Romeo and Juliet act iv - scene 4 - what is happening in this brief scene?

What impulsive dicision does Lord Capulet make to help Juliet overcome her grief for Tybalt's?

Remember folks. When you ask a question, be as precise and accurate as possible. This question, from Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET (apparently) is difficult to comprehend. Decision concerning what? Also, the location of "act scene iv" remains vague. Do you mean Act IV scene 4? I can only surmise, but I suspect that this question is asking "What decision concerning Juliet does Lord Capulet make in Act IV scene 4?" It is in this scene that Lord Capulet decides to arrange a marriage for his daughter with Paris. Recall that earlier in the play Capulet told Paris to wait at least "two more summers" before Juliet would be "ripe to be a bride." But in this scene of Act IV we see the change of mind. It's a feature of ROMEO & JULIET that every major character makes a spontaneous "change of mind" or "moment of decision" that seems unaccountable for any logical reason. This is that moment for Lord Capulet. He expects that Juliet will be "ruled" by him (that is, will appreciate what he does). But, boy! is he wrong! Note that Capulet sets the wedding up for Thursday (in this play which begins on a Sunday morning). Later on he will actually rush the wedding ahead one day, to Wednesday. But at the end of IV,4 the wedding is arranged for Thursday of that mid July week. Hope this helps. --CLV

What happens breifly in scene four of Romeo and Juliet?

I hope this helps; I just did a quick overview in each scene of the Act (IV). In Scene I of Act IV: Friar Laurence meets with Paris and they talk, before Juliet interrupts. Paris leaves and Juliet weeps to the Friar about her marriage that is being planned with Paris, and she ask for help from the Friar. The Friar gives her a potion that will make her appear to be dead. Their plan after this was supposed to go as follows: she will not have to be married, her family will bury her, and Romeo will come and rescue her. At this point in their plan they would reveal what they had done, to their families. In Scene II of Act IV: Juliet goes to her father to apologize about how she did not want to marry Paris, and how she had made a big scene. Her father accepts her apology, and moves up the wedding by one day. (This plays a big part, as it messes up the Friar's plan to tell Romeo to rescue Juliet from the burial chamber in time.) In Scene III of Act IV: Juliet ponders what will happen when she drinks the potion, and what it will be like when she is put in the burial chamber (Will Romeo not come in time, or will the ghost and demons of Tybalt and her other family members haunt her.) She does not want to marry Paris, so if the potion does not work she plans to kill herself with a dagger. At the end of the scene she drinks the potion. In Scene IV of Act IV: The family is getting ready for the wedding. Lady Capulet tells the Nurse to wake up Juliet. In Scene V of Act IV: The Nurse and the Family discover Juliet, and believe that she is dead. The Friar (who knows the truth) and Paris find out soon after. All of the flowers, food, and preparations from Juliet and Paris's wedding have been moved to be used for her funeral.

Who is the first to tell Friar Lawrence that Juliet is to marry Paris?

Paris, at the very beginning of Act IV.

When was Juliet engaged to marry Paris?

In Act III Scene IV, by her father without first consulting her.

In Act IV why does the Nurse scold Capulet?

Capulet goes really overboard in demanding that Juliet marry Paris. He has foolishly given a promise to Paris that she will do so and now does not want to look like the fool he is. Of course when people know they are wrong, they really cannot take criticism, and this is true of Capulet. And you know the Nurse; she cannot keep her mouth shut. So she criticises him.

How does Juliet insult herself to Paris in scene 1?

In Act IV Scene 1 Juliet meets Paris at the Friar's cell. Paris says "Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears." She's been crying, he perceives (probably because he has been told as much by Capulet; Paris would not notice it if she had grown a second head). Juliet says, "The tears have got small victory by that, for it was bad enough before their spite." According to her, the marks of crying cannot make her uglier than she was.

How does Shakespeare prepared you for Capulet's reaction in ealier scenes of the play?

Shakespeare does not prepare us for Capulet's towering rage in Act IV in earlier parts of the play. In his Act I conversation with Paris he makes clear that he has no intention of forcing Juliet to marry, yet in Act IV there he is doing just what he said he would not.

What involvement has Paris had with Juliet up to this point?

Well, it would help to know what point you are talking about. But basically the answer is that if it is anywhere before Act IV Scene 1, Paris has had no involvement with Juliet. But if it is anywhere after that scene, Paris has spoken nine lines to Juliet. That's all.

What is Capulets second answer to paris?

At first he insists that Juliet is too young and suggests that Paris wait two years, saying, Let two more summers wither in their pride/Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. After all, Juliet is only thirteen years old. ... Later in the play, in Act III, Scene 4, Capulet totally changes his mind.
