Act 2 Scenes 1-6: The Drama of Romeo and Juliet


Prompt E) I think this image is a good representation of scene 4 as a whole. When Romeo approaches in scene 4, Mercutio launches into an elaborate spiel of wordplay making fun of Romeo's pitiful lovelorn state. He good-humoredly berates Romeo for abandoning them the previous evening, and directs a volley of puns at him. This image is a good depiction of Mercutio teasing and making fun of Romeo. 

Prompt D) In scene 2 of act 2, Juliet is talking to herself about Romeo on her balcony while Romeo is listening. Juliet wishes Romeo would renounce his family name, and then Romeo enters and says, "I take thee at thy word. Call me but love, and I'll be new baptised. Henceforth I never will be Romeo." I like this scene because it is when Romeo and Juliet truly pronounce their love for each other. Romeo loves Juliet so much that he would go by a different name, just to be with her. This is also a very important part of the story because it is when Romeo and Juliet decide to get married.
