Before leaving his life, Mercutio says, "A plague o' both your houses! They have made worms' meat of me. I have it, and soundly too. Your houses!" (#).
Means: Mercutio blames his death on the hatred between Montague and Capulet, which leads to his fatal wounds and unreasonable death.
Matters: Mercutio's confession before perishing proves that Montague and Capulet parents are the culprits of the crimes. The conflict between both families has stolen the serenity and covered all over Verona with anxiety and chaos especially their children. ]]> 2020-05-06 01:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/553539691 Uyen Nguyen 24unguyen https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/555997473 Says: When he realizes Juliet is ‘dead’, Capulet says, ”Death is my son-in-law. Death is my heir” (238) to blame fate for his daughter's death instead of his own actions.
Means: The meaning of Capulet’s quotation is death is his son, death is his heir. Death will be his next generation because his daughter is dead, no one will inherit his treasure, except Death.
Matters: The reader can understand that this play will be tragedy because this is the quote foreshadows the end of the play by saying his heir will be Death, which is a female main character—Juliet will die at the end of the play because conflicts and problems can not be resolved.

]]> 2020-05-06 21:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/555997473 Nha Vo 23nvo2 https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/557584775 Says: When Nurse is criticizing Romeo, Juliet says, "For such a wish! He was not born a shame"(160) because Juliet still loves Romeo even though Romeo killed her cousin Tybalt.
Means: This means Juliet doesn't want anyone to badmouth about Romeo, and Juliet know that Romeo is a person that evil kill her cousin she know he have a reason to do that.
Matters: The reader can understand that Juliet's love can't break even tragic happened on future of her she even can died to help her love live and can't get kill]]> 2020-05-07 14:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/557584775 Anh Van Tran https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/557880553 Says: Juliet answers the nurse, “Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?" (160) because even though her lover is killed her cousin, she still cannot give bad complain for him.
Means: This means Juliet is very confused. She can’t says anything bad to her husband. She loves him so everything he did wrong she can’t easily forgiven. She just need Romeo to be alive, nothing bad happens to him.
Matters: The reader can understand that Juliet is very much in love Romeo. She doesn’t care what Romeo did, she still loves him. I think in the future, Juliet can do everything for Romeo and he just needs to be alive and be her husband and love her forever.

]]> 2020-05-07 16:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/557880553 Luong Pham 20lpham2 https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/558191012 Says: When Juliet drank the vial and seemed dead, afterward her father finds out about her death, and he confesses, "Death, that hath ta'en her hence to make me wail,

Ties up my tongue and will not let me speak" (#).
Means: He is expressing his feeling after seen his daughter's death, some thing has tied up his throat, make him die in silence and cannot talk or express how his pain is.
Matters: This statement reveals his love for Juliet and his regret for forcing her to get married. Shakespeare wants to show the readers a bit of parental love, and the consequences of making rushed decisions in life.

]]> 2020-05-07 18:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/558191012 Phuong Nguyen 21pnguyen14 https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/558273093 Says: After knowing the plan to suspend the wedding with Paris, Juliet had to take a vial to pretend like she dead. Juliet says, “And I will do it without fear or doubt,/live an unstained wife to my sweet love” (4.1.88-89).

Means: This quote shows Juliet feels so scared to marry with Paris that she is even more scared than death.

Matters: This quote helps the reader can realize that Juliet is braver and how much she loves Romeo. She always tries for her love with Romeo even though she had to suffer from fake death to be with him.

]]> 2020-05-07 18:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/558273093 Minh Anh Doan https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/558983209 Says: When Juliet goes to Friar Lawrence's place to find out the solution, she grabs the knife and says, "God joined my heart and Romeo's, thou our hands...Or my true heart with treacherous revoult Turn to another, this shall slay them both" (212, 56-60).
Means: Her lines mean that she and Romeo got married already and Friar Lawrence is a person who helped them. She will kill herself rather than marry Paris.
Matters: The significance of this part is the strength of Juliet's love. Now we can see that Juliet really loves Romeo. Her faithfulness for Romeo also proves through her lines and her actions, which is willing to kill herself instead of marry Paris. Even though I still think that their love is immature because they are so young, but at the same time, I cannot deny that they love each other so much.

