Act 1 - Scenes l, ll, and lll
Prompt B
The insults and arguments remind me of how I the country behaviors are. We post tariffs on other's goods, meaning we don't accept it fairly. This seems to be an insult to the country giving things to us. This is related to when Sampson 'bites his thumb' at Capulet. That gesture is insulting, like the tariff.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the fight was about more than just the accusation of Sampson biting his thumb. It seems like the families have been rivals and have fought like this before. However, I would like to know what started the family rivalry.
ReplyDeleteThe story is being written a long time ago, and I think that even though it means nothing to us, it has meaning to them. Personally I wouldn't see biting a thumb as a big deal, even for them. It was the only way to not do something illegal, which makes it seem like it wasn't bad after.
ReplyDeleteI really loved this quote also. I also noticed that the servants wanted to start a fight, and they purposely bit their thumbs at the others with every intention of starting a brawl. I would also like to know how the conflict between the two families started.
