I mean, like, WHAT'S THE POINT? Juliet's parents make some weird potion to make her fall asleep then Juliet DOES fall asleep [duh] then Romeo sees her then kills HIMSELF then Juliet wakes up, sees her dead sweetheart, then kils herself. IS THAT POINTLESS OR WHAT????

Not necessarily pointless. Perhaps you have taken a dislike to Shakespeare's literature. It's okay to find it boring, but if it's an assignment try to focus. There is some meaning behind all these dialogues. If you have time study them and look deeper into the events taking place within the play itself. Shakespeare is a complicated, yet terrific writer.

The nurse in this story gives comic relief. When she came back with an answer from Romeo about where to meet for the wedding she pretends to be out of breath and tired to tease Juliet. She also provides laughs for Romeo and his friends. The nurse is pretty much Juliet's mother and knows how she feels about things and when she needs a laugh. We just finished reading a discussing this in our English class and that is the answer my teacher gave us for that question. Hope I helped.

Well think about it -- what is going on at this point? Hamlet's father has died and his mother is marrying his uncle "hard upon" the heels of his father's death. Now Horatio tells Hamlet that he saw his father's ghost. What does Hamlet do? What state of mind is he in right now? What relationship does he have with Horatio? What questions does he ask Horatio? Please re-read the scene. It's all there in black and white.

Okay, so here's the whole two-hour season finale in a nutshell: Tom is desperately trying to find Lynette, but she's well hidden in a hotel with the four Ps. Then a P breaks his arm and Lynette is forced to call Tom. In the hospital, he finally gets to explain his side of the story: apparently, he had a one-night stand with a woman twelve years ago, back before he met Lynette, and now it turns out that he has an eleven-year-old daughter. Lynette gamely agrees to meet the daughter and her mother, but only the mother shows up for the visit. Over lunch, the mother -- who is crazy -- screechingly demands that Tom back-pay eleven years' worth of child support. Lynette and Tom dig deep and manage to come up with a check for $30k, which the woman promptly uses for a down payment on a house in Fairview, surprise! Gabby begins to suspect that Carlos and Money are sleeping together, so she gets a doctor to check Money's oven and discovers that the once-immaculate virgin has turned whore. So then Gabby plants baby monitors all over the house and totally catches Carlos and Money in the act. Gabby makes the maid help her throw all Carlos's clothes out the window; then she screams at Carlos to go find somewhere else to live (even though, as Carlos is quick to point out, she'd given him permission to sleep around). When Money tries to leave, too, Gabby tells the maid that she isn't going anywhere -- not with Gabby's egg inside her, nope. Zana visits CreePaul in jail, and CreePaul bitchily commands him to go get money from Noah to pay for a fancy lawyer to help find a way out of Felicia's crazy finger trap. Zana begins to suspect that CreePaul maybe did kill Mrs. Huber, but nonetheless, he pays Noah a visit. Noah is barely hanging in there, yet he has just enough strength to manipulate Zana (by calling him chicken, basically) into turning off Noah's breathing machine. Now a cold-blooded murderer himself, and also a zillionaire, Zana completely turns his back on CreePaul -- stops visiting him, stops taking his calls. He also petulantly orders that the pond at Noah's house be filled in, huh? The newly independent Susan gets an RV so that she and Julie have a place to stay while their blackened house gets rebuilt. Mike is so impressed with Susan's hot display of a backbone that he races out and buys her a wedding ring. Unfortuconveniently, Karl spots Mike browsing in the jewelry shop. Karl, in a pique of calculated jealousy, races out and buys Susan and Julie a house. When the apparently-not-so-independent Susan accepts the house gift, Mike is so disappointed that he punches Karl. In the tussle, Mike's tooth gets chipped, and Susan sends him to Kyle McOrsonlan for some tooth-doctoring. McOrsonlan comments that Mike's mouth is full of prison dentistry, which gets Mike thinking that he recognizes McOrsonlan from somewhere, perhaps from prison? McOrsonlan hastily denies the connection. Meanwhile, Susan, who picked up on the fact that Mike was fixing to propose to her, decides to pop the question herself. She hearts-to-hearts with Karl, and -- using the "if you love someone, set them free" argument -- she gets him to sign the divorce papers. Then she invites Mike to a big romantic dinner. On his way to dinner, Mike stops to get flowers, and as he's crossing the street, a mysterious red car completely mows him down. And the driver? None other than the dark dentist McOrsonlan! Caleb gets arrested, and he immediately confesses to the murder of Melanie Foster. Down at the station, the police show Betty the crime-scene photos of Melanie's body, which the murderer had covered with his jacket. Betty recognizes the jacket; it belonged to Matthew, not Caleb -- meaning Matthew is the murderer! Betty leaves a message for Bree, who's still off on her self-imposed mental-health retreat (where, incidentally, it turns out Kyle McOrsonlan comes thrice-weekly to visit a catatonic woman in