]]> 2020-05-08 04:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/558983209 Ngan Pham 21npham6 https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/559171410 Says: When Lord Capulet hears that Juliet chose the death, he is depressed with his joy buried with her and he yells, "My daughter married death. I will die and leave Death every- thing. Life, wealth, everything belongs to Death." and "My child will be buried, and so will my joys" (239 43-64). The nurse yells, "cruel Death has stolen it from me!" (#).
Means: I see that they all personified the death of Juliet. I find this ironic, considering the parents' final argument threatened to reject their daughter because she did not want to marry Paris. Suddenly, now they lamented and grieved for their daughter.
Matters: It is the parents' obstinate behavior that leads her to this "death.", although it is not familiar to consider a young girl's desires at the time. The significance of this part is parents should listen more to their children and try to guide them through the problem together or explain for the child whatever they did wrong and lead them to the right road. ]]> 2020-05-08 07:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/559171410 Thi Nguyen https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/560629429 Says: Friar Lawrence says, “These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and gunpowder,” ( II.vi, 9-10). Friar is comparing Romeo and Juliet’s love to fire and gunpowder because the love he is explaining the ebullient nature of youth.
Means: Even though Friar is helping them but it doesn’t mean he’s fully accepted in mind, he’s himself still has a mature instinct and experiences through years.
Matters: This message Friar Lawrence delivered to Romeo thinking Romeo will listen to him at some point. This quote foreshadows the couple’s end, that instead of them growing bored with each other, they are going to have a tragic end that is ending Romeo and Juliet’s life. ]]> 2020-05-08 19:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/560629429 Thao Tran 22ttran27 https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/560894846 Says: Romeo says, "Tybalt the reason that I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such a greeting. Villian am I none. Therefore farewell, I see thou knowst me not" (#) because he considers Tybalt as his family since Tybalt is Juliet's cousin.
Means: I see that Romeo's motivations are identified by his emotions because he doesn't want to fight with Tybalt . He considered Tybalt as his family just because Tybalt is Juliet cousin.
Matters: This quote is important because it shows how emotion of love motivates Romeo to stop the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio. He does not want conflict between relative of his wife and his close friend. Clearly, Romeo's motivation to stop Mercutio and Tybalt's battle is because of the emotion of love.]]> 2020-05-08 23:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/560894846 Quinn Nguyen https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/560993463 Says: When Juliet’s parents think that she is dead and they’re extremely sad, Friar Lawrence says to them, “She’s not well married that lives married long. [...] But she’s best married that dies married young” (IV.v, 78-79; 214-215).
Means: Friar Lawrence says that to show the fault of Juliet’s parents for forcing her to marry someone she doesn’t love. It could have been different, if Juliet can marry to someone she loves. Because even death can come anytime, at least she can be with the love one, she will be happier.
Matters: This quote is the most meaningful in Friar Lawrence’s conversation because it reflects the importance of freedom and love in society not only back then but also now. Shakespeare wants us to know that life is short, fighting for freedom, love and happiness is hard but it’s worthwhile. Juliet will be happier when she marries to Romeo and she will be happier even though she passed away. Rather than being sad and desperate, careless to the marriage for a long time. ]]> 2020-05-09 03:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/560993463 Joe Ghattas 23yghattas https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/561891546 Says: Juliet never gives up on Romeo no matter what the situation is. For example, when her cousin the Tybalt died, she really didn't get sad but mainly thought about Romeo. This shows that she doesn't care about her family. Juliet says, "just swear you love me and I will stop being a capulet” (#) which reveals that she is the type of a person that will do anything for her love.

