Act 5, Scene 3: Romeo poisons himself

This picture represents how Romeo feels hearing that Juliet has died. Because of his unbearable sadness, he feels that he has to take his own life, and does so.

Act 3 Scene 5: Juliet is forced to marry Paris

This picture represents the lack of freedom Juliet has. She is being forced to marry Paris against her will, as represented by this picture showing shackling and loss of freedom.

Act 3: Scene 1: Mercutio and Tybalt fight

This picture represents the state Romeo is in trying to break up the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio. He, a single referee, cannot prevent a fight between Mercutio and Tybalt, hockey players. By the time he manages to stop the fight, it is too late, in the hockey case, people have fought each other, in Romeo's case, Mercutio is dead.

Act 2 Scene 4: Nurse Talks about Benvolio and Mercutio

The Nurse asks Romeo, "I pray you sir, what saucy merchant was this that was so full of his ropery?" and Romeo replies "A gentleman, Nurse, that loves to hear himself talk and will speak more in a minute than he will stand to in a month." (99)

This shows how Romeo is starting to become trapped between two sides of his life, his life with Juliet, and his life with his friends and his family. He does not always agree with his own family, and cares a lot about Juliet. However, he does not want to make his family upset, and keeps his plans and love for Juliet a secret. It is in a way related to Romeo's death, as his death is related to him not doing what his family wants do do, being trapped between different aspects of his life. I like these lines, as it shows a lot about Romeo's character and the dilemma he faces.

Act 2 Scene 2: Balcony Scene

This picture reminds me of the balcony scene. Romeo talks of how his name is whatever Juliet wants his name to be, as he feels that he would do anything for, and he explains how he would do anything for Juliet. In the scene, Romeo and Juliet feel that the other completes them, and that they could not exist without the other.

Act 1 Scene 3: Romeo talks of Rosaline

Act 1 scene 3, Romeo says, "When the devout religion of mine eye, maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fire; all those who, often drowned, could never die, Transparent heretics, be burnt for liars, One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun." This line shows how Romeo is rash and does not think ahead or rationally when in love. He should be able to realize that he may fall in love with someone else, but instead he foolishly believes that Rosaline is the only person he could possibly fall in love in, and that no one is prettier. However, once he meets Juliet, he believes the same about Juliet, that she cannot be replaced. I liked this scene as it shows a lot about Romeo's character, both directly and indirectly.

What is it?

What is it?

What is it,

that everybody wants?

That they’ll do anything for?

That supersedes

individuality,

morals,

even happiness,

although some trade it for happiness.

What is it

to be so important?

What is it

that we let control our lives?

What is it,

controlled by the few,

that controls the masses?

A new technology?

A new form of medicine?

Could it possibly be money?

Whatever it is,

Remember what’s truly important in life.
