This is evident through the use of "She hath not seen the change of fourteen years." however, the quote "wither in their pride" suggests that he is forcing Juliet to be in a relationship she doesn't want to be in. The first quote suggests to the reader that Capulet is getting impatient while waiting for Juliet to grow up, it may also imply to the reader that he likes Paris and wants them to be together. The verb "change" connotes to the reader that her love is growing stronger for Romeo as she grows older. Alternatively it may connote that her love will never change and Capulet is forcing it a bit with Paris. The second quote gives the reader the impression that Capulet is waiting for Juliet's love for Romeo to die. It makes me feel uncomfortable because capulet is forcing a marriage against Juliet for her to stop loving Romeo.This could link to the time period because during the time that Shakespeare wrote this play rich people were usually forced into arranged marriages by their parents. The use of iambic pentameter suggests that Capulet was trying to get his points across nicely and to show Paris that he is important and to treat his daughter with respect if he want to marry her. The word wither means to die out. This could suggest that the Capulet family want Juliet's love for Romeo to die out because he is. This is important because it shows us how Capulet and Lady Capulet feel about Romeo.

Sophie - what does the word "wither" suggest? Why is it so important here?]]> 2017-01-23 16:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/148771607 Fabliha https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/148790045 Capulet is presented as a shielding father through the use of iambic pentameter. This is evident through “she hath not seen age change of fourteen years” however “let two more summers wither in their pride” suggests that he is willing to give his daughter away but without Juliet knowing. The first quote shows that he cares about his daughter but knows that 14 is not the correct age to be married. As well as he knows that it would be a big step in her life. The use of verb “change” connotes to the reader that it’s going to be a big step and when she gets to know she would be feeling anxious and Congo nous. Alternatively this may connote that when Capulet finds about her and Romeo he would force her to get married with Paris. The second quote gives the reader the impression that he doesn’t want Romeo to fall in love with Juliet and wants them to fall apart. This makes me feel that why he doesn’t want the best for her in life  and if he is that caring and overprotective then make her happy in the future and who she wants to be with.

Fabliha - how could you link the time period Romeo and Juliet was set to what you say here? Think particularly about gender roles and society's expectations of certain genders.

However, the quote "My child is a stranger in the world." Shows that Capulet not only doesn't trust Juliet, he also thinks she's not capable of doing certain tasks.Which also links to the that era. This us because , back in those days women couldnt be trusted to do certain things or were often looked upon. The first quote suggest to the reader that Capulet would do anything for his daughter(by calling her his world and lady).The second quote tells the reader that Capulet thinks little of his daughter . It makes me upset knowing that back in those days girls weren't able to do things.

Aureole - what individual words could you zoom in to from each of the quotations above?]]> 2017-01-23 17:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/148807983 https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149078932 Emaan
Capulet is presented as a self-absorbed farther through the use of iambic pentameter. This is evident through through "she agreed within the scope of her choice", however the quote "she needs to learn more" suggests he is quite attentive and considerate. The first quote shows the reader that Capulet has forced Juliet into the marriage but is lying to Paris by saying he she wanted to marry him. This gives Capulet a bad reputation and may suggest that Juliet's opinion isn't a concern to him. It may also imply to the reader that men's opinion's are more important and more serious compared to a women's opinion. The verb "agreed" connotes to the reader that it was expected for Juliet to agree. Alternatively it may connote  that Capulet is trying to give Paris a good impression of his daughter by hinting that she easily listens. The second quote gives the reader the impression that Capulet cares about his daughters education and wants to make sure she knows everything to be able to move to the next stage in her life. It makes me feel glad knowing that Capulet at least cares about his daughters knowledge and relieved knowing that Capulet is considering she has to be taught more.