Means: This shows that Juliet never gives up, even if it takes to leave her family wealth and her condition for her love. The message is that there are still loyal loving people that are in this world that will do anything for their loved ones. Also, that Juliet father argues with her about marrying another person instead of Romeo and she gets mad and disobeys her father. In result, her father tells her he will kick her out if she doesn't have to marry the other guy.

Matters: This matters because disobeying your parents and losing them is not a good idea. On the other hand, knowing that she is very loyal to Romeo and she will do anything for him is outstanding because they both went through tuff situations. Overall, the message is in tough events, never give up to whom you love and keep going.

]]> 2020-05-09 20:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/561891546 Malak Hussein https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/561976272 Says: Romeo says, "Let be me ta'en. Let me be put to death. I am content, so thou wilt have it so" "(186, III.v, 16-17). Romeo says that when he was in Juliet's room first time as a married couple. He was explaining to Juliet if he stayed more the soldiers would capture him and if that what she wanted for him he would be content and do what she wants.

Means: This statement shows that Romeo would make anything for Juliet only to make her happy. Even if that reached to his death. It reveals that he truly loves Juliet.

Matters: This statement makes the reader realize how much Romeo loves and cares about Juliet. The reader can consider from here that their love would end by death. ]]> 2020-05-09 23:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/561976272 Anh Duy Tran 23atran29 https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562000106 Says: When the fight between the Montagues and Capulets happened, the Prince came and said to the two houses, “Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Profaners of this neighbor-stainèd steel! .... Once more, on pain of death, all men depart” (14, 74-96).
Means: This dialogue shows that the two houses have been fighting each other for many years. The Prince have warned them many times and he is tired of it. This one is the last time he warns them, if they do fight each other again, he would put them to death.
Matters: This idea about stopping the two houses from fighting is important because if they keep fighting, there would be no peace for the citizens and all of the warnings from the Prince would be meaningless. Also, this dialogue makes the readers think clearly for the people around you before starting a fight.]]> 2020-05-10 00:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562000106 Binh Ann Dinh https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562018526 Says: The prologue explains how two families are fighting with each other and a star takes their love away. The prologue says, "A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life" (page 2, line 5).

Means: This refers to the fate of the characters, their love in the end can not be together

Matters: This matters because Romeo and Juliet's stars went two different ways because their love was doomed and would cost them their lives.]]> 2020-05-10 01:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562018526 Mariam zaky https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562026231 Says: Friar Laurence explains, "In one respect I'll thy assistant be, for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households rancor to pure love" (102, 90-92).

Means: He agrees to marry Romeo to Juliet because he thinks it will be a good alliance for the families.

Matters: He thought it would be a good idea to make peace between both families the Capulets and the Montagues. ]]> 2020-05-10 01:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562026231 Amani Almiqdad 23aalmiqdad https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562028739 Says: When Mercutio was laying on the ground and he is dead, Romeo says, "Alive in triumph-- and Mercutio was slain!" (III, 146, 118). This quote shows how Romeo didn't like the way that his best friend is dead while the guy that killed Mercutio is alive and acting like nothing happened.

Means: When Romeo says this, it shows that he is thinking of taking revenge. In a moment like this Romeo is not taking his time to think better before doing something he will regret.

Matters: Shakespeare wants the reader to understand that in a moment like this, a person should take the time to realize what's happening around, him not just do anything. Romeo just got angry about the death of Mercutio, and he went and killed Tybalt, but he didn't think of what is going to happen to him or Juliet. We all should think of the pros and cons of the decisions we make because we may not only hurt ourselves but people that love us too. ]]> 2020-05-10 01:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562028739 Tram Nguyen https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562078510 Says: While Romeo and Juliet are talking outside the balcony to describe each other's beauty and the name of Romeo, at that time, Juliet says, " What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet" (80, 43-44).
Means: This means Juliet is thinking about why she can't be with Romeo and she believes that something is called "less" important that what something actually is.
Matters: This matters because it shows that society judges people based on surface characteristic such as what they look like or groups they belong to. Because of Romeo's last name is Montague, Juliet's family enemy, therefore they consider him to be an unfit for romantic match. Shakespeare uses a simile to show the reader how false and improper this thinking is. To Juliet, Romeo's personal attributes are more important than his last name. ]]> 2020-05-10 03:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562078510 Van Le https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562099209 Says: Juliet says, "Thou and my bosom henceforth shall be twain. I’ll to the friar to know his remedy. If all else fail, myself have power to die" (3, 5, 241-244) when she knows that Romeo was banished from Verona and the Nurse gives her advice about her second wedding with Paris.

