1) "Oh, I am fortune's fool
Romeo cries out these words when the full impact of what he has just done, and the consequences to be suffered, strikes him. His secret marriage to Juliet of the Capulet family, his own family's sworn enemy, had earlier prevented him from accepting the challenge of a duel made by Tybalt, Juliet's cousin. Romeo's friend Mercutio cannot stand by and watch Tybalt degrade Romeo, and so he takes up the sword, but is fatally wounded. In a dizzying cloud of grief, Romeo picks up his sword and attacks Tybalt ferociously, killing him. It is when Tybalt falls dead that Romeo realizes what he has done. He also knows he will now be executed (or banished) by the Prince, who had decreed that there would be no more battle between the Capulets and the Montagues.

2) But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."
Romeo Montague has climbed the orchard gate onto the property of the Capulets, his family's dire enemy. He has met Juliet at a party and is now madly in love with her. Hiding in the shadows of the garden below, he waits to catch a glimpse of his love, and in this scene a light goes on in her window and she appears on the balcony, unaware that Romeo is below. Romeo quietly expresses his love (comparing her to the rising sun) and his delight in her unexpected appearance, but does not reveal himself for some time as Juliet, believing herself alone, begins to speak.

3)O true apothecary!
Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die."
With these words, Romeo dies in this story of doomed love. The lovers, belonging to families of Verona long at war with each other, have secretly married and wish to run away. Juliet, with the help of Friar Laurence, has taken a potion that allows her to feign death, planning to wake up and run off with her Romeo. Unfortunately, through a series of misunderstandings, Romeo believes Juliet is really dead, and so buys poison from an apothecary. Standing over her body in the crypt, Romeo drinks the quick-acting poison, kisses Juliet's lips, and falls to the floor, dead.

Why don't you choose your quotes and look up the translations? Remember, Shakespeare's English isn't quite like the modern version of the language. And take it from there.

You're asking for help, but you don't even supply the quotes for us to help you with. That's a little lazy, don't you think? If you want help, type the quotes!!
