English 9 Class Notes

Objectives: Freshmen identified and explained plot, character, and setting in a drama.

Hey kids, we finished the first act of Romeo and Juliet. It seems like a bit since we started, but remember that we had Monday off. Key people to know: obviously our title characters, but also Tybalt, Mercutio, and Benvolio, and the Nurse. It’s Sunday afternoon when we meet Romeo after the Capulets and Montagues fight in the city, and he’s bemoaning his unrequited love for Rosaline. That same evening, though, he forgets Rosaline when he claims to fall in love with thirteen year old Juliet, whose mother urgently wants her to consider marriage to Count Paris.

Complete your chain of events document for Friday; we’ll compare and contrast Benvolio and Mercutio characters then, too.

See you Friday.
