The reason I chose a mango as me symbolic picture for this scene is because this is how Lady Capulet sees Juliet. She sees Juliet as a mature girl ready to start a family because she has the age to do it. But Juliet doesn't see the same as her mother Lady Capulet she sees her self as an unripe fruit.
Prompt F: Relationships
The relationship between Juliet and the Nurse is like a mother and daughter relationship. The reason for this is because the Nurse took care of Juliet when she was growing up. In the story the Nurse states to Romeo that she was the one taking care of Juliet in her early years. From what i can tell Juliet doesn't really have a strong mother to daughter connection with Lady Capulet. The reason for this is because it was the Nurse that took care of her. Lady Capulet in the other hand wants the beast for Juliet because she wants her to marry Paris so that she will grow up into woman with class.
I agree with the observation that the nurse is like a mother to Juliet. It is interesting that Juliet seems to be more connected to her nurse than her biological mother, so this may be an indication of some evil in the mother's personality.
ReplyDeleteI like the comparison and the image you chose, how does Juliet see herself as an unripe fruit?
