Using at least three quotes from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet as evidence, describe the internal conflict felt by Juliet before she takes the Friar's vial of dubious poison. Ex. "A quote from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet" - This quote shows the internal conflict of Juliet before she takes the poison because.... "A quote from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet" - This quote shows the internal conflict of Juliet before she takes the poison because.... "A quote from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet" - This quote shows the internal conflict of Juliet before she takes the poison because.... Then in 3-4 sentences explain what you would have done in Juliet's situation. Would you have followed the Friar's plan? Would you have simply run away?

Answer and Explanation:

"Juliet- Oh! Close the door soon! And after you have closed it, come and cry with me too. There is no hope, no medicine, no help." This quote shows Juliet's internal conflict because she is on the eve of her marriage to Paris, and she is already married to Romeo.

"Juliet - Oh! Tell me to throw myself off the battlements of that tower, but in marriage to the count do not speak; or invite me to walk on the roads of robbers, or to hide in nests of snakes; tie me up with bears roars; in a ram you shut me up at night, full of human bones, [...] "This quote shows Juliet's internal conflict, because it shows that she would rather suffer than marry Paris.

"Juliet - [...] What if, after being in the grave, I wake up, without Romeo arriving to save me? Oh horrible case! I will not be asphyxiated inside the grave, whose filthy mouth does not breathe healthy air, and, thus, suffocated dying without my Romeo coming? Or if I live, it will not be very plausible that that image of blackness and death, associated with the dread of the point itself - a sepulcher, a ram where there are hundreds of my ancestors; since a little bloody Tebaldo, decomposing in his white shroud [...] "This quote shows Juliet's internal conflict because she fears that Romeo will not vape it or be afraid to enter the tomb, leaving her suffocated dying , slowly.

In Juliet's place, I would not have followed through with the Friar's plan, nor would I have run away. Since this was a completely dead end situation, I would tell my family that I had already married Romeo, that the marriage was already finished and there was nothing more to be done.
