For example, in Act 2, Scene 2, Romeo says (in regards to Juliet), "O, speak again, bright angel". He often refers to her as 'bright' or 'light' which can be seen as symbol for the sun. ]]> 2023-05-25 14:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2604966531 bojjasaasthra https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608150719 When we first meet Romeo, he is infatuated with Rosaline. We are informed of this when Benvolio says, "the fair Rosaline whom thou [Romeo] so lovest" (Act 1, line 360). Despite this, Romeo falls in love with Juliet upon first sight. What does this say about his character and his relationship with Juliet?]]> 2023-05-29 19:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608150719 bojjasaasthra https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608153236 In Scene 2 of Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet, the Lord Capulet hands his servant a paper with names of all the guests he has to invite written on it, oblivious to the fact that the servant cannot read. Romeo has to read it to him. " Stay, fellow; I can read." (1.358) Does the Capulet's obliviousness to his own servant's capabilities signal a weak understanding of his own people or a sheltered nature? How does this differ from the way the Montagues treat their servants? Is this a possible factor in their feud?]]> 2023-05-29 19:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608153236 bojjasaasthra https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608161072 When we first learn of Romeo's romantic life, we are told that he is in love with a girl that does not love him back. We know this when Romeo says, "She will not stay the siege of loving terms" (1.241). As Act 1 progresses into Act 2, he is in love with a different girl, who instead reciprocates his feelings, named Juliet, which then leads to the true conflict in the play.]]> 2023-05-29 19:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608161072 bojjasaasthra https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608166218 One of the clear emerging themes in this play is the morbid nature of the love story being acted, and in a way, that romantic love is worth dying for. For one, in the prologue to Act 2, the chorus sings, "Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie" (1.780) This symbolizes the impending death that the mutual desire for each other that Romeo and Juliet possess will cause.]]> 2023-05-29 19:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608166218 bojjasaasthra https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608171744 One of the main keystones of this play is the way each of the lovers' parental concerns affects them. In Act 1, when Juliet, the Nurse, and Lady Capulet are speaking to each other about Juliet getting married, Lady Capulet says, "Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme
I came to talk of. Tell me, daughter Juliet,
How stands your disposition to be married?" (1.448-450). Juliet replies that she does not want to be married yet, especially to Paris. Though Juliet's feelings about marriage change, her feelings about Paris do not. The concept of parents having different ideas than kids about what they should do is a major idea in this play.]]> 2023-05-29 20:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608171744 bojjasaasthra https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608175887 It is important to note that Romeo and Juliet met in the Capulet's home. Romeo was taking a huge risk being there, and falling in love with the daughter of that family. ]]> 2023-05-29 20:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bojjasaasthra/5zhbrxrf2pqg0kez/wish/2608175887
