3.3 Talking to a Wall

Prompt B:

 Accepting and making the best of a harsh reality is a better option than losing all hope.

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. 

1.2 Fateful Arrangement

Prompt A
         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.
