The Death Scene
Storyboard Text
- Paris's Death
- Give me your torch, boy. Go away and stay apart from me. Put the torch out, so I can't be seen. Hide under the yew -trees over there. Listen to make sure no one is coming through the graveyard. If you hear anyone,whistle to me to signal that someone is approaching.Give me those flowers. Do as I tell you. Go.
- Sweetflower, I'm spreading flowers over your bridal bed.Oh, pain! Your canopy is dust and stones. I'll water these flowers every night with sweet water. Or, if I don't do that, my nightly rituals to remember you will be to put flowers on your grave and weep.
- (to himself) I am almost afraid to stand alone here in the graveyard, but I'll take the risk.
- The boy is warning me that someone approaches.Who could be walking around here tonight? Who's ruining my rituals of true love? It's someone with a torch! I must hide in the darkness for awhile.
- (whistles)
- I'll go, sir, and I won't bother you.
- Give me that pickax and the crowbar. Here, take this letter. Early in the morning deliver it to my father. Give me the light. Swear on your life, I command you, whatever you hear or see, stay away from me and do not interrupt me in my plan. I'm going down into this tomb of the dead, partly to behold my wife's face. But my main reason is to take a precious ring from her dead finger. I must use that ring for an important purpose. So go on your way. But if you get curious and return to spy on me, I swear I'll tear you apart limb by limb and spread your body parts around to feed the hungry animals in the graveyard. My plan is wild and savage. I am more fierce in this endeavor than a hungry tiger or the raging sea.
- Despite what I said, I'll hide nearby. I'm frightened by the look on his face, and I have doubts about his intentions.
- That's the way to show me friendship. Take this. Live and be prosperous. Farewell, good fellow.
