In Act 1 Scene 2, a man named Paris discusses with Capulet, Juliet's father, about wanting to take Juliet's hand in marriage. Even though Capulet wants Juliet to get married, he does not really like Paris, so he decides to throw a ball at his house to find Juliet a husband. When Capulet sends his servant to tell the families about the ball, the servant cannot read the letter. Stumbling upon Romeo and Benvolio, the servant asks them to read the guest list. Realizing that the girl he loves is attending the ball, Romeo plans on going to meet his true love.

Prompt B:
The theme of this passage is that fate will present itself in times of need.

Prompt E:

I chose this image because it symbolizes Romeo's key of his fate of love. Since Romeo is so in love with Rosaline and he is being depressed that he can't be with her, when he is presented an opportunity to meet with her, it is almost like his key to success. This key opportunity will open the gates to the rest of the story and how the rest of the scenes play out.
