At 10:32 why is lady montague there???
She was not supposed to be dead of a grief??

[@SchoolingOnline]

Good catch! In Act 5 Scene 3, it is clear Lady Montague is not present. The original quote states:

‘Alas, my liege, my wife is dead tonight.
Grief of my son’s exile hath stopped her breath.
What further woe conspires against mine age?’

We’ve included Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, Lord Montague and Lady Montague to represent the house of Capulet and the house of Montague suffering due to Romeo and Juliet’s deaths.
This isn’t to say that Lady Montague is physically present in this scene.
You’ll notice that we’ve also chosen to leave out individuals that are physically present in this scene in the play, such as a page and the Friar.