This is clearly evident through the quote "She agreed within her scope of choice." However, the quote "but woo her gentle Paris" suggests that Capulet might actually showing a little bit of concern into his daughters feelings as well as consideration as to what Juliet has to go through. The first quote suggests to the reader that Capulet is trying to get Juliet agree to an arranged marriage as well as trying to get her to pick her husband of choice, despite being only thirteen. It may also imply that Capulet wants to keep a good family name and in those days, one of the ways to earn pride was to marry off your daughters with someone wealthy. The noun "scope" can connote to the reader that Capulet may have seen Paris as a great opportunity for Juliet to get married. Alternatively, it may also connote that Juliet may want to scope to freedom and may be desperate to find a way out of Capulet and Paris' agreement. The second quote gives the reader the impression that despite Capulet forcing Juliet to get married, he does actually care about her well-being as well as her feelings, and therefore advises Paris to take a gentle approach when trying to cease her heart. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable with Capulet's character, because its shows his caring side to him that may not be portrayed as much throughout the play. This could link to the time period because women were ordered as second classed citizens and were however, not treated with much respect at all because their opinions weren't seen as important, explaining why Juliet may have not had a say in what was going to happen to her. The use of iambic pentameter suggests how determined Capulet is on making Paris her husband as well as making it clear and stressing to Juliet about marrying somebody within the next few years.

Question: What is significant about the use of pronouns "she" and "her" in Capulet's speech? Why?]]> 2017-01-24 18:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149116369 Sheena arthd015_317 https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149124223 Capulet is presented as a vigilant father through the use of iambic pentameter. This is evident through "She hath not seen the change of fourteen years." however, the quote "My child is yet a stranger in the world." suggests that he is worried about how Juliet will react to the news and because she is a young age and she may not understand some things. The first quote suggests to the reader that Capulet can't wait until his child is older, it may also imply to the reader that he agrees with Paris and wants the best for her daughter. The verb "change" connotes to the reader that has she grows, her will change as in she will face different challenges in life at such a young age. Alternatively it may connote that she is being forced to marry someone she does not which will change things in her life. The second quote gives the reader the impression that she does not know her surroundings and she has no idea of what life is. It makes me feel worried because she may not know where she could be heading in life and maybe she hasn't got a clue of what her ambition is when she grows up.]]> 2017-01-24 18:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149124223 Chloe https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149132472 Capulet is presented as an over protective father through the use of iambic pentameter. This is evident through "she hath not seen the change of fourteen" however, the quote "her consent is but apart" suggest that he doesn't really care for Juliet's thoughts on who she is to marry because he thinks he knows whats best for his daughter.The first quote suggests to the reader that Capulet doesn't really want Juliet to grow up that fast and maybe wants to spend more father-daughter time with her,it may also imply to the reader that deep down Capulet really does care for his daughter. The verb change connotes to the reader that Capulet does not want change to happen just yet. Alternatively it may connote that Juliet will never love or have any feelings for him but Capulet is trying to change that. The second quote gives the reader the impression that Capulet doesn't care for her thoughts of the situation. It makes me feel upset, knowing that in that era women had no say in things. This could link to the time period because women were married at a very young age and the marriage was always arranged. The use of iambic pentameter suggests that there are many important people around.]]