Prompt D

Description:

The hare symbolizes Romeo in the third scene because of Romeo's impatience towards the marriage. When talking to Friar Lawrence, Romeo quickly explains his change of heart and how his love belongs to Juliet instead of Rosaline, and his wish to marry her, "Oh, let us hence. I stand on sudden haste." Friar Lawrence is surprised by Romeo's words and tries to slow him down, "Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast." This is evidence of how Romeo's impatience and hastiness is that often represented by a Hare.
