Romeo and Juliet Scene 1 act 1 & 2


Swords Drawn
Lovesick idiot drones on and on
Quarrel between Montagues and Capulets continues; the end not to be seen.
Shakespeare continues to annoy Alaskans
Confession of love
Bachelor on the prowl

List of Characters:
Tybalt-
Sampson- “bite thumb saying
Gregory- my favorite
Capulet-
Lady Capulet-
Montague-
Lady Montague-
Paris-
Benvolio-
Balthasar-
Abram-
The Chorus-
Rosaline-

The prologue hooks the readers and gives a snippet of what is about to happen.

We had known, and dated, each other for years now; with every year passing by I grew to love her more and more. Tonight is the night I shed my bachelor’s skin.

 Love at first sight, in my mind, does not exist. He and she just don’t stare across the cafeteria table and instantly say, “I love you”. It takes time to build a relationship. For instance in Twilite, Stella checked out one Sullen before her eyes landed on Edweird. She later had issues choosing between Edweird and Yakob. However, her ultimate choice landed on Edweird. This just proves there are up and downs in a relationship; there are always uncertainties, and never a one hundred percent sureness of their devotion.
Romeo also proclaimed his love for Rosaline to be so anguishing that his life was over when she did not love him back. Then all of a sudden he loves Juliet. Obviously he has some hard times choosing.

We will be married in a couple months. Such a large step! My fiancé and I, we know it was well worth the wait.

  1. "Shakespeare continues to annoy Alaskans"? Hhhmm. It might be a long couple of months.

    Outstanding job on the hook and thesis. Also, your use of Twilight is well done. I wonder if the return to the hook at the end should be before your conclusion? Usually, you want to comment on the returned hook - let the last thing in the essay be yours.
