"Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,
Profaners of this neighbor-stainted steel" - This quote shows how the Prince feels about the Capulets and the Montagues fighting. His is also speaking in a way that makes him seem superior to others, helping him restore peace. If the Capulets or the Montagues felt that he was not superior and did not have power over them, they would not have listened to him and would have kept fighting. The way that the prince said this really surprised me because I would assume that he would quickly put a stop to this, but instead he had a whole speech that he said that stopped them. He also was very neutral in saying this because he did not favor either the Montagues or the Capulets.
I like this quote a lot because It shows how the prince and his soldiers feel superior over everyone else and he acts rather fair because he does not immediately punish them but rather warns them about the next time they fight.
ReplyDeleteHow different would the story be if the Prince heavily favored either the Capulets or the Montagues? Would there have been a different ending?
ReplyDeletei like how you bring the non-bias factor for the prince
ReplyDeletethis is very true the prince is not bias towards either side at all. He just wants the fighting to stop. What if he favored on side, would that make one side win faster.
