“To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter” (Euripides). In Act Three, Scene Five of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet, the father of Juliet, learns that Juliet did not want to get married to Paris. In this monologue, he insults Juliet for thinking about turning down the offer and gives reasons on why she should accept the marriage. Lord Capulet uses diction to emphasize how Juliet does not have the power to turn down this proposal. For example, as he is describing Juliet, he exclaims, “And then to have a wretched puling fool, /
In act 1 scene 5 a hall in Capulet's house, I acted as Romeo. In my opinion, my acting company had a great overall performance. The day before our performance, we had a dressed rehearsal and we were told that we needed to fix our blocking and visual delivery and overnight our group got together and worked together. Playing Romeo, I had to play as a young man falling in love with a girl at first sight, for the first time seeing Juliet, Romeo was amazed at how beautiful this young girl was. At the beginning of the scene Romeo spoke to himself about what he thought of Juliet.
Juliet’s parents had just forced her to marry Paris. Upset, Juliet runs to Friar Lawrence’s cell and threatened to kill herself unless Friar can come up with a plan so that Juliet can avoid the marriage. Friar Lawrence then tells Juliet a a solution to pacify her distress, “Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink thou off… The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade… thou shalt continue two-and-forty hours, and the awake as from a pleasant sleep…and he and I will watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua” (IV.i.92-117). Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a potion to fake her death. The Friar instructs Juliet that she should drink this potion before bed without anyone knowing.
I very much enjoyed what has been occurring in Acts I and II of Romeo and Juliet. These two acts really emphasize what will happen in the rest of the story. To begin with , Act I starts of with the two guys of the Montague home who seem to be discussing how they are going to get their problems situated with the Capulet family. I don't feel that it was right to start the story off with this. However , when the two gentlemen are arguing , they do introduce some of the story's conflict like for example; the fact that the Montague and Capulet families are in a feud.
In scene 2, act 5 Juliet has been waiting for news from her nurse if she will be married to her true love Romeo and grows very impatient while waiting. When her nurse returns, she taunts Juliet not telling her anything Romeo said about the Marriage. Of course Juliet grows very impatient wanting to know right away if she will be a bride. The nurse finally tells her the good news that Juliet will be a bride to Romeo and Juliet runs to go marry her true love. The five significant points i chose were, Juliet growing very impatient with the nurse, the nurse coming back with news, Juliet following the nurse, The nurse telling Juliet she will be a bride,and Juliet going to the church to marry Romeo.
Now that Juliet is (unwillingly) being wed to Paris, the Friar sees a solution in a vial of poison that will make Juliet seem as though she’s dead. His warning speech goes: “Take thou this vial, being then in bed / And this distilled liquor drink thou off / When presently through all thy veins shall run / A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse / Shall keep his native progress, but surcease” (Act 4, Scene 1). Essentially, the Friar is warning Juliet of what how the poison will affect her. He instructs her to lay in bed as if asleep, and drink the liquid.

Oh Ken, as soon as you told me that the Parliament was voting if the UK would start to bomb Syria, I started to follow the news for knowing what they decided, finally Cameron's proposal won, I don't know if their decision was the correct or not, and I am nobody for judging them, I only hope they have taken the best decision for the UK and the security of its people, and not because of foreign pressure because sadly there will not be turning back... On the other hand, I'm not too sure if the non-participation ensures internal security, so, what does it do in these cases? It's too difficult to know it... Macri isn't a true peronist, but How can you win an election in a country where the most people are peronists? surely, you would need of their votes otherwise it would be impossible doing it; then, the most of the candidates claim to be peronists or at least they try to show themselves as too close to the peronist ideas, and as you can find what you want into the

The costumes chosen for Romeo and Juliet Act 3, Scene 5 were specifically chosen for their symbolism and their convenience. The main Lady Capulet piece was a floral blanket. It represented the rich and their power as they have the money to purchase ornate objects.

In Romeo and Juliet, my favorite part was in Act 2, Scene 2. Which was the balcony scene, I like this scene because it touches your heart and realizes how much their last names get in the way of them loving one another. This was the best to me because Romeo goes up to Juliet's house, and they talk about how much they love one another. I also liked how Juliet came to the realization for a little bit that maybe falling in love too fast isn't a great idea. I feel like this showed that she was a smart kid and realized the negative things that could happen if they got married young without parent's approval.