> 2017-01-24 18:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149132472 Naseera https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149141695 Capulet is presented as a protective father through the use of monosyllabic verbs and adjectives. This is evident through," she hath not seen the change of fourteen years." however, the quote," But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart." suggests that he is cunning and making her choice which is quite life- changing. The first quote suggests to the reader that Capulet cares about his daughter because he is saying she is too young and needs to be matured; feels the urge  to protect his daughter at an age like hers as he may feel like she cannot look after her new family. It may also imply to the reader that she is too young to rid of her maidenhead. The monosyllabic verb, change connotes to the reader that this dilemma could be positive or negative- like all changes. Alternatively, it may connote that she wants to be united with her family as change is a monosyllabic verb; mono means one so it could connote that she wants to be kept united with her family. The second quote gives the reader the impression that her father is a cunning sly fox forcefully planning her metamorphic choices. It makes me feel disconcerted and agitated the fact her dad is telling a gentleman to 'woo' his 13 year old daughter. This could link to the time period because arranged marriages at the age of 11 and 12 were very prevailing and natal for a 13 year old to lose her maidenhead at her age.]]> 2017-01-24 19:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149141695 Salma https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149165575 Capulet is presented as an affectionate and thoughtful father through the use of Iambic pentameter.This is evident through, "She hath not seen the change of fourteen years;" however the quote "a stranger in the world." suggests that he is worried. The first quote connotes to the reader that Capulet knows she is still a child and wants to keep his daughter safe. It could also suggest that Capulet doesn't want juliet to grow up fast as she is going to be married off to another family and won't be able to see his daughter as much anymore.The verb "change" connotes to the reader that Capulet doesn't like changes and does not want to rush the planning of juliet's marriage. It could also connote to the reader that as juliet grows older she will go through changes and as dramatic irony her love for romeo will never change. it is also usually difficult to go through changes this could be very relatable to the reader. The second quote suggests that she has no actual experience in "the outside world" and hasn't developed and matured enough, ready to get married. The word "stranger" suggests that juliet is an outsider  and it seems that she is not yet ready to learn about some things as she is very young. This could link to the time period because many women were married at a young age as in the play juliet is only 13 and is planning to get married, women were not allowed to choose who they wanted to marry as they had arranged marriages. The use of Iambic pentameter suggests that there might be harshness in the voice of the speaker, it also could suggest that there might be important people around or it could represent love.]]> 2017-01-24 20:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149165575 Claudia A https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149355567 In the story Romeo and Juliet, Capulet is presented as obnoxious and seriously over protected through the use of iambic pentameter. This is evident through " she's the hopeful lady of my earth" however the quote "she hath not seen the change of fourteen years". This suggests that he is a very talkative person. The first quote suggests to the reader that Capulet would do absolutely anything to protect his daughter. It may also imply to the reader that something about Juliet is so valuable to him. The phrase "Lady of my earth" suggests to the reader that Capulet would always put his daughter's needs before his own. Alternatively it could connote to the reader that Juliet is his number one priority. The second quote gives the impression to the reader that maybe Juliet is not ready to get married. It makes me feel a bit startled because its quite possible that Capulet may be gaining second thoughts about Juliet's future. This could link to the time period because women were married at a very young age and were forced to give marriage.]]> 2017-01-25 15:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149355567 Alannah https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149376756 Capulet is presented as a protective father through the use of verbs and nouns. This is evident through "she has not seen the change of fourteen years" however, the quote "but woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart" suggests that he wants to introduce a fake love between Paris and Juliet. The first quote suggests to the reader that he is caring and he loves his daughter. It may also imply that he is a man that is living behind his time. I think this because usually a women would get married as young as twelve but Capulet has intercepted and has given Juliet two more years. The verb "change" connotes to the reader that change is a bad thing. In Juliet's case, change means growing up and added responsibility. Alternatively the verb may suggest that she can now start a family of her own that her father approves of. The second quote gives the reader the impression that her father only wants what's best for him and he wants to play Juliet into thinking Paris really loves her but instead it's Capulets choice. It makes me feel empathy towards Juliet because she has no choice in her own life or in who she wants to marry.
