Prompt A:
A street fight breaks out between the Capulets and Montagues. The ruler of Verona tells them that they may never fight again. Romeo and his cousin Bevolio talk about Romeo's love for Rosaline. He is heartbroken because she doesn't love him back. The Capulets are having a party and Bevolio wants to get Romeo in so that he can see Rosaline and possibly meet someone else. Paris wants to purpose to Juliet, however she is hesitant because she is unsure about marriage and she does not know Paris well enough.
Prompt C:
1) Why does Romeo love Rosaline so much?
2) How did Juliet meet Paris?
3) What family is Paris from and is his family in conflict with another one?
4) Are parties and gatherings common for the Capulets?
5) How about the Montagues?
I don't think Juliet and Paris have met yet. He probably comes from a wealthy family like the Capulets and has some sort of power. His family probably doesn't like the Montagues too much because he likes the Capulets who do not like the Montagues. How ever I don't think that there is as much rivalry between his family and the Montagues as there are between the Capulets and the Montagues themselves.
ReplyDeleteParis is the Prince's, Escalus, kinsman, and is Juliet's suitor. Paris and Romeo have not met yet, but Juliet is encouraged to forget about Romeo and wed Paris.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Elodie is saying. I don't think Paris and Juliet have met and that he assumes that she will say yes knowing that he is probably wealthy. I'm pretty sure that parties and gathering are common for the Capulets because they come from a wealthy family and they have the space to invite everyone in to their home to host a ball.
