Both families have the same status as their rival family. Lastly, they don't know what started the feud. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885737 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885737 Tue, 26 May 2020 21:58:46 -0400 Black Woman acts as a better mother because she warns her child of the cruel world while, lady Capulet pushes her child to enter the cruel world. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885732 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885732 Mon, 18 May 2020 11:57:41 -0400 In the movie, they change how Romeo and Benvolio make it into the party. This decision changes the audience's view on the characters by showing us how they would do whatever they have to in order to see each other, no matter what happens. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885728 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885728 Mon, 18 May 2020 11:54:28 -0400 Romeo and Juliet are not wrong for wanting to explore their relationship because they're experiencing love at first sight and they are happy together. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885711 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885711 Mon, 18 May 2020 11:52:17 -0400 I think intimate scenes in the movie gives us a better view of how connected they are as one, but it may have some people thinking their relationship is built off of lust and not love. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885680 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885680 The directors made a good choice by adding more romance to the play because it allows us to see how invested they are in their relationship, especially since their families are rivals. Mon, 18 May 2020 11:50:49 -0400 I don't think they were wise to help Romeo and Juliet get married secretly because the could get punished for it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885663 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885663 Mon, 18 May 2020 11:47:28 -0400 Their love story is very sad and emotional. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885660 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885660 Love is worth dying for, according to their love story. However, in my opinion, I don't think love is worth dying for but their love story was heart-wrenching. Mon, 18 May 2020 11:45:48 -0400 I think Romeo & Juliet should be a common text for all 9th graders to read. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885656 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885656 Romeo & Juliet should be a text for all freshmens to read because it is not like a regular text you read. This text involves a lot of time, thought, annotating in order to get a clear understanding, which I think is good for students. Also, it involves a lot of engagement, which is important when reading a text. Mon, 18 May 2020 11:43:32 -0400 After watch Zeffirelli and Baz Luhrmann's versions of Romeo & Juliet, I prefer Baz Luhrmann's version. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885605 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885605 Baz Luhrmann's version of Romeo & Juliet is more engaging and it has more emotion than Zeffirelli's version. Mon, 18 May 2020 11:39:57 -0400 I blame Friar Lawrence for his part in Romeo & Juliet's death. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885566 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885566 Although Juliet was dead, Romeo's kiss would have saved her, but Romeo didn't know that. Friar Lawrence did not tell him that either, he allowed Romeo to believe Juliet was dead, which resulted in him killing himself also. When Juliet woke up from Romeo's kiss, she saw that Romeo was dead and killed herself permanently. Mon, 18 May 2020 11:31:44 -0400 i would punish the Friar and the nurse for secretly marrying Romeo & Juliet. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885549 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885549 I wouldn't punish them with death but I would arrest them fora few months. Wed, 27 May 2020 13:07:17 -0400 I blame Friar Lawrence. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885545 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885545 Friar Lawrence is to blame for this because he gave Juliet a potion and Romeo now has a poisonous Potion, that Friar doesn't know about, but he knows Romeo is coming so, it was his plan. Mon, 18 May 2020 11:25:32 -0400 Apothecary is not a bad guy for giving Romeo the poison. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885531 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885531 Romeo ordered Apothecary to give him the poison,especially since Apothecary is a servant, he didn't have a choice but to give it to him. Apothecary did tell Romeo the consequences of carrying the poison so, it was up to Romeo to make that decision. Wed, 27 May 2020 13:09:11 -0400 I would definitely have doubts about the potion provided by Friar Lawrence. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885505 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885505 Mon, 18 May 2020 11:11:39 -0400 The nurse gives better advice https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885480 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885480 The nurse tells Juliet to marry Paris for Juliet’s sake and well being while Friar Lawrence tells Juliet to take the potion and kill herself the night before their wedding, which will do nothing but cause a deeper problem for Juliet and the Capulets. Mon, 18 May 2020 11:05:25 -0400 Juliet’s parents wanted her to marry Paris. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885471 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885471 Since the Montagues and Capulets are enemies, their parents should have let them get married and live their life because they were happy. Mon, 18 May 2020 10:56:32 -0400 The love Juliet has for Romeo blinds her from the tyranny acts he portrayed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885399 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885399 I do not agree with Juliet’s choice of loyalty because she does not know Romeo on a personal level. I feel as though their love is built upon lust rather than true love. Her loyalty lies with a man she has only known for two days then her relative she's known her whole life. I don't agree with this because it seems insensible and unreasonable. Mon, 18 May 2020 10:27:00 -0400 In Act 3 Scene 2, Isha, Romeo, and Alvaro read. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885390 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885390 Isha read as the narrator, Alvaro read as the nurse, and Isabel read as Juliet. Mon, 18 May 2020 10:19:49 -0400 I agree with Tybalt. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885369 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885369 As enemies, the Montagues and Capulets are not supposed to be crashing each other’s parties. It will only cause conflict as it did in Act 3 Scene 1. I understand Tybalt’s frustration because they were not supposed to be there and the Montagues should have left since they were not welcome. Also, Mercutio drew his sword first and he is a Montague so, they started the fight. Wed, 27 May 2020 12:30:57 -0400 Isha, Isabel , and Alvaro read Act 3 Scene 1. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885323 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202568?scroll_to=1885323 Isha reads as Benvolio and Prince, Alvaro reads as Romeo and Mercutio, and Isabel reads as Tybalt. Mon, 18 May 2020 10:02:43 -0400 I consider Shakespeare's to be more romantic than petrarch's version of love. https://nowcomment.com/documents/198270?scroll_to=1853492 https://nowcomment.com/documents/198270?scroll_to=1853492 Petrarch's version of love is unrequited and one-sided. To me, one-sided love isn't as romantic as love that can be shared with one another. Sometimes, unrequited love stays unrequited and the two people don't feel the same love. However, with Shakespeare, the love is there and his eloquence captivate the essence of romance Thu, 30 Apr 2020 12:46:28 -0400 I, somewhat, understand why that relationship wasn't working. https://nowcomment.com/documents/198270?scroll_to=1853476 https://nowcomment.com/documents/198270?scroll_to=1853476 It is very difficult to be in love with two people because you will have to choose who you would want to be with, ultimately. From my perspective, I think their relationship wasn't working because the bond Romeo had with Juliet was stronger than the bond he had with his first love. Fri, 05 Sep 2025 14:27:09 -0400 Both opening scenes introduce the play with the prologue, yet they have different ways of doing so. https://nowcomment.com/documents/198270?scroll_to=1853407 https://nowcomment.com/documents/198270?scroll_to=1853407 I enjoyed Baz Luhrmann's version of Romeo of Juliet because it includes the characters, plot, and setting of the play while the second video doesn't seem like an ancient play, or anything like the prologue introduces. The prologue and opening scene are very contradicting. Thu, 30 Apr 2020 12:45:48 -0400
