Prompt C
Lady Capulet says, "Read o'er the volume of Young Paris' face, and find delight writ there with beauty's pen."
This line interests me because of all the symbolism. Throughout the whole passage Lady Capulet is comparing County Paris to a book. In this metaphor she is telling Juliet that she needs to examine him and get to know him like you would with a book. Juliet has no interest in marrying Paris. However, the nurse urges her to look him over and try to connect with him. Instead of telling her daughter that she must love him, she is just asking her to make an effort.
I think it is great that instead of forcing Juliet to marry someone she does not love or like, they ask her to make an effort into getting to know him and possibly falling in love.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Even though the play is set during a time when girls would be forced to marry whoever their parents picked, Juliet's parents are taking her opinions into account.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all
