What part of Romeo's seemingly happy dream foreshadows the tragic events to come?

English
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
6 0
This scene occurs near the end of the play, at the end of Act 5, Scene 1.

At this point in the play, Romeo has already been banished from Verona and has been staying in Mantua. He wakes in the morning and believes the dream he has just had is a good omen. He says "If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand."

When we learn the content of Romeo's dream, we cannot agree with him. He dreamed of Juliet, which is certainly nice. However, in his dream Romeo himself was dead! He says, "I dreamt my lady came and found me dead." 

Romeo interprets this dream as a positive one because in the dream Juliet "breathed such life with kisses in my lips That I revived." Here, he is saying that in his dream, Juliet found him dead but kissed him and brought him back to life. Although Romeo believes this dream is happy, it is actually foreshadowing what will happen in Act 5, Scene 3.

At this point, his cousin Balthasar arrives to tell him Juliet has died. What Romeo does not realize is that his dream WILL come true -- in a way. He will go to Juliet's tomb and kill himself. Juliet will waken shortly after his death and will kiss him. That's where the similarities end, however. Juliet's kiss will not bring Romeo back to life, and she will join him in death not long after.

And so, Romeo's seemingly happy dream actually foreshadows the tragic events to come.

puteri [66]

Answer:

In both stories, a strong hero loses his strength through the treachery of his wife, who is an enemy spy.

Explanation:

In the biblical story of Samson,his mother is instructed by God at his birth never to shave a hair from his head and he would have super strength to achieve what mere men could not achieve.

True to the words of God, Samson grew up having great strength because his hair was never shaved. He fell in love and married Delilah a Philistine who was sent to spy on him and discover the secret of his great strength so he can be subdued. Samson tells her his secret and he is subdued by his enemies.

In the story <em>Prince Louie, </em>when Louie was only just a child, his mother tells him that soon he would become King Louis of Forbush and she gave him a ring and asked him to wear it at all times and he would succeed in his royal duties.

Just as his mother said, he grew up to become a successful king, banishing his enemies and the kingdom having peace. He fell in love and married Anabellla of Gnarltree who unknown to him was a spy sent to find out the secret of his power. King Louis told her his secret was the ring and sge got the ring off and his kingdom was invaded.
