Prompt B) Act 5 really reminds me of the story of Snow White. Juliet takes a potion that puts her in a death like state. Snow White takes a bite of an apple that kills her. Snow White and Romeo and Juliet are both stories about star-crossed lovers. Also, the part of scene 5 where Romeo comes to Juliet's tomb reminds me of when the prince in Snow White comes to her coffin. The only difference is that Snow White lives happily ever after with her prince, and Romeo and Juliet end up both dead.
Prompt G) (Romeo in Act 5, Scene 1)- Did Balthasar just say that Juliet is dead?!? How can this be? What happened? I have no reason to live anymore. I cannot believe this. What am I going to do now? I just want to be with Juliet. Hmmm. Of course! I will go join Juliet in death, that way we can be together. But how? Hmmm. I've got it! I will take some poison that will kill me quickly, and I will go to Juliet's tomb. Once I am there, I will take the poison, and then we can finally be together. A good plan indeed. I must hurry and start the long journey to Verona!
I like how you connected the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet to a tragedy iof another tragedy.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering, what did you think of the quote?
I love the way you compared the story of Romeo and Juliet to Snow White. I would also say that the witch who gave Snow white the apple is a lot like when Frair gives Juliet the potion. I also think the reason that Snow white and the prince live and Romeo and Juliet don't because The prince was smart and did't act rashly like Romeo.
