Act 2 Scene 5: Teasing Nurse

Prompt D

This image represents how the Nurse treated Juliet when she returned to the castle with news from Romeo. All Juliet wanted was to know what Romeo had said about marrying her, much like all this dog wants is the bone. However in both of these scenarios, the desired thing, a treat and information, is being held from the beggars. Juliet begs the Nurse for the information, a lot like how a dog begs for a cookie. The Nurse does not give the news to Juliet, but instead dangles it in front of her, much to Juliet's despair. When a human does not give a dog its treated and instead tantalizes it, the dog becomes frustrated and continues to beg, which is just what Juliet does. In both cases, something which one wants desperately is being teased in front of them, instead of just giving the desired thing directly to them.

  2. I agree with michael that this is a very good analogy. Where do you think Romeo fits into this analogy?
