Act 5: 'Til Death Do Us Apart

Prompt G:
Romeo:  "How could I have ever let this happen? Had it been my all fault for the death of my wife? All I ever wanted to do was to with Juliet, but nothing ever seems to go the way that I want it too. This pain inside me is too strong to bare. I cannot let Juliet go without me.  I know what I must do."

Prompt A:
One of Romeo's servent comes to announce to Romeo that Juliet had killed herself. Romeo wants to die with Juliet, so he gets posion and goes to Juliet's tomb. Romeo never gets a letter from the Friar. Romeo finds Paris at Juliet's tomb and they start to fight. The fight ends with Paris's death. Romeo kisses "dead" Juliet and drinks his posion, but shortly after Juliet wakes up. She finds Romeo dead beside her and she kills herself legit this time. Both families find out the story of Romeo and Juliet and end their fued.

Act 4, scene 4 and 5: Wedding Surprise

Prompt F: Juliet seems to have trust issues about Friar, because she thought the potion she was gonna drink would turn out bad. After she continued to think about it, she knew that Friar was a good man and she could trust him. Even though the Friar could have gotten in trouble by all of this, he still supported Juliet and wanted to make things right. Through it all, he had faith in Juliet. He is a better father figure to Juliet than Lord Capulet will ever be.


Prompt C:
Friar: Why did you want to help out Juliet?
Lord Capulet: What was the point of this wedding?
Why doesn't anyone listen to what Juliet wants?
How come Juliet doesn't just run away at first instead of pretending to die?
Nurse: why did you change your mind about Paris?

Act 4; scene 1-3: Fake death

Prompt B:
Most love story that I tend to see today are connected to Romeo and Juliet in that the teenagers usually fall in love and run away together. We can tell that Romeo and Juliet is a very famous story because many people want their stories to relate to it. For example, the movie warm bodies takes the concept of romeo and juliet and makes it's own story. Warm Bodies is about a zombie named "R" who falls in love with a human named "Julie". They cannot be together because they are obviously different just like how Juliet is a Capulet and how Romeo is a Montaque.

Prompt D: 
"Or bid me go into a new-made grave,
And hide me with a dead man in his shroud -
Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble -
And I will do it without fear or doubt,
To live an unstain'd wife to my sweet love."
I think that in this quote, Juliet says that she'll do anything for Romeo. Even if she risked actually killing herself, she would still do it. She has to be brave and be commited.

Act 3, scene 3-5: Never Banished From Love

Prompt C: Why does Juliet's parents want her to be married to Paris so badly?
Why did Paris want to marry Juliet?
How did Romeo not get noticed by anyone?
Will Juliet actually get married to Paris? 
Will Juliet/Romeo's parents ever find out about their engagment?

Prompt F: The nurse and Juliet seem to have a better relationship than Juliet and her mother. In the story, it always looked like the nurse was around Juliet more way than Lady Capulet. Juliet is more confortable telling the nurse secret that she would never tell her mom. One secret being that she was getting married to Romeo. The nurse always seemed to be very supportive of her

The nurse tells Juliet that Romeo killed her cousin and that she will try to find Romeo for her.

Prompt E: 
I choosed this photo becaus it reminded me of the street fight that Tybalt and Romeo was in.

Act 2:

Prompt F:
Due to the differences and hatred between both the families, Juliet and Romeo can not be together. I don't understand how it is possible for someone to fall in love someone that they barely ever known.
Romeo and Juliet seem to fall in love very fast without possibly even knowing each other's names' at first. This doesn't just happen in real life. Romeo and Juliet's love for each other can seem unrealistic.

Prompt D: In scene 2,  Juliet says, "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?". I always hear these lines being being said. I use to think that Juliet was calling for Romeo when she says "where" but I found out that she was saying "why".

ACT 1, SCENE 1,2,3: Hatred Between Families

Prompt A:  Two servants from the Capulet start a fight with two other men from the Montague which ends up becoming a bigger fight between the two groups of people. The Prince of Verona orders these people to stop brawling. Romeo becomes distant from everyone, because he is lovesick about a girl that he claims that he will never have. Paris wants to get married to Juliet but her Lord Capulet wants to wait until she is a little older. Lord Capulet forms a bash for Juliet to fall in love with Paris.  Romeo crashes the party to find Roseline, the girl that he was lovesick for from the beginning. Juliet's mother tells Juliet that Paris wants to propose to her. Juliet's nurse tells her story from her past and about how she cut her head once. Peter comes in and announces that the guests are arriving.

Prompt B: Most people today tend not to like each other for a variety of reasons. How the servants from both sides of the families started to fight in Romeo and Juliet reminds me of how Serbia and Austria-Hungary fought in WWI. At the end, everyone was envolved in the fight and everyone had a side. In WWI, each country was seperated in allies and central powers just like how people were seperated as Capulet and Montagues. There was always that one person that wanted peace.