Challenge
This could link to the time period because ladies had no choice whether they wanted to get married or who they want to be married to. Their lives were planned out for them. The use of iambic pentameter suggests that Capulet is someone of importance.]]> 2017-01-25 16:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149376756 Laila🌇 https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149391533 Capulet is presented as a protective father through the adjective change and fourteen . This is evident through the use of "she hath not seen the change of fourteen years" however, the quote "At my poor house look to behold this night" suggest that he is selfish and is is doing it for the money and wealth. The first quote suggest that capulet and Juliet needs to spend more time together before she goes and live with her husband and his rules which might stop Juliet from seeing her family ever it also may suggest to the reader that we don't have all the time in the world and we should use it wisely. The phrase "change of fourteen years" suggest to the reader that capulet is making time for Juliet to come to sense about the marriage and that he does not want her to get married and not be happy. Alternately it could connote to the reader that when we get married we would have to make the descion on getting married or not. The second quote gives the expression that capulet is more about making money and building up his presentation to others. It makes me feel nervous on weather capulet has mixed feelings about Juliet and her future or his life and presentation to the others and maybe make the montages look stupid and also this could mean about his fame and wealth. This could link to the time period because women were forced to get married otherwise become a slave which wasn't good at the time.]]> 2017-01-25 17:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149391533 Rachael https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149393223 Capulet is presented as a caring father through the use of iambic pentameter. This is evident through "let two more summers wither in their pride. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride" however the quote "And she agreed, within her scope of choice" suggest that he is mostly thinking about himself and he doesn't really care about his daughters future; he just wants to have her married. the first quote suggests to the reader that she might be too young to go through it (since she hasn't turned fourteen just yet) and wants to do the best for his daughter,Juliet . Moreover, it could also suggest that he is worried that she might not live her life like a teenager since they would marry at a young age. Instead, they would learn how to cook, do chores and have responsibility and  they also don't have very good education. The second quote gives the reader an impression that Capulet just wants to get rid of Juliet and he also might be doing it for the money. This also shows that girls didn't really have a choice on who they want to marry since their fathers would arrange it for them. The word 'think' from the first quote suggest to the reader that he may be confused and wants to do his best for his daughter. He was mostly thinking of Juliet's future. This shows that she's not ready to become a bride just yet. This makes me feel  heavy-hearted because this shows that girls in the Shakespearean era never had freedom and choices were made for them.They couldn't have a say in anything and they couldn't stand up for themselves. This could link to the time period because girls got married at a very young age and they were forced into it as well; this shows that women were being treated very differently towards men in that time.]]> 2017-01-25 17:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149393223 Ellie https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149399640 Capulet is presented as an overprotective father through the use of iambic pentameter. This is evident through, "she hath not seen the change of fourteen" however the quote, "this night" suggests that Juliet has not got a lot of time to prepare for this arranged date with her "betrothed" and Capulet has not taken consideration to her age. It may also imply that Juliet had no choice about who she wanted to marry, as she was a girl. This links to the time period that Shakespeare was writing in as girls were considered lower than men. The noun, "night" connotes to the reader that it is a romantic/date setting for Paris and Juliet and the use of dramatic irony tells the reader who Capulet has chosen for Juliet to marry, but Juliet does not know. This makes me feel sympathetic for Juliet and other girls who had to experience this, because they were very young and was reflected on as "irresponsible" or "oblivious to the real world" .  Alternatively, the word "this" connotes to the reader as very soon. These quotes make me feel heavy-hearted towards girls that have no opinions in the making of their future; especially the girls in the Shakespearean era. However, this was a normal discussion made by parents in that time, as it was part of their parenting duty for their daughter.

