Peter then decides to start insulting them and when he leaves the musicians decided to wait to see if they will eat the food that would be served.
Promt B
These two scenes reminded me that whenever we can something really bad there is bad consequences. When ever we make plans for something really excited there tends to go something wrong and in this scene Juliet's parents are so excite for the wedding causing Juliet to kill herself. The consequence of wanting Juliet to marry to Paris even when she didn't want to bought her death.
I really thought you summary was good. I liked how you included the part about the musicians staying fr food even though it does not seem important. However, it adds so filler in the play as in your summary, so the entirity of it is not about action.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your connection in Prompt B! I find the idea of karma really interesting and relatable. You are spot on, Juliet's attempt to escape a miserable life where she is married to Paris, a man whom she doesn't love, lead to her death when the her and Friar Lawrence's plan went awry.