It's been a long time since i read this but i'll try to help.  1. It means she lay down beside him after he was already dead and she was old.  So She perhaps killed him to keep him with her forever 2. I don't remember, sorry 3.  I don't know for sure but i think that would give way too much away. We are left to guess at what is going on 4. When Emily bought the rat poison and when the house smelled so bad they had to put lye around it 5. your on your own here 6. He was poor and happy and she was rich and very sheltered and unhappy and wierd.  It's basically saying money isn't all it's made out to be. In this town they seem to understand that titles aren't everything 7. She's sad and deluded but she is doing what she thinks is right.  \nI haven't read this in so long that my answers are probably quite wrong, check them with someone else first if you decide to use the ones I could remember.   This is a pretty disgusting story.  I don't really know why teachers asign it.  Good luck!

Well, I can always say just play the game, but that would be to long. Anyway, no they are not dead. What happen is that the little girl that Rose's daughter look at took possession of her and enters her subconscious mind. \nWhen they actually returned to the home they are still in the other world. The game will actually explain everything.

It is a mystery story. You are trying to put together the pieces of this supposed haunting. I haven't read the book, but I saw the play. It was awful.

I'm not sure if you mean scene four, but when the the Nurse is going to tell Romeo to meet Juliet later, the three characters are in a rowdy and "manly" mood, which they express by joking about women and sex.  This becomes embarrassing for the Nurse, who becomes part of their jokes.

No, I don't think they are crazy. Certainly, they have been segregated from society for so long that they may appear crazy. Maybe Ben though-he does seem to be a bit of a sociopath. I don't know what they want, but I hope we get an explanation soon. Juliet is a fertility doctor. They took the kids from the tailies, Alex, and tried to take Aaron, Claire's baby. That would make me think they maybe can't reproduce and want the children to carry on their society. But then why did they take Sawyer and Kate? I think maybe they are leftovers from the Dharma Project, still carrying on some of the psychological and physical experiments started by Dharma. They've certainly been messing with the survivors heads.\n\nI dunno, but I LOVE LOST! :) If you do too, you should come join us at http://www.lost-forum.com

Ok, I will help - but I will not give you the answers, that's not help.  If the Shakespearean-era language is difficult to get through, I suggest checking out a noted version of the play (Penguin Publishing has some excellent, quite affordable paperback versions) to help you understand who's saying what.  You might also try to find a full production of the play or a video version. (Zeffirelli's is visually stunning, but leaves out a lot of the by-play.  The newer version with DiCaprio & what's-her-name is visually odd, but leaves in more of the dialogue.  Most libraries also will have the odd BBC or Canadian production in their media library, and these are usually complete dialogue without anything too extreme in the way of visuals.)\n\n1. Think about social conventions of the time - Juliet is a young, unmarried but highly marriageable woman.  Also, think about any parents' natural reaction if they were to find their daughter in the company of any young man - especially if that young man was a member of a family you hated.\n\n2 & 4 are very closely related.  Think about modern divorce rates in marriages that are made quickly - then think about a society where annulments were possible but difficult and divorce as such was not really an option.\n\n3. Reread the scene, and think about Juliet being a young woman besotted, while the nurse is somewhat of a doddering old lady who tends to ramble on and on and on (and some of her lines do amount to Elizabethan toilet humour, by the way).\n\n5.  Think about the purpose of a foil.  Mercutio & Nurse are both close to the main characters, and marginally involved/possibly condoning their behaviours.  Pick out a few key points in the act and you should have no trouble getting 8 to 10 sentences.  For example, do these characters encourage this lovelorn behaviour between the main characters? How? Why?\n\nPersonal sidenote/pet peeve about this play: Why does everyone perform the Queen Mab speech as though it's a huge dramatic foreshadowing?  It is, even the densest people grasp that after seeing the play once - but keep in mind Mercutio's playful, sarcastic character - why on earth would he of a sudden burst into this long prophetic rant?  I've gotten a few people to read it as a mocking, sarcastic sort of monologue, and have been far more pleased with it...

