Romeo an Juliet Response 2

Shortly after Romeo and Juliet meet each other at the Capulet's feast. They see each other again. Romeo scales a wall to enter the Capulet's garden to see Juliet. After Romeo finishes speaking Juliet starts to say how she will no longer be a Capulet. Here I think that Juliet wants to be with Romeo and get married with him instead of Paris. I also think that Romeo could be afraid of the dark because in Act 2 Scene 2 line 146-147 he says O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard, Being in the night,".

Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 1 Response

Dear Bob,


Today in my class we started to read Romeo and Juliet. So far we have read Act 1 Scene 1. It starts off by the Montague's(Romeo's family) and the Capulet's(Juliet's family). The fight started by two servants of the Capulet's. The servants Sampson and Gregory are waling together on the street and Sampson says how he would do things to the the Montague's maids. Shakespeare uses some inappropriate words to say that Sampson will like rape them. They then bump into a Montague and then start talking which then leads to a fight between the Capulet and Montague families. The Prince then comes to end the fight and warns them that one more if the fight one more then they will have to pay the forfeit of the peace since this is their 3rd time fighting.
I found that reading Shakespeare is interesting but at the same time a little hard to read. Some words are difficult to say. I was so into the book that I accidentally read up to scene 3! I can't wait to read more
