1. Summarize Romeo's last soliloquy in scene iii.
Romeo's last soliloquy in act 5 scene 3 is where romeo is depressed because he thinks Juliet is dead and that he would kill himself so he could be with her
How often are men happy right before they die! They call it the lightness before death. Oh, how can I call this lightness? Oh, my love! My wife! Death has sucked the honey from your breath, but it has not yet ruined your beauty. You haven’t been conquered. There is still red in your lips and in your cheeks. Death has not yet turned them pale. Tybalt, are you lying there in your bloody death shroud? Oh, what better favor can I do for you than to kill the man who killed you with the same hand that made you die young. Forgive me, cousin! Ah, dear Juliet, why are you still so beautiful? Should I believe that death is in love with you, and that the awful monster keeps you here to be his mistress? I don’t like that idea, so I’ll stay with you. And I will never leave this tomb. Here, here I’ll remain with worms that are your chamber-maids. Oh, I’ll rest here forever. I’ll forget about all the bad luck that has troubled me. Eyes, look out for the last time! Arms, make your last embrace! And lips, you are the doors of breath. Seal with a righteous kiss the deal I have made with death forever. (ROMEO kisses JULIET and takes out the poison) Come, bitter poison, come, unsavory guide! You desperate pilot, let’s crash this sea-weary ship into the rocks! Here’s to my love!
ROMEO drinks the poison.
Oh, that pharmacist was honest! His drugs work quickly. So I die with a kiss.
2. Are fate or the characters mor respossible for the outcome of the play? Explain.
I think it's mostly fate because they met at a Capulet party, and Romeo is a Montague who was at the time their enemy. Also the fact how they didn't know who each other were has to deal with fate, how fast they fell in love, and how many ups and downs they had encountered in their short time of knowing each other.
b. Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew,--
O woe! thy canopy is dust and stones;--Which with sweet water nightly I will dew,Or, wanting that, with tears distill'd by moans:The obsequies that I for thee will keep Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep.
is dead.
c. Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath,Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yetIs crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,And death's pale flag is not advanced there.
Romeo says this, he's saying this to Juliet when shes in the tomb, he sees that she doesn't look dead and the irony is she isn't dead she looks like shes alive.

d. Thus with a kiss I die.
Romeo says this, he says this when he takes the poison and kisses Juliet when shes "dead" in the tomb. It was the last thing that he did before he died.
e. What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,To make die with a restorative.
Juliet says this, When she wakes up she see romeo dead and there's a poison bottle in his hand, she kisses him to see if there is any poison left on his lips for her but there isnt
f. Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!
This is thy sheath
