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.
1. Write a 150-word paragraph in which you describe the dramatic context of this passage. Thomas resulted to declaring his speech in Act I when he was in an argument with Humphrey and Margaret concerning his status as the devil and his ability to predict when Judgment day is.

The scene could have went a different way with a different outcome, but instead there was an element of choice that led to Mercutio’s death. A key point in the chapter was when Tybalt insulted Romeo by saying, “thou art a villain” (II.i.63). When Shakespeare uses insults, people expect a retaliation attack or insult, but Romeo didn’t say anything. Tybalt knew what he said would trigger either Romeo or Mercutio and would ultimately cause a fight. What Tybalt said should’ve triggered Romeo to fight him, but instead he backed down which forced Mercutio to step up and defend Romeo.
Act IV of Romeo and Juliet, provides a whirlwind of emotional thoughts and structures of choices as to how Romeo and Juliet will eventually see each other. First, Friar Laurence and Juliet make a plan to avoid Juliet’s marriage to Paris, which involves her telling Capulet that she will marry Paris, faking her own death, and eventually running off to Mantua to be with Romeo. When Juliet returns home, she apologizes to her father and tells him that she will marry Paris the next day. Then, Juliet tells the Nurse and Lady Capulet that she wishes to be left alone, and prepares to drink Friar Laurence’s potion. Juliet ponders if Friar Laurence is trying to kill her, or what will happen if she wakes up in the tomb, but never doubts that Romeo
