English 9 Class Notes

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

Freshmen, we continued Romeo and Juliet today, and, with some difficulty, worked our way through scene 3 of act 2 in which the friar chides Romeo and then agrees to marry him to Juliet (but for his own reasons).

I found clips of Mercutio’s Queen Mab speech from act 1 and Romeo and Juliet’s (stomach-turning) balcony scene in act 2, both from Franco Zeffirelli’s film of the play. Compare them to the scenes as we’ve viewed them from the 1976 teleplay; in what ways are they similar, and in what other ways are they different?

See you Wednesday.
