Promptbook Act 2: Scene 2: Balcony Scene
Romeo: "To Juliet you 're so pretty and shine just like the sun, the pale moon is so jealous of you... You know what I 'm saying girl? You 're the finest in New York and your eyes sparkle like the stars. "
Juliet: "Oh my!"
Romeo: (quietly whispers) "Speak again Juliet! You look like an angel from heaven that all the guys in New York wanna date."
Juliet: "Oh Romeo! Our families don 't get along... You know that. We have two options, you can change your surname, or swear you love me and I 'll change mine."
Romeo: "You talk so much girl!"
Juliet: "Romeo, it 's only your name that 's my enemy!"
Romeo: "huh? What is she saying?"
Juliet: "Your name doesn 't define who you are! You 'd still be yourself if you changed your name. What defines a Montague anyway? It 's not a hand, a foot, or any other body part for that matter! Even if you had a different name you would still be yourself. If we called chocolate by any other name it would still be just as sweet. Change your name and we can be together!
Romeo: "Yo, I only understood about half of that but I trust you! I 'll change my name!"
Juliet: "Um excuse me, who is on the balcony below mine eavesdropping on me? Is it my neighbor who lives below me?"
Romeo: “I don’t know how to tell you who I am. I hate my name because it’s yo enemy. You know what I’m sayin?”
Juliet: “I have not heard you say 100 words yet, but I recognize your

  • Adversity In Romeo And Juliet

    In William Shakespeare’s timeless play Romeo and Juliet, two star crossed lovers are faced with great adversity as they hide their romance from their feuding families. As author James Lane Allen once said, “Adversity does not build character, it reveals it”. Romeo, a Montague, struggles to hide his love for the Capulet daughter, Juliet, from his family and friends. The challenge of lying to his closest companions, and going against his family’s ways to secretly marry Juliet causes Romeo to act erratically and carelessly. Throughout Act 3 Scene One, Shakespeare exposes the lovestruck Romeo’s mercurial nature and impulsivity through his thoughtless actions.

    Juliet is expressing her concerns that she is in love with a Montague and she doesn’t think that her family will be approving their relationship. Juliet questions why does Romeo have to be a Montague. During this soliloquy, Juliet also says the famous lines,” What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other word would smell as sweet”, meaning that a name is a name and a person is a person and the name does not label the person (II.ii.43-44).

    Question 1 I have chosen to analyze a passage on page 109 from line 1-10. In this passage Romeo looks up at Juliet's window hoping to catch a glimpse of her. He compares Juliet to the sun and prays that it's not the maid that is the light "through yonder window breaks". Shakespeare uses a mix of both enjambment and caesura (line 3, line 6 & line 9) in this particular passage.