Naaah - I think that when someone dies unexpectedly or by their own hand, and who's as famous as Kurt (or, say Elvis) there's so much mystery and rumour around their death that it just never ever goes away.  Besides the fact that Courtney's no shrinking violet.  I just don't see her being THAT messed up as to help something like that.  I believe she truly didn't know he was going to do it.

What you saw was a dream--or simpler, a hallucination! The beginning of the episode, you see House get shot, and then he wakes up in ICU (or so we think at that time..)! The man who shot him is beside him chained up in a bed, and the whole episode he's trying to figure out if he's hallucinating or not. What is stranger, is that his leg doesn't hurt, and he isn't in pain! Cutty then explains she tried a new experimental drug, and that there was a 50-50 chance he'd never hurt again! You think it's awesome and that it worked--until he starts forgetting things and seeing people that aren't there. The whole time, him and his team are trying to figure out what is wrong with the swollen tongue guy, when House finally tells them to start an operation. Well, House is convinced he's losing his mind (after the guy who shot him got into his head by talking all philosophically with him), and he charges into the operating room, saying "If I am not hallucinating, then this man will not die!" Well, we see House rip open the man's insides with the robot, and then you see his pulse drop to 0 on the monitor--and he dies. For about a minute you are left thinking that House is truly insane--until the swollen tongue guy's hand opens up, and a bullet falls from it. Suddenly, you see House being rushed on a gurney down the halls of the hospital--and you realize he had JUST been shot--and everything that had happened that day was a dream/hallucination, and he never killed the man. You see the gunshot wound, and there is TONS of blood escaping. Weakly, he tells his team to "Tell Cutty to use the medicine (the same stuff that was used in his hallucination to stop his leg from hurting) for my leg!" and then he closes his eyes and faints from blood lose--thus ending the episode on a cliffhanger!! Does he die?! Probably not--but will he awake having been given the medicine, and will his leg be ok in real life?! We shall see..! GREAT episode--and hope that helps some! =)

*conflict- many instances of conflicts in this play. Montagues vs. capulets, mercutio vs. tybalt, romeo vs. paris and many more!!!!!\n     *climax- the point of the story where everything is exciting, everything is glorious, great, or magnificent! everything goes downhill from there. i think theclimax is either in the balcony scene or the party.\n     *falling action- secret wedding and after.\n     *resolution- either romeo and juliet's death, romeo's banishment, when romeo buys the poison (?), or when Juliet makes plans with friar lawerence (?)\n     *i know this isn't muc, but it's a starting point!!!!! my class just finished the romeo and juliet unit, so this stuff is fresh in my mind. i'm REALLY sry that i can't figure out the resolution, but if you've read the play thru, you should be able to choose one of these answers!!!!! good luck with your project and grades!!!!!

I recorded it and watched it this morning. I am assuming he has an enlarged heart and the doctor told him he has one year to live...but it took the whole damn show to drag it out. Just like the season premier when we FINALLY found out that Lucy lost the twins, even tho it was pretty obvious. Last nights was very cheesy, I thought, and it just seems like they are trying too hard. I loved that show, but they should have left well enough alone.

That is the "To be or not to be" scene, one of the most powerful of the play.  Should one live or should one die?  He makes the suggestion that the only reason one would not commit suicide is because of fear of the afterlife .... in other words the devil we know is better than the one we don't know.   Hamlet is wallowing in his grief in a sense, but also blaming others for it.  \n\nThere is so much more to this scene than just the dialogue that is spoken.  It addresses relationships between men and women, there is a philosophical debate about the afterlife,  and it makes us wonder what actually does constitute madness.   In this scene we think we know that Hamlet is only acting crazy, but this scene can make us question that because of how he treats Ophelia.  So at this point is Hamlet really crazy or is he just acting crazy?  His behavior toward Ophelia doesn't make sense. He seems angry at the world and at women in general and at Ophelia in particular.\n\nI hope this makes some sense to you and is of some help.

(spoiler)*\n\nshe kills herself, i'm not sure what happens after that becuase it's been a long time since I saw it.\n\nEDIT:\nSorry, the way you worded your question was unclear to me, but you can always go to the imdb site and ask people on the message boards about the ending, and some people have written out spoilers:\n\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381505/board/threads/

The song makes no sense. I don't see the point in it. The acting is WAYYYYY over the top. I thought I was watching a soap opera or something. I can't stand it or her.
