Connecting with Romeo and Juliet

      Reading at home I get original ideas of what's going to happen and how I interpret the lines.  In Act 1 Scene 1, Benvolio and Tybalt interrupt the servants fighting; this is showing that there will always be a peacemaker and an over-prided person in a situation. These two men also foreshadows the relationship between them, and there will most likely be another situation like this further in the play and the reactions may be different. The nurse in the Capulet family is more of a mother to Juliet than Lady Capulet is. The show case mom, Lady Capulet, is very egotistical and her comments are going to be hateful but satirical. I think her lines we could usually find a pun in. In Act 1 Scene 4 Romeo's character is firstly introduced. when Romeo is talking to Benevolio we sense Romeo's personality easily. I think Romeo will be fun to read, he will be saying romantic lines with many metaphors.

      Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare has truly interest me. All the general plot summary just sounds like a sappy love story but Shakespeare's language and the way he tells the story is hard and interesting to decipher at times. When I read at home, I usually keep track of character personalities, relationships, and motifs. During class while reading I usually notice puns and metaphors whether a classmate points it out or re-reading it just made the lines more clear. It's easy to keep up with the reading assignments, there aren't many pages we have to read each night. I can usually decipher what the general idea of the whole page, but in class I learn more in depth of the lines I missed. Sometimes I look up words up in the dictionary and try to decipher the lines. Reading aloud in class does help me, what I think I read, is further in depth in literary devices than I thought.
