PROMPT B
Romeo and Juliet's love is so strong that they feel that they can never live happily if the other is dead. When Romeo is informed of Juliet's first death by Balthasar, he is determined to die by her side with the help of a powerful poison. In turn, Juliet stabs herself in the chest to join Romeo after waking to find him lying dead. This reminds me very much of the relationship between two brothers on the show Supernatural. Dean and Sam Winchester have developed a close bond because their mother died when they were quite young and their father was always on business trips and left his children in various motels, so Dean practically raised Sam. Throughout the show, the brothers both die or almost die numerous times and are almost always brought back to life or health by the help of supernatural forces. The brothers are always willing to do whatever it takes to resurrect or save their brother.
PROMPT C
Prince--why didn't you address the urgency between the Montagues and the Capulets sooner?
Romeo--why do you trust that Juliet is dead immediately?
Friar Lawrence--why didn't you inform Romeo of the plan before it was set in motion to avoid deadly confusion?
Paris--why are you so upset about Juliet's death? Why do you not want to be seen when placing flowers on Juliet's deathbed?
Montagues and Capulets--if you cannot recall why your families are blood enemies in the first place, then why do you continue to show hatred towards one another?
To answer your fourth question about why Paris is so upset, I believe that he is truly in love with Juliet, since he just lost the love of his life he is most likely feeling depressed. I think he wants to be left alone when putting flowers next too Juliet because he just wants a moment of silence or peace to say his goodbyes.
ReplyDeleteSophia I really like how you compared the the book R and J to a tv series Supernatural. Also, you used some big words that really interprets the thing that you're saying.