This is evident through the use of "Let two more summers wither in their pride". However , the qoute "woo her gentle Parish get her heart" suggest that he is trying to trick Juliet to love Parish and forcing him onto her. The first qoute suggest to the reader that Capulet wants Juliet to get married in two years waiting for Juliet to be the right age and old enough]]> 2017-01-25 19:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149432348 Lara https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149432894 Capulet is presented as a loving father, who always has his daughter's best interests at heart, through the use of iambic pentameter and adjectives. This is evident through- "She hath not seen the change of fourteen years." However the quote- "Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride." suggests that he is self-centred and only cares  about getting himself into a good position by his daughter into a rich family. The first quote suggests to the reader that Capulet loves Juliet as he isn't ready to marry her off just yet and neither is Juliet personally feeling ready to get married. He wants to keep his daughter close to him and doesn't like the idea of change. It may also imply to the reader that he is concerned for Juliet's future as he wants to know if Paris will treat her in a kind, gentleman like way. After all, she's still her father's little girl. The verb change connotes to the reader that Capulet doesn't want his daughter to grow up and leave him. Being a father, he has probably spent most of his time and energy raising his daughter- his love for her would've grown immensely. Alternatively it could connote that he is ready for his daughter to leave him and begin a new life. The second quote gives the reader the impression that he only wants to marry off his daughter to benefit himself. By marrying her into a wealthy family is would make HIS family a bit more renowned, not necessarily showing he cares for his daughter's well-being. It makes feel concerned for Juliet because her father may not genuinely care for her in the way a father should. He may think- she's just another young girl ready to get married. This could link to the time period because girls back then were not noticed as anything important. They grew up trained to be the 'perfect wife'; mannerly, clean and reticent. They were then to be married and forgotten about. The use of iambic pentameter suggests that Juliet plays a significant role in Capulet's life. As iambic pentameter is used to show status/importance, the fact that Capulet may show care of Juliet (refer to first quote) can also show that she is important. Supposing he was to lose Juliet, maybe he may loose iambic pentameter with her; showing she's the most important thing in his life.]]> 2017-01-25 19:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149432894 Aysha https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149445300 Capulet is presented as a caring father through the use of monosyllabic words. This is evident through "she hath not seen the change of fourteen years;" however, the quote "but woo her gently , get her heart" suggests that he is also cunning. The first quote suggest to the reader that he is wanting Juliet to have her last bit of freedom and to live her next 2 years of childhood without a weight on her shoulders. As well as that relating back to my first point, the use of monosyllabic sentence suggest that he cares about her and only her as mono means one. It may also imply to the reader that like parents in the 21st century, Capulet also has the love for his daughter the way our father does.  The verb 'change' connotes to the reader that there could be a positive or negative outcome to the play as change has 2 definitions which are not always good but not always bad. Alternatively it may connote that change has an effect on you but your family as well, this may be evident as Capulet may not be willing to give Juliet's hand in marriage away as it could mean that their father and daughter bond could be broken as she has her own family to care about and the time to spend with her father may not be seen as important than her marriage life. The second quote gives the reader the impression that Juliet's whole love life could be all fake and the love that is shown is plotted and planned. It makes me feel sorrowful for Juliet  because she may be thinking that her soul mate is showing her genuine love which may be a business deal or a peace deal to keep family's in partnership rather than hatred like the way the Capulet and Montague family are going through.~CHALLENGE~ This could link to the time period because many marriages in Shakespearean time, (1595) were business deals which were not based on true love or relationships we have now in 2017. The use of iambic pentameter suggests that Shakespeare wanted to add a few twists to the play to make the play more fascinating and interesting to read and mainly watch, as not many people had the abilities to do so,and would bring more potential audiences. To add to that the use of iambic pentameter could make us the readers understand what is going on without it having an effect on the story.]]> 2017-01-25 19:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149445300 Roshan https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149453110 Capulate is presented as a very over protective father through the use of nouns and adjectives used in the book. This is evident through the quote "Lies my consent and fair according  voice." However the quote "but woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart." Suggests that he is also encouraging Paris to marry his daughter. The first quote suggests to the reader that capulate also does care for Juliet and is taking responsiblity for his daughters arranged marriage. The word gentle can suggests that Paris must try and get Juliets heart very softly .]]> 2017-01-25 20:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149453110 Patience https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149455241 Capulet is presented as a protective father through the use of nouns and adjectives.this is evidence through"let two more summers wither in there pride,ere we may think her ripe to be a bride"however this quote"and she agreed within her scope of choice"suggest that he may be confused and doesn't know what is best for his own daughter.the first quote show that Capulet does care for his daughter but then he also worry's about her future with Paris but even when he know that he will be giving away his daughter.the adjective ripe could show that Capulet think that his daughter is ready for his daughter to grow up and live with a m,an at the age of 14 this may mean to the reader that he want his daughter to grow up fast. alternatively the word agreed may connotes to the reader that Capulet agreed to what Paris was trying to tell him and he didn't think it was wrong.both of the quotes gave me the impression that Capulet is still confused on the decision he is making at the moment
Challenge:this could link to the time period because maybe during the time this was okay but in the modern day that would be a serious case because the fact that they are planning to get married at the age of 14 they are still children but now it will be a serious case and not safe. ]]> 2017-01-25 20:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149455241 Ashley https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149458969 Capulet is presented as a caring father through the use of nouns
This is evident through the quote "let two summers wither in their pride ere we may think her ripe to be a bride."
