Chapter Summaries
Act V, Scene I
http://www.shmoop.com/event/literature/william-Shakespeare/romeo-and-juliet.html?getval=22
* In exile in Mantua, Romeo wakes up feeling good. He has just had a dream in which Juliet found him dead, but then kissed him back to life. (Foreshadowing…) * Romeo's servant Balthasar (ironically the name of a wise man in the New Testament) arrives with the news from Verona. There's no good way to say this: Juliet's dead. * Romeo asks him if there's any message from Friar Laurence, but Balthasar says, "No." * Romeo immediately decides that the only thing he can do is go to Juliet's grave and commit suicide there. He knows a poor apothecary who sells illegal drugs, including poisons. * He goes to said apothecary and convinces him to secretly sell him poison. Then he heads for Verona. Act V, Scene II

* Why didn't Romeo get the message Friar Laurence sent him? Because Friar Laurence sent the letter with his friend, Friar John, who was delayed due to an unfortunate mix-up. (Someone accidentally thought he had the plague). * Friar John comes back without having delivered the letter. Friar Laurence has a bad feeling about this. * He goes off to the tomb thinking he'll have to wake Juliet alone.
