Act 1 Scene 5: Constrained anger isues

Prompt C
In Act 1 Scene 5, Tybalt is angry when he sees Romeo in the party. He says, "I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall, now seeming sweet, convert to bitt'rest gall." I enjoy this quote because it foreshadows what will happen later in the book, wherein Capulet's daughter dies because of her grief from Romeo's death. This is ironic because it could of been stopped if he let Tybalt go banish Romeo.

  1. I like how you talked about foreshadowing and how you connected the beginning to the end.

  2. Why do you think the author did that?

  3. I never noticed that this quote was foreshadowing. Good observation. Why do you think it was put there?

  4. If Tybalt had banished Romeo after their Romeo and Juliet's first encounter, do you think that Juliet would have followed him? Very nice analysis.

  5. Well, I thought that Tybalt wanted to kill Romeo, so he wouldn't actually banish him. And if Tybalt had killed Romeo, how would Juliet feel?
