Prompt E:
Romeo is banished Verona, but he will kill himself rather than leave. Instead of arranging a new life in the vast outside world, he can only look back with remorse at the barriers that separate him from his hometown. This is a very pointless reaction to banishment because there is no point in arguing with the Prince's word.
Prompt F:
There is a strained friendship between Romeo and Friar Lawrence. The friar tries to mentor Romeo into making good decisions for himself, but Romeo is often quite stubborn. For example, when Friar Lawrence tells Romeo to hide himself so that he will not be discovered in Verona, Romeo refuses. This rebelliousness causes the friar to become angry at times. However, the friar continues to act in Romeo's best interest, promising that he will try to sway the Prince to let Romeo return to Verona. While Romeo and Friar Lawrence were friends after the he married Romeo and Juliet, their relationship has transformed after Romeo's banishment to a more stern alliance.
Good job on the picture relating to Romeo. It was well thought out and nicely put together.
ReplyDeleteI like how you connected all three prompts with the same message that Romeo needs to look into the future rather than at the past. If he would have realized this things would have turned out much better for him in the book. Good job!
