Act 5

PROMPT G 

I chose the first/head watchman.  The head watchman feels confused and somewhat fearful. In a time of superstition someone dying twice like Juliet could making him feel very scared of the supernatural. he fact that he is in a graveyard would also add to the fear. Confusion would also reign , because they are so many deaths, but so little explanations. The watchman may also have had a certain sense of pride , since he was helping to get to the bottom of a big mystery and/or rescuing. Another major emotion would have been sleepiness/exhaustion, since it was night time. Also the online play portrayed the watchman as having a double chin , which may have suggested a docile existence.

PROMPT A

The act begins , and Romeo discovers that Juliet has died. He then purchases poison and sets out to See Juliet in her grave. Friar Lawrence discovers that his letter has not reached Romeo , and sets out to die with Juliet. County Paris is grieving over Juliet, but Romeo doesn't notice him. They then fight, and Romeo kills County Paris. Because County Paris's dying wish was to be with Juliet, Romeo places County Paris with Juliet.Juliet then wakes up and kills herself. The watchmen come, and the heads of families arrive, and see what has happened

Act 4 scenes 4-5

PROMPT A
During this chapter the household prepares for a wedding and then it turns to a funeral. Early on they are not aware that Juliet is "dead", and Lord Capulet is commanding servants around, telling them to "make haste". The nurse then discovers that she is "dead". The whole family fgrieves for Juliet, and the wedding turns into a funeral. The musicians realize that they will have no job and chose to leave , however Peter makes many rude jokes about them delaying their departure.
PROMPT E
 

I choose this picture , because it shows a being that does not look very alive. However the text seems to indicate otherwise. Juliet is the same in the sense that she appears dead but is alive. 

Act 4 Scenes 1-3

PROMPT B

Romeo and Juilets separation reminds me of the Syrian refugee crisis. In the Syrian Refugee crisis familys(and lovers) have been torn apart by civil warl. The civil war is similar to the constant fighting of the Montagues and Capulet. The prince is similar to the U.N. in the sense that he tries to stop the fighting but does not achieve his goal often. His decree that anybody who fought on the streets again would be killed is similar to the U.N.'s chemical weapons stance in Syria. Friar Lawrence is similar to aid agency's , because he tries to help both Romeo and Juliet and provides a safe haven for both of them.



PROMPT C

1. Would you have trusted the friar enough to drink his poison/potion?
2. Do poison/potion like the one described in the play exist, and where they known about back then? 
3. What would your initial reaction as Friar Lawrence, been to Juliet threatening to killl herself been?
4. Do you think that county Paris actually loves Juliet based on his reaction to her death?
5. Had Juliet truly died do you think that Montague/Capulet relations would have improved?

Act 3 Scenes 3-5

PROMPT F

I believe that the relationship between Juilet and here parents is tense. They both attempt to control major events in her life, such as the wedding. When Juliet disagrees they respond angrily, as did here father in scene 5. There relationship is constantly tense , because they have to force Juliet to do what they want. Although this may have been common at the time Shakespeare may have been commenting on society.

PROMPT C

1. What should have Juliet done instead of going to the friar?
2. What do you think Juliet expects the friar to do?
3. Had the Friar done nothing do you think that Juliet would kill herself?
4. Why do you think that Lord Capulet was so angry?
5. If you were Lord Capulet what would you have told Juliet?

Act 3 scences 1-2

PROMPT E

This image hows symbolizes the fact that Juliet was able to continue loving romeo even after he killed Tybalt. Her love for Romeo was able to outweigh the possible hate she would feel because he killed Tybalt.

PROMPT A

Tybalt and a few other Capulets meet Mercutio and Benvolio. Tybalt then kills Mercutio. Romeo decides to avenge Mercutio, and kills Tybalt. When the prince arrives and tries to find out what happened Benvolio tells him what happened. Juilet's nurse breaks the news to Juliet , but miscommunicates it. Juliet initially beliefs that Romeo is dead. After Juliet has understood the nurse tells her that she thinks that romeo is at friar Laurence's cellar.

Act 2

PROMPT F

I believe that Friar Lawrence and Romeo are familiar friends. Not only did Friar Lawrence know about Rosaline, but he also scolded Romeo. Given that Romeo must be quiet powerful, being the son of the head Montigue it must take a friendship to scold him. Also Romeo trusts him to marry him, so he must be a friend. The most convincing piece of evidence is that friar Lawrence agrees.

 

PROMPT D

"He jests at scars that never felt a wound. But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?" In the first sentence Romeo rebuffs those who mock him. He is saying that Benvolio and Mercutio have never been in love and therefore they do not know what he is doing. He compares love to scars in a metaphor. In the next sentence he quickly forgets about their jests, because he saw light and believes it to be Juliet.

Act 1 scenes 4-5

Act 1 scenes 4-5:  Love Struck

Prompt B
What is happening in Romeo and Juliet reminds me of Pakistan and India. They both hate each other and often try to fight. However many people from both sides will meet and reconcile. Both sides trade with each other, and expats from each country will often group together. In downtown mountain view their is a Indian and Pakistani restaurant.

Prompt F
Did the Montague's also have parties in which Capulets would sneak in?
Was Juilet known for being beautiful?
When the play was acted did any of the actors eat food in front of the audience during the party?
What did the nurse mean when she said "No less? Nay, bigger. Women grow by men."(pg 41 in book)
Why does Capulet let Romeo stay after Tybalt tells him that he is a Montague?

Act 1 Scene 1-3

Prompt A:
Two families the Montagues and the Capulets fight in the streets. Count Paris talks with Capulet and decides that he wants to marry Capulets daughter, Juilet. Capulet gives a guest list for a party to a servant. Because the servant cannot read it he gives it to Romeo. Romeo decides that he also wants to go to the party. Lady Capulet tells Juliet that Count Paris wants to marry him.
Prompt E:

Upper class members of society fight over old family feuds. This image shows Ukrainian politicians fighting in parliament. They are fighting over party ideals; in Old England government was controlled by families instead of parties, however they are essentially the same.
