Act 5 Scene 3: The Downfall of the Lovers

Messanger - Why did you not try to give the letter to the messenger who gave Romeo the news about the death of Juliet?

Romeo - Why not choose to also kill the page who found Paris and Romeo in Juliet's funeral room?

Friar Lawrence - Why not make Juliet drink less poison so she would wake up sooner?

Romeo - Why did you choose to kill yourself instead of asking Friar Lawrence for an explanation?

Paris - Does Paris know that Juliet does not actually love him?

Act 3 Scene 5 Prompt C

In Act 3 Scene 5 Lady Capulet says:

"We will have vengeance for it, fear thou not.
Then weep no more. I'll send to one in Mantua,
Where that same banished renegade doth live,
Shall give him such an unexpected dose
That he shall soon keep Tybalt company;
And then I hope thou wilt be satisfied."

This quote is especially interesting because it shows how one sided the Capulet-Montague argument was. Tybalt was already accused of being the person who played Mercutio. It is showing that all the Capulets want is revenge on their own situation rather than looking at the situation from both sides. The one-sidedness of this decision shows the stubbornness of the two families and the reason behind their dispute. Neither family is willing to think from both sides.

Act 2 Scene 6 Prompt D

As Romeo and Juliet prepared  to get married, they form a bond that becomes inseparable. Their love becomes intimate and they prepare to share their lives with each other just like the picture of these two people holding hands shows the bond between Romeo and Juliet.

Act 2 Scene 2 Prompt E

The nurse is extremely nervous about the wedding at hand. In order to find out more details about what's happening, he visits Romeo to know more details about the wedding. The nurse is concerned that Romeo is not the right guy so he questions him. Also, he uses Romeo as a method of information in order to know who else will be there at the wedding. By requesting who else is at the wedding and commenting on their specific intentions of being there, the nurse is still doubtful of Romeo yet trusting the ceremony will go correctly. The nurse wants to trust Romeo but is slightly doubtful of his intentions since he is from the house of Montagues.

Act 2 Scene 2 Prompt 2

Romeo -  Is he willing to give up being rich and a Montague for the love of Juliet?

Juliet - Why is Juliet willing to go into marriage with Romeo so fast?

Romeo - Why does Romeo choose to hide from Juliet and think about her rather than confronting her straight on?

Juliet - How does Juliet plan for this marriage to work?

Romeo - Is he so lovestruck that he can't deal with the family he belongs to nor his own family?

ACt 1 Scene 1 Prompt B

Sampson, Gregory - Why were you two carrying swords on a normal day? Were you expecting a fight?

Abram - Why are you trying so hard to provoke a fight with Sampson and Gregory even though you are outnumbered?

Tybalt - Why is Tybalt so confident that he will win if the men fight? Is his arrogance bigger than his actual capability to fight?

Prince - Why punish the entire family if only very few members were present at the fight?

Romeo - Why does Romeo spend more time whining about Rosalind rather than trying to woo her?

Society

Society

There are two types of people in this world:

the problem makers, and the problem solvers;

Those who want the world to rot and those who want to prevent that;

the haters and the lovers;  

the poor and the rich;

the criminals and the crime solvers,

the bad and the good,

the perverts and the knights,

the peasants and the kings,

the dictators and the presidents,

the managers and the leaders.

Yet when we look at these pairs,

we always find ourselves thinking,

we want to be one and we want to stay away from the other.

However, looking upon it at second glance,

we see that these wonderful pairings make up what we called society.

Without people who create problems, no one would know what to fix,

Without bad, no one would know the difference between good and bad,

Without the poor and shelterless, we wouldn’t know the privileged from the non-privileged.

Like a butterfly that needs two wings to fly,

Good and evil complement each other to make society flow smoother than silk,

yet pains us all the more.
