Lord Capulet--Why are you inviting so little people at the party?
The Clown--How come you are randomly inviting people to the party?
Romeo--Will you actually go to the Capulet party, while taking into consideration the danger?
Benvolio--Will you try to stop Romeo from going to the party if he tries?
Benvolio-- If you don't try to stop him, will you go to him?
Prompt A:
In the beginning of the scene we see Paris, Lord Capulet, and a servant walking down a street. Paris and Capulet are discussing another matter, but eventually end up talking about Paris taking Juliet's hand in marriage. Capulet is against it, but he continues to say if he can convince Juliet to marry him, then he would be fine with it also. Consequently, they decide to have a party and Capulet gives a list to the servant before he and Paris exit. The servant, not able to read, attempts to find someone who can, where he then runs into Romeo and Benvolio. Romeo can read, so the servant asks him to read the list for him, and so he does, and before exiting to find these people, the servant verbally invites Romeo to the party. Romeo considers it so, and decides to try and go to the party.
Prompt E:
This picture symbolizes the scene in the way that they're both on different sides of a barrier that is impassable. Another big similarity I see is that both Romeo and Anna want to be with the person they love but the barrier is keeping them separate.

I relate with the picture of Elsa and Anna. Great connection. Also do you think Lord Capulet knows of the Clowns actions? If not, what do you think his reaction would be if he found out?
ReplyDeleteLucas,
ReplyDeleteIn your summary, you left out a crucial information about why Romeo decided to attend the party. (He was interested because Rosaline was in the invited list). Other than that, your summary offers a lot of information about the act. Also, I like the connection with Frozen, the Disney Movie, and Romeo and Juliet.
Lucas, I like how your summary is very detailed but easy to understand. Also, I don't know if your picture summarizes this particular chapter very well, but it is a very good analogy for the book in general.
ReplyDeleteI like how you pointed out how few people were invited to the Capulet's party, I didn't think about that. Maybe that's why the Clown is fine with inviting random people to the party. Also, who is the "they" in your Frozen picture's description? Is it referring to Anna and Elsa, or Elsa and Romeo?
ReplyDeleteGood questions about Benvolio. I think he is more of a bystander. I think he did not intervene because he does not want to come off as controlling, since he and his cousin Romeo have such a close relationship.
