Prompt D :" I defy you stars". This refers to fate. he believed that fate would bring Juliet in him together and that they were destined. Now that he thinks Juliet is dead, he doesn't believe in fate anymore. he decides hat he doesn't need fate anymore.
Prompt c:
Juliet_ you said you would rather die than marry paris right, even though romeo Is dead, would you consider running way alone instead of killing yourself?
Romeo- Why didn't you at least meet with frair before killing yourself?
Frair- D you feel party responsible for Romeo and Juliets deaths?
Everyone- Who do you think Is at blame the deaths?
Prince- Do you think if you had stop the fighting with the Caplets and Montague's sooner, Romeo ad Juliet would still be dead?
Prompt B :
In the fault in our Stars, there is a quote that says " and in the end we can blame the stars or tell ourselves that it wasn't meant t be, that it wasn't destined to happen. But deep down we now that the stars were not at fault and it wasn't ' meant to be'. The fault was in ourselves". This quote is very similar to when Romeo finds out Juliet is dead. In the fault in our stars when (something I'm ot trying to spoil) happens they get upset and ask why me. Romeo asks the same thing and pretends to blame fate when really the problem was the feud between the two families and the poor execution of the plan.
To answer your questions:
ReplyDelete1. I think Juliet could not run away from her home because it is too risky. Her parents would not allow her to leave and it is dangerous for her to have an accomplice.
2. Romeo did not know that a friar would be coming, so the thought never crossed his mind as he only wanted to be reunited with Juliet.
3. I think the Friar feels very responsible for their deaths and that is the reason why he acts so cowardly at the end.
4. I don't think you can put the blame to just one specific person, everyone had a role in the tragedy.
5. Romeo and Juliet would have for sure been alive because they could have been married and accepted by their families.
Your first question for Juliet is a good one. I wonder why Friar Lawrence wanted to use the plan with the potion first and then have Juliet run away, as opposed to her just running away immediately.
ReplyDeleteRomeo seemed like he was so distraught about Juliet's death that he doesn't think rationally. Once he saw Juliet's dead body, he was certain she was dead, so there was no need to confirm that with anyone else. I wonder how many people knew that such a fake death potion exists.
The Friar probably does because of his confession to the prince. He knows he is partly guilty and faces the consequences from the prince.
As we saw, there are many possible things to blame for the deaths, and many may not be people. Some examples would be the Prince blaming himself for not stopping the fighting sooner or many other characters blaming fate.
If the fight hadn't happened and Romeo wasn't banished, I think the situation would be a lot different. The wedding with Paris probably wouldn't happen for awhile and Romeo and Juliet would have time to disclose their marriage.
