05.22 - Romeo and Juliet: On the Balcony (Part II)

At the beginning of class today, partners had the first few minutes of class to run through the lines from their selection of Act II, scene ii where Juliet and Romeo have the balcony scene. We then went out to the back stairwell and picked back up with our run through of this scene. After we finished presenting this scene, we went back into the classroom and talked about Juliet and Romeo's motivations in getting married.

Next, we watched this scene in the Zeferelli and Baz Luhrmann film versions of the play. We will analyze this scene in more detail tomorrow and then continue to move through the play.

Homework:


Identify a quote from Act II, scene ii for Romeo and a quote for Juliet that you can use to analyze their maturity and relationship suitability for a reading log in class tomorrow.
