Lord Capulet is walking down a street with Count Paris and a servant. They start to talk about Paris' wish to marry Juliet, Lord Capulet's daughter. Lord Capulet believes she is much too young, but Paris argues that many mothers have been made happy even younger than Juliet. Capulet invites Paris to a party that night, and tells him there will be many beautiful ladies there, including Juliet. He hands a list to his servant and tells him to find all of the people on it and tell them about the party. The servant, not able to read, wonders what he will do, until Benvolio and Romeo walk down the street. He asks for their help, and as Romeo reads the list to the servant, he notices the name of Rosaline, the girl he has been pursuing. The servant then invites the two to the party. Benvolio thinks it is a great idea because if they go, Romeo can see that Rosaline does not compare to other beauties, and Romeo agrees to go.

I picked a fire as a symbol for this scene because when Romeo gets invited to the Capulet party, it sparks a fire of hope in his heart that he may finally get to meet Rosaline and maybe make her love him. However, fires can also be dangerous. Romeo is going to a party held by Lord Capulet, which he does not know. Being a Montague, things might go wrong for him and he could get in a lot of trouble.
I like the way that you interpreted further the picture's meaning and brought it into a better perspective to make us think about what'll happen at the party.
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea of using the fire as a symbol. Your interpretation makes sense, and it is a really valid metaphor. I think represents what is happening really well and you did a good job keying in on that. Good job!
ReplyDeleteAlbin, you have the exact same image that I do with the exact same commentary. Great minds think alike.
ReplyDeleteWith that being said, your in-depth explanation of how fire is connected to the scene is fantastic. I agree that fire can be used to one's own advantage but is also dangerous.
Your interpretation of Juliet's "fire" is very detailed. You explain how it can be good, but also dangerous at the same time. It makes you think.
ReplyDeleteNice job, Albin. I like your explanation of your photo. Do you think fire is a good or bad thing?
ReplyDeleteAlbin, I like the symbol and how you said it sparked a fire of hope in Romeo heart.
ReplyDeleteAlbin, I think Paris wants to marry Juliet right there and then. Juliet is the one who is hesitant.
