on.
Whatever you want to say,
all day, until night
folds it up and files it away.
The bright words and the dark words
are gone
until dawn
and a new day
to write on.
