Prompt B: Interview
Host: Welcome, Prince Escalus. I am sorry to say that this meeting is tainted with the aftermath of the quarrel earlier today.
Prince: Thanks for having me. Unfortunately, those silly subjects of mine seemingly want to fight. This was the fourth time between those two families!
Host: What a shame... Might I ask, why do you think that these two families are such enemies?
Prince: I think it is because they are so alike. They both are rather wealthy, and very alike in manner. However, this likeness seems to breeds discontent and restlessness.
Host: Ah. So, because they are so alike, each family feels the need to assert themselves as the better of the pair?
Prince: Exactly. On top of that, the groups that are actually doing most of the fighting are teenagers, without a hair on their chins. You know how their minds work, they always want to fight!
Host: Very interesting. Thank you for your time, and I can only hope this problem ends soon.
It seems that the prince doesn't care if they fight and is "above them". Do you think that he is like this in reality, or does he want the fighting to stop? I think it's a mix of both
ReplyDeleteI agree with Greg's comment above. How much does the prince care about stopping the fighting?
ReplyDeleteI think the Prince does want to end the fighting, as he wants to rule with a strict hand to show who is in power. However, it seems that he does not care a ton sometimes, maybe because he himself is not physically involved in the fighting.
