Host: Good morning Friar!
Friar: Good morning!
Host: So I understand that in the last scene Romeo came to you with a different person whom loved. What was going through your head when he came to you?
Friar: Well, at first I was super surprised. It was just such a fast descision that seemed like it was never going to be made in a lifetime. He was set on Rosaline, you know, and I didn't think in the world that he would give that up. There was so much crying and sadness and love that I didn't ever think he would let her go in a lifetime.
Host: Wow. That's some powerful stuff. Are you happy that Romeo moved on to a different love? Or do you think that he made the wrong choice?
Friar: See, that's a really hard question that I'm not sure how to answer. On one hand, I'm really happy for Romeo that he got himself out of that hole of depression that he dug himself into with his never ending love for Rosaline. On the other hand, JULIET IS A FREAKING CAPULET! I mean, what the heck! Talk about a relationship that's not gonna work out. Imagine what it would be like for Juliet to bring her husband to meet her parents! It could start a war! Anyway, in the grand scheme of things, I'm happy that he's happy and that's all that matters.
Host: So what is your mindset now about the future, and what do you see coming soon?
Friar: Once Romeo's and Juliet's families respect their children's love for what it is, they will soon realize the similarities between them and stop fighting. I think that the lord almighty has given us a chance to make peace with our fellow brothers and to work together. I truly believe that two young people like Romeo and Juliet can have that power.
Host: Wow. That's some really empowering stuff! Thank you so much for coming on the show!
Friar: Thank you for having me!
This interview is great! Through this conversation you were able to really decipher the Friar's thoughts, and I definitely agree with the fact that Romeo and Juliet's love has great power to change the relationship between the two families.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. This format seems to work well when you use it like this. I imagine that other plays would also be explained well like this, perhaps such as Macbeth.
ReplyDeleteGreat interview from both perspectives! I like how you wrote out your interpretation of the Friar's thoughts and made it clear that the Friar holds a great amount of power between the two families and has the chance to lessen the violence between the Montagues and Capulets.
ReplyDeleteI really like Friar's character that you show through his dialogue! This really shows how Friar wants the best for Romeo.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I love how you had a lot of emotion in your interview. I could really feel what the Friar was feeling and how he was reacting to Romeo.
ReplyDeleteNice writing. I really like how you managed to put yourself in the Friar's mindset and how you gave in depth on how he might feel.
