'Romeo and Juliet'- True Love and True Similar


My group’s analysis focuses on how Shakespeare tries to show that Romeo and Juliet were in true love because they had similar characteristics and said similar things.  This will improve my understanding of Romeo and Juliet because it will improve my belief that Romeo and Juliet were soul mates in in love.  It also builds on the ideas that Shakespeare said about true love because it ends tragically. But it is almost happy because it showed that true love has the strongest power over anything else in the world.

Our group will perform parts of Act 2, Scene 2, Act 3, Scene3, and Act 3, Scene 2.  We will highlight the similarities between Romeo and Juliet by having them played by two girls who look and act similarly.  We will have the Nurse and Friar Lawrence played by the same person, show is a boy and this will show the differences between the two characters.  We will also set up the stage with a door for the baloney scene which will show that Romeo and Juliet are opening the hearts and speaking from their hearts which will how that they have a similar way of thinking and are truly in love with each other.  They are talking to each other and they don’t acknowledge the other’s ability to hear.

There are four characters in our scenes – but they are played by three different actors.  Adler will play the Nurse and Friar Lawrence.  Bryn will play Romeo, and I will play Juliet.  We will work to ether as equal partners to that each person can work on their part and have about three minutes of peaking parts during the play.
