Prompt E:
In "The Balcony Scene," the relationship is strong. Juliet is confused whether or not she likes Romeo because of his name and the fact that he is a Capulet. She uses a flower to represent how names do not matter and Romeo tells her that he has no name that is against her. They quickly become very fond of each other and Juliet only realizes once that it is going very fast. She then forgets about that and they start making out. They plan to get married the next day. The relationship that they have is not a very logical one. It is going way to fast and it is completely based on looks. They haven't even met each other's friends or family but they decide to marry each other.
Do you think that a quick marriage like this would be successful today?

ReplyDeleteDo you think that this is love at first sight?
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very good summary about Act 2 Scene 1
ReplyDeleteWhen Friar Lawrence talks about taking it slow; how do you think that he conflicts with Romeo's actions?
ReplyDeleteDo you think that if they had met each other's family and friends first their marriage would have been stronger?