However , the quote "And she agreed, within her scope of choice."suggests that he is the opposite of and is going behind her back and choosing who she is going to get married to without her knowing .
The first quote suggests to the reader that he wants her to take her time. It may also imply to the reader that don't rush her that she is still my daughter at the end of the day .
The word wither connotes to the reader that he is implying that you should wait and leave so time.
Alternatively it may connote because when you think of wither you think of going away or time passing which could leave the reader feeling happy that he is also considering his daughters feelings.
The second quote gives the reader the impression that he has a sneaky Side and that Juliet could be going along with everything thinking that she is making up in her head that she likes Paris when actually behind the scenes her dad is pulling the strings making her think that she should say yes when she could be really wanting to say no.
It makes me feel confessed on where Capulets mind is set because in the first quote he is caring at thoughtful about his daughter's feelings but in the second quote he is the complete opposite and he is pulling the strings.

 This could link to the time period because back then woman where classified in a certain way and they would learn different thing to what woman would learn for example woman would learn posture and how to use their cutlery while men where learning geography ,history and science so woman where always put second so it is very possible that their fathers would arrange the person they would get married to to male sure they get a good man who could support their daughters and their family

This is evident through "She hath not seen the change of fourteen years". However the quote "Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride" suggests that he is selfish. The first quote suggests to the reader that Capulet believes his daughter is not ready to be a bride yet. This shows he is caring because he has the mindset of an overprotective father and doesn't want to let go of his daughter. It may also imply to the reader that he doesn't want to rush her love life; he wants to make sure he's found the perfect man for his child. The noun 'change' suggests that overtime Juliet has changed and grown more mature as she gets older. She might be rebellious against her father's wishes (as children her age start to ignore their parents). This word may also imply that Juliet's love for Romeo will never change. The word 'fourteen' connotes youth; this shows that in the time period of Shakespeare, children would get married at a very young age - possibly because women weren't thought to be very independent. The second quote suggests that Capulet is selfish. It suggests that he doesn't care what Juliet's opinion is; he will force her into a marriage against her will. The use of the adjective 'ripe' shows the use of a metaphor - the word 'ripe' is usually used to describe fruit when they are ready to be eaten. Shakespeare has chosen this word to show she isn't ready to become a bride yet. It may also imply that Juliet is as sweet as a fruit; as she is described by Capulet as 'the hopeful lady of my earth'. This makes the reader feel sympathetic for Juliet as she is being pushed into a marriage against her desires, especially at such a young age. The use of monosyllabic words suggests that Capulet is being very blunt; he knows exactly what he wants for his daughter. The use of iambic pentameter in both quotes suggests that Capulet is a very important perons - therefore Paris would be more compelled to follow Capulet's orders.]]> 2017-01-25 21:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149471849 EMMA https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149478783 Capulet is presented as a caring father through the use of a verb. This is evident through "She hath not seen the change of fourteen years" however the quote "At my poor house look to behold this night." This suggests that he also has a side of him who only cares about himself. The first quote suggests to the reader that he is waiting for the right time to come and until she is ready. It may also suggest that she is still a young girl as it states she is fourteen years old. The number fourteen connotes to the reader that Juliet is not familiar to reality. Alternatively it may connote that Juliet might not like the idea of getting married at such a young age as it is a big change and step into her life. The second quote gives the reader the impression that there is a possibility she is being forced into something she does not want to do. It makes me feel disappointed that women back in Shakespeare time was less important to men as I believe now that men and women are equal. 

Question: What might the adjective "poor" and the noun "night" connote? Why? Add this to your paragraph.]]> 2017-01-25 22:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rsimpson5/RJAct1/wish/149478783
