Romeo and Juliet

…

…seek absolution. Her final words, "If all else fail, myself have power to die." In this scene Juliet shows herself to be a character willing to die rather than submit to her parents concerning the marriage to Count Paris. By speaking these words to end Act Three, the audience is cued to Juliet's dramatic dilemma and one solution, and drawn back to the next act to find the answer. Another powerful, well-developed Act. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
