Lord Capulet and Count Paris are in a conversation that turns to a wedding arrangement between Paris and Capulet's young daughter, Juliet. Lord Capulet says that Juliet is too young to marry and should wait another few years. Then, he gives a messenger a list to invitees to a dinner that will be held at his palace. The messenger cannot read the list, but he sees Romeo and Benvolio walking up the street and wonders if they can read. Romeo reads the script for him and gets into an argument with Benvolio over whether he should go to the dinner. However, it is clear that adventurous Romeo will go despite Benvolio's counterarguments.
Prompt B
There is a theme of unrequited love between Romeo and Roseline, and between Paris and Juliet.
Prompt E
There are many instances of repulsion, failed loves and the arguments between Romeo and Benevolio. I think that all the characters in time will learn not to force repelling magnets together like they are in this scene.

I liked your image and the way you incorporated it with the story. The idea that you cannot force to magnets together because they repel each other is a metaphor for how you cannot force two people to love each other. This is a very good metaphor for the idea that you cannot force love.
ReplyDeleteI like the metaphor you used, comparing the characters of the play to repelling magnets. I think it really portrays the conflict in this scene.
ReplyDeleteI thought your image was really interesting, and I find it interesting that put a citation at the end.
ReplyDeleteI like the metaphor you showed with your image. It really exaggerates the differences between Romeo and Bonvolio.
