can someone give me a short summary of act 5 of romeo and juliet but from romeos perspective please ? QUICKLY
Simora [160]

Answer:

On Wednesday morning, on a street in Mantua, a cheerful Romeo describes a wonderful dream he had the night before: Juliet found him lying dead, but she kissed him, and breathed new life into his body. Just then, Balthasar enters, and Romeo greets him happily, saying that Balthasar must have come from Verona with news of Juliet and his father. Romeo comments that nothing can be ill in the world if Juliet is well. Balthasar replies that nothing can be ill, then, for Juliet is well: she is in heaven, found dead that morning at her home. Thunderstruck, Romeo cries out, “Then I defy you, stars”

He tells Balthasar to get him pen and paper (with which he writes a letter for Balthasar to give to Montague) and to hire horses, and says that he will return to Verona that night. Balthasar says that Romeo seems so distraught that he is afraid to leave him, but Romeo insists. Romeo suddenly stops and asks if Balthasar is carrying a letter from Friar Lawrence. Balthasar says he is not, and Romeo sends his servant on his way. Once Balthasar is gone, Romeo says that he will lie with Juliet that night.

Slaughterhouses do occasionally reclaim their lost property, says Dobnik, but returning animals are "rare" (8). Why would that l
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Slaughterhouses are used for meat production, otherwise known as butchery.

Explanation:

Returning an animal to a previous owner is unlikely given the purpose of slaughterhouses. Those who work in slaughterhouses make their living from butchering animals, which they typically pay money for. Returning an animal would be losing profits, both from the initial investment and the future retail.
