Romeo and Juliet: Video Post

This video relates, because it is Damien Rice singing about a girl he loves, but can't be with. This is a lot like what is going on between Romeo and Juliet at the moment, with both of them being in love with each other, but not being able to be together.

Romeo and Juliet Photo Post

This photograph relates to Romeo and Juliet, because this is a photograph of Verona, Italy, the place where this play takes place. The wall is completely covered with grafiti and love notes, all placed on top of each other to the point that none of it is even readable anymore.

Romeo and Juliet: Act 2

Something that happened, in Romeo and Juliet: Act 2, that I found it to be interesting was when Romeo decided to sneak back to Juliet's balcony, climbing over the tall garden wall. After climbing the wall Romeo and Juliet talked to each other for quite a long time, struggling to say bye to each other. By the end of their conversation, they had decided to get married.

I believe this event will change the way Romeo and Juliet treat each other for the rest of the book. Now, they both know that they love each other and will do whatever they can to be together.

I chose to write about this event because it reminds me of a personal experience that I had once as a young boy, when I snuck back to the house of a girl I really liked, named Laurel. When I got there, we struggled to say good-bye to each other for the longest time, but we finally decided to leave each other for the night. I can completely understand why Romeo did what he did, and I, too, would have done the exact same thing.

Characters in Romeo and Juliet

I believe the character Romeo, in Romeo and Juliet, is a man, from Verona, of very good behavior. In my opinion Romeo is a boy who has no care at all about his parents problems with the Capulets and doesn't really worry too much about going to the Capulets' party. Romeo, to me, seems like a boy who is being held back by his parents, having to follow strict rules he doesn't believe in, finally breaking free and becoming a hoodlome.
I think my friend, Brendan, is most like Romeo because he, too, wants to break free from his parents rules, but is stuck following them right now. This is just like Romeo being held back by his parents. Therefore, my friend, Brendan, is most like Romeo.
