Nate R- Remake of Assessment: Brainstorm for R+J by Nathan Reckers https://padlet.com/nathan_reckers/g6ze33a3benh0pae Mandatory Graphic Organizer en-us 2021-05-06 20:11:56 UTC 2021-05-12 19:30:36 UTC hello@padlet.com OPTION ONE nathan_reckers https://padlet.com/nathan_reckers/g6ze33a3benh0pae/wish/1500030804 Prompt:  To what extent does Shakespeare rely on the motif of love vs. infatuation to deliver one of his main messages, and why is this important?
Introductory Paragraph
From movies to television shows, from poetry to music, one thing is for certain--love is almost always in the air.  Yet, love is a concept that should not be oversimplified.  No--there are several aspects to what love is and to what love is not.  Throughout William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the motif of love vs. infatuation is established to help deliver one of the central ideas that love has the power to blind anyone, especially emotional adolescents.  This idea is significant because it emphasizes the point that when people allow themselves to be swept away by passion, they run the risk of ignoring all of the warning signs along the way.

As mine on hers, so hers is set on mine, and all combined, save what thou must combine by holy marriage. When and where and how we met, we wooed, and made exchange of vow I'll tell thee as we pass, but this I pray, that thou consent to marry us today."

This can be seen just before the quote when Friar Lawrence was expecting Romeo to have been with Rosaline rather than Juliet.]]> 2021-05-06 20:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_reckers/g6ze33a3benh0pae/wish/1500030815 E1: EVIDENCE TWO nathan_reckers https://padlet.com/nathan_reckers/g6ze33a3benh0pae/wish/1500030816 (Romeo) 'If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand too smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.' (Juliet) 'Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hand do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.' (Romeo) 'Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?' (Juliet) 'Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.' (Romeo) 'O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray: grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.' (Juliet) 'Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.' (Romeo) 'Then move not while my prayers' effect I take. Thus from lips, by thine, my sin is purged.' (Juliet) 'Then have my lips the sin that they have took.' (Romeo) 'Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.' (Juliet) 'You kiss by th' book."

Someone is love would instead understand the deeper meanings of love, and wouldn't replicate that feeling for the rest of the people in the world who loved him.]]> 2021-05-06 20:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_reckers/g6ze33a3benh0pae/wish/1500030826 CONNECTION BETWEEN E1 and E2 nathan_reckers https://padlet.com/nathan_reckers/g6ze33a3benh0pae/wish/1500030827 These quotes work together to create a common theme that Romeo and Juliet are impulsive and acting quickly, and they aren't truly in love just moving fast because they like the idea of it.]]> 2021-05-06 20:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_reckers/g6ze33a3benh0pae/wish/1500030827 CONNECTION BETWEEN E2 and E3 nathan_reckers https://padlet.com/nathan_reckers/g6ze33a3benh0pae/wish/1500030828 These quotes once again work together to show the impulsiveness that Romeo and Juliet have, and is a common theme throughout the book to act on first thought, and not put much feeling into anything outside of adrenaline and instant emotion. ]]> 2021-05-06 20:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_reckers/g6ze33a3benh0pae/wish/1500030828
