He has a specialty of making concoctions using the herbs and plants that he grows. The Friar was the person who Romeo and Juliet commonly went to when when they had a problem or just needed to speak to someone. Any time that they did this he would try and take on the problem all on his own. This shows that he is very overconfident or prefers to work on his own.]]> 2020-03-20 03:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238048 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238133 One theme of the play Romeo and Juliet is that fate is inescapable. Friar Laurence shows this fate by doing everything he can to help them no matter how desperate. The first example of this is when Romeo comes to Friar Laurence after he had just killed Murcutio. Friar Laurence tells him to leave and he will fix everything but fails to because Romeo and Juliet were destined to die. This happens again when Juliet comes to him after she is told she has to marry Paris and again the Friar does everything he can to help her, even put her in a death-like coma, yet it still fails because they were destined to die.]]> 2020-03-20 03:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238133 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238779 I feel like Friar Laurence would be a big fan of a gardening magazine. Not only is he the gardener for the monastery but he also uses plants throughout the play. Our first introduction to him is he talking about plants. Another time he uses plants is to help Juliet by putting her in a death like coma. A gardening magazine would help him with his plant chooses and would fit his character based on what we know]]> 2020-03-20 03:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238779 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238854 The nurse is the main care taker for Juliet. She was the only other person to know of Juliet’s marriage to a Romeo besides Friar Laurence. For must if the play she sided with Juliet that Romeo, while not the one, should be the one to marry her. This changed when Romeo was banished from the town for killing Tybalt and then she wanted Juliet to marry Paris. This shows that the nurse knows when something is done and over with unlike Friar Laurence or Juliet who both want to get Romeo back which causes both Romeo and Juliet’s death.]]> 2020-03-20 03:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238854 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238896 One of the themes for Romeo and Juliet is that of death and loss. The nurse shows this them when Romeo is banished from the town, the nurse says that Romeo is as good as dead. This is unlike Friar Laurence or Juliet who both want him to come back and because they could not accept the loss they continued to try and bring him back which caused the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. If Juliet had accepted loss as the nurse had did she could have avoided most of this. Also if Juliet choose to not marry Paris and was banished she could have just gone to were a Romeo was at and lived there. ]]> 2020-03-20 03:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238896 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238976 2020-03-20 03:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467238976 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239114 Romeo is the son of the Montague's and fell in love with the daughter of the rivaling family the Capulets. Romeo became in love with Juliet after going on one dance with her which caused most of the events in the play because they fell in love. Romeo is someone who is desperate for love. In the start of the play he is depressed over Rosalin who will not love him back. Then when he goes to a dance and meets Juliet he falls in love with her over night. This shows that he is desperate for love which might also explain why he wanted to marry her the next day.  ]]> 2020-03-20 03:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239114 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239156 One theme in the play is do not let social problems get in the way of love. Romeo shows this by keeping the secret of his and Juliet’s marriage. If he had come out about this to his parents it is possible that he could have lived well enough with Juliet. This is seen again at the end of the play when both he and Juliet had died. Both the Montagues and the Capulets feud stopped whether because of their deaths or marriage which could have happened if he had come out earlier and the feud stopped making most of the problems in the play void.]]> 2020-03-20 03:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239156 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239199 2020-03-20 03:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239199 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239235 Juliet is that daughter of the Capulets and star crossed lover to Romeo. She after one night of dancing confessed her love to Romeo. Juliet is desperate for love similar to Romeo that when she confessed her love she wanted to marry him as soon as possible. When Romeo was banished from the town, she wanted to be with him again so much that she put herself in a deathlike coma then committed suicide when Romeo died. This shows that she is unaccepting of death and loss]]> 2020-03-20 03:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239235 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239293 One theme of the play is of death and loss. Juliet shows this theme by being unaccepting of when Romeo was banished and when he committed suicide. When Romeo was banished from the town she was depressed and wanted to commit suicide until Friar Laurence came up with a plan which still put her in a death like coma which she took after a little questioning. Then after she woke up from the coma and she found Romeo next to her dead she killed herself being unable to take the loss of Romeo. She shows the theme of death and loss by being unable to accept it.]]> 2020-03-20 03:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239293 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239346 2020-03-20 03:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239346 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239679 One oxymoron in this play is said by Romeo, ““Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!
Still-waking sleep”

What this oxymoron is saying that Romeo and his love for Rosalin should be great and yet it is not. This helps that readers understand that he loves Rosalin but she doesn’t love him back. Sick health shows this by it is bad that she doesn’t love me yet I like to be by her.]]> 2020-03-20 03:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239679 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239705 One piece of foreshadowing in this play is said by a Friar Laurence, “Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied,
And vice sometime’s by action dignified.
”
This is foreshadowing for himself later in the play by putting Juliet in a deathlike coma to try and help her get back to Romeo. This helps the reader understand Friar Laurence’s decisions later in the play by also foreshadowing him marring Romeo and Juliet which would be bad because they are rivaling families. He does this to try and stop that rivaling. This also explains why the Friar takes on roles all by himself so he can try to justify what he has done by fixing it. ]]> 2020-03-20 03:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239705 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239758 One example of Dramatic Irony comes from Lord Capulet, ““Ready to go, but never to return.
O son, the night before thy wedding day
Hath death lain with thy wife. See, there she lies,
Flower as she was, deflowered by him.
Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir;
My daughter he hath wedded. I will die
And leave him all. Life, living, all is Death’s.
”
This example of dramatic irony is meant to help the reader by proving that people think that she truly died. Lord Capulets dramatics that he caused her death hammers it very believable. Also because he blames himself for causing her death makes it seem like he truly cared about her.    ]]> 2020-03-20 03:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239758 emruud21123 https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239862 One example of personification is said by Lord Capulet, ““Ready to go,but never to return.
O son, the night before thy wedding day
Hath death lain with thy wife. See, there she lies,
Flower as she was, deflowered by him.
Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir;
My daughter he hath wedded. I will die
And leave him all. Life, living, all is Death’s.
”
This quote of personification helps the readers understand what is going on by comparing Juliet’s marriage to death. This is to help understand his grief over her death and that he caused it by marring her to “death”. He forced her marriage of Paris upon her which caused her much stress making her die. Because of his actions the one he had loved the most is now dead.]]> 2020-03-20 03:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/emruud21123/mc4fjv53f6jw/wish/467239862
