What specific views and values does Romeo from Romeo and Juliet express in key conservations?
From Shmoop Literature on Romeo and Juliet http://www.shmoop.com/character/literature/william-shakespeare/romeo-and-juliet/juliet.html The Juliet who sighs at the beginning of the balcony scene that Romeo would be perfect if only he weren't a Montague is not the same Juliet who tells Romeo, wonderingly, "My bounty is as boundless as the sea / My love as deep. The more I give to you / the more I have, for both are infinite" (2.2.140-142). The most intense moments of Juliet's transformation take place in the course of a single scene: Act III, Scene ii. Juliet opens the scene with the showstopper monologue, "Gallop apace you fiery-footed steeds." Juliet's impatience for the night to come and for Romeo to arrive shifts into excitement and apprehension as she anticipates being intimate with her husband. She is both joyous and jittery. http://www.shmoop.com/quote/literature/william-shakespeare/romeo-and-juliet/love.html Here is one quote but there are a bunch of others on the Quotes and thoughts pages. ROMEO O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? JULIET ... What satisfaction canst thou have to-night? ROMEO The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine. JULIET I gave thee mine before thou didst request it: And yet I would it were to give again. ROMEO Wouldst thou withdraw it? for what purpose, love? JULIET But to be frank, and give it thee again. And yet I wish but for the thing I have: My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite. (2.2.132-142) Thought: Juliet is hesitant to let their love develop so quickly, but Romeo convinces her that she should embrace her feelings.
How does the play Romeo and Juliet end?
In Mantua, Romeo's servant Balthasar arrives and tells Romeo that Juliet is dead. Romeo vows to see Juliet in her tomb and poison himself there, buying the poison from a poor Apothecary who illegally sells it to Romeo only because he (the Apothecary) needs the money. At Lawrence's cell, Friar John reports he could not deliver the letter to Romeo since he (John) got stuck in a quarantined house while searching for Romeo. Friar Lawrence heads to the cemetery with a crowbar. At the tomb, Paris and his page arrive and Paris mourns Juliet's death. Paris hides when he hears Romeo and Balthasar approach. Romeo orders Balthasar to leave him alone, no matter what he hears. When Romeo opens the tomb, Paris steps out and tries to stop him by provoking him to fight. Romeo entreats Paris to simply walk away and not fight, but Paris forces Romeo to fight him, resulting in Romeo slaying Paris. In sorrow, Romeo lays Paris in the tomb, while Paris' page secretly leaves to call the watch. Romeo finds Juliet and mourns her death, then drinks his poison and dies. Outside the tomb, Friar Lawrence arrives and meets Balthasar who tells the Friar that Romeo has been in the tomb for one half hour. Lawrence enters the tomb and finds Romeo and Paris dead. Juliet then awakes and spots Romeo. The Friar, upon hearing noises outside flees, leaving Juliet with Romeo. Juliet tries to kill herself with Romeo's poison, but can find none, either in the vial or on Romeo's lips. In desperation, she stabs herself with Romeo's dagger. The watch arrives, having found Balthasar and the Friar. The Prince and Lord and Lady Capulet arrive and learn Paris, Romeo, and Juliet are dead (amazingly to them, Juliet seems to have been alive, and then newly dead again). Lord Montague arrives and reports that his wife has died from grief over Romeo's exile, then learns himself of Romeo's death. Capulet and Montague make peace and swear to never fight again. They vow to build solid gold statues of Romeo and Juliet and place them side by side so all can remember their plight. The short form: Romeo and Juliet both kill themselves and their parents decide to reconcile as a result.
Who is the last person to see Juliet before she stabs herself dead?
In Act V, Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence learns that his letter to Romeo - which was to let Romeo know that Juliet was not really dead - never reached its intended receiver. Laurence rushes to Juliet's tomb so that she will not awaken alone in her tomb.Unfortunately, he does not get there in time. When Friar Laurence reaches the tomb in Scene 3, Romeo has slain Paris and poisoned himself. While he looks on aghast, Juliet awakes and asks for Romeo. Laurence quickly explains that their plan did not work, and that both Romeo and Paris are dead. He implores her to leave the tomb, saying that he will "dispose of thee / Among a sisterhood of holy nuns." Overcome by sorrow, Juliet sends him away and kills herself soon afterward. Thus, a strict interpretation of the text reveals that Friar Laurence was the last person to see Juliet alive. However, another interpretation is possible. After the Friar exits, Juliet discovers the empty cup of poison in Romeo's hand. Hoping that some of the poison still lingers on Romeo's lips to take her life as well, Juliet declares "I will kiss thy lips. / Haply some poison yet doth hang on them / To make me die with a restorative." She then kisses him and exclaims, "Thy lips are warm!" Some have interpreted this exclamation to mean that Romeo, though poisoned, has not yet died. The poisoned Romeo, aroused by Juliet's kiss, opens his eyes to find that she is alive, but succumbs to the poison soon thereafter. Thus, Romeo becomes the last to see Juliet alive, just moments before his own tragic end. taken from http://www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/Section/Who-was-the-last-person-to-see-Juliet-alive-.id-305403,articleId-63964.html

Who is narrator of shakespeares Othello?
Shakespeare's Othello has no narrator. Some of his plays, such as Romeo and Juliet or Henry V have what is called a chorus who opens each act with a description of what is to come. The Chorus in Romeo and Juliet describes the plot of the entire play in his famous opening speech. In Henry IV the Prologue is Rumour, bringing false news to the Percy family. Comedies like Midsummer Night's Dream and As You Like It have epilogues spoken by one of the characters. None of these is a true narrator who comments on the action we see on the stage. The only Shakespearean play with a narrator is Pericles. In conclusion, Othello has no chorus, prologue, or epilogue, and definitely no narrator.