Means: This shows that Juliet's loyalty to Romeo is considered a failure that leads to her downfall and tragic end.

Matters: This quote is important because it shows that she really loves Romeo and she will throw away her entire life, values, and family to accompany a person she loved. For example, she chose to kill herself and not facing the future without Romeo. This loyalty to Romeo causes her to disobey her parents, reject her father's decision about the wedding with Paris, and begin acting on her own accord. Juliet will do everything and anything to have a happy life with Romeo later.]]> 2020-05-10 04:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562099209 Julie Ghattas https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562162725 says: Juliet says, “three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed. If that thy bent of love be honorable, thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow ...where and what time thou wilt perform the rite, and all my fortune at thy foot i'll lay and follow thee my lord throughout the world” (II, ii, 142).
means: Juliet is multi- dimensional character even though she is only 13 and made terrible decision to marry Romeo who she just saw and met with only twice for only few minutes and as we can see she is telling him that she is going to send him a messenger, so he can tell her when and where they are going to get married. Also she is telling him that she is going to follow him no matter what
matters: This shows that Shakespeare wanted to give a message to the young girls to warn the young girls about the danger of falling in love so young. Also, that falling in love in that age could cause the young girls to follow what is going to put them in trouble that they have no idea about as what Juliet did which shows that she did not do a good job in thinking quite right about what she is doing because love and her feelings toward Romeo are controlling her actions. ]]> 2020-05-10 06:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562162725 Linh Nguyen https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562381902 Says: Benvolio says, “Tybalt here slain, whom Romeo’s hand did slay. Romeo, that spoke him fair, bade him bethink How nice the quarrel … And, as he fell, did Romeo turn and fly. This is the truth, or let Benvolio die” (150-152, 149-171) when he narrated the battle between Mercutio and Tybalt to the prince.

Means: This shows that Benvolio was always loyal to Montague and never betrayed Romeo, honest and also a thoughtful person, not reckless like Mercutio, who wanted to avoid confronting Capulet so as not to cause a fight.

Matters: Benvolio recounted everything that happened during the battle, although he was told to lie by Lady Capulet but he knew that lying would not help Romeo and maybe Romeo would die. He told the truth of what happened during the battle because he didn't want Romeo to be expelled from Verona and so Romeo could see Juliet again. ]]> 2020-05-10 09:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/562381902 Sarah El Masry 23sel https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/563490516 Says: Romeo says, "I flew over these walls with the light wings of love. Stone walls can't keep love out. Whatever a man in love can possibly do, his love will make him try to do it. Therefore your relatives are no obstacles" (II, ii, 66-69).

Means: It means that any guy that had fell in true love before as Romeo he will do anything that he can possibly do to get his love.

Matters: This quote matters because Shakespeare wanted to show how does Romeo love Juliet. Romeo never gave up on on her even though their families are enemies.]]> 2020-05-10 22:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/563490516 Jan Nassri 25ssawires https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/563841741 Says: Juliet says, "My only love sprung from my only hate
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!" (#) when she found out that Romeo is her enemy.
Means: Juliet complains that she saw Romeo and fell in love with him "too early" before she knew he was her family's enemy.
Matters: It matters because Shakespeare is trying to inform the reader that almost everything happens to Juliet too early. He wants the reader to be ready for everything and take time so we don't end up like Juliet.]]> 2020-05-11 05:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/563841741 Mrs. Louis (Week 8) *NEW* clouis9 https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/565167931 WEEK 8: COMMENT ON A POST

]]> 2020-05-11 15:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/565167931 Khanh Vu https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/566077182 Says: Romeo says, "I fear too early, for my mind misgives - Some consequence yet hanging in the stars - Shall bitterly begin his fearful date - With this night’s revels, and expire the term - Of a despisèd life closed in my breast - By some vile forfeit of untimely death” (#) when Romeo hesitates to come to Capulet’s party.

Means: It means that Romeo expresses his hesitation of going to the Capulet’s party and his unsafe feeling makes him reluctantly go to the party.

Matters: This matters because it shows Romeo felt there is something wrong and knew ahead of time that he will end up by his own death. This foreshadowing later proves to be true when Romeo fateful encounters with Juliet and then have a chain of events that will contribute to his suicide.]]> 2020-05-11 21:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/566077182 Amina A. https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/566111358 Says: Juliet says, “Oh, what a beast was I” (III, ii, 92) when Juliet is crying for Romeo because Romeo killed Tybalt.

Means: This means that Juliet is like the beast that can’t get out of trouble and she can’t have Romeo because he killed Tybalt.

Matters: The message of this is that love can be powerful and unfair. Juliet’s love is uncontrollable since she is crying. Shakespeare opinion is that love can be crazy or confusing. ]]> 2020-05-11 21:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/566111358 Viet Nguyen https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/568463633 Says: During the scene when Romeo sees Juliet for the last time, Romeo says, "Let me be captured. Let me be put to death. I am content, if that's the way you want in" (187, 16-17).

Means: What Romeo means is that he will die for her if she says so and he will give her his life to make her feel better.

Matters: The message is that Romeo can give his life for his love and Shakespeare is trying to tell the reader that if you love someone, you can do anything for him/her to be happy. ]]> 2020-05-12 19:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/568463633 Kim N Tran https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/568834726 Say: Romeo says, "If I profane with my unworthiest hand. This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand" (66, line 91-93).

Means: This statement means Juliet's hand is so beautiful and he feels unworthy when he kisses Juliet's hand.

Matters:
This part makes the readers understand how Romeo describes Juliet's hand and also this part show the feeling of Romeo during kiss his lover hand.]]> 2020-05-12 23:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/568834726 Jocelyn Salcedo https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/571336970 Says: Juliet says, “O God, I have an ill-divining soul. Methinks I see thee now, thou art so low As one dead in the bottom of a tomb” (Act 3, scene 5) after Juliet and Romeo have their first night together as a married couple and he leaves.
Means: This quote is showing the readers that something will happen to the lovers and how things can change from one moment to another so quickly.
Matters: Life can go from being too perfect to immediately start having thoughts that make you feel that something will happen and ruin the moment that you feel is perfect and that’s exactly what Juliet was feeling when she was having her magical moment with Romeo and it had to end so quickly.]]> 2020-05-13 22:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/571336970 Yostina Seddik 23yseddik https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/571700307 Says: When Benvolio meets Mercutio, he says, ”For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring” (P136, L4).

Heaven is here,

Where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog. And little mouse, every unworthy thing, Live here in heaven and may look on her, But Romeo may not" (3.3, lines 29-33) when he is in conversation with Friar Laurence to tell about the punishment that he will take by the Prince after he killed Tybalt.

Capulet! Montague! Do you see what a great evil results from your hate? Heaven has figured out how to kill your joys with love. Because I looked the other way when your feud flared up, I've lost several members of my family as well. Everyone is punished."

Means: Prince means that the love of Romeo and Juliet failed because of the envy of the two houses Montague and Capulet, thus causing the death today of both together with others.

Matters: The message that everyone should learn is forgiveness because we can use forgiveness to be able to add a friend and reduce an enemy. If Montague and Capulet did not turn enemies or they can forgiving easier, then Romeo and Juliet can be together and even marry with their happiness and the blessing of everyone in the family.]]> 2020-05-19 01:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/clouis9/RandJ/wish/581319091
