Romeo and Juliet journals

Journal #3
The views on marrige thus far are as follows:
Paris believes that the father should chose who his daughter should marry and he has the upmost control over this.
Romeo believes that if you are in love you should marry.
Lady Capulet believes that the father should also have total control because that is most likely how she was taught growing up.
Lord Capulet believes that the daughter should have some type of input on who she should marry so if you are not in love with a person you do not have to marry.
My belief is that you should be able to chose who you marry and you shouldn't marry before you are at least 20 because you most likely if you are younger than this are rushing into things and this could create a devastating effect on the out come on the remainder of you life.


Journal #4
i- Juliet talks of Romeo's last name meaning nothing if they are in love because that is a much stronger bond than the separation of the fight between the Capulet and Montague households. Juliet believes that this will make there feud that there parents have will become less and the love of Romeo and herself will bring the two families together in the end and the feud will cease to exist.

ii-This is significant because the moon is ever changing which could create this great changing circle of life that Romeo has and he may fall in love with someone else or they will separate because Romeo changes so much in his life.

iii-This is significant because lightning appears out of nowhere and than it disappears just as fast which could mean that Romeo and Juliet's love will come and go just as fast as lightning comes and goes in a rain storm.

1. Act 1 scene 4 lines 106 to 111
This fore shadows that some consequence will come of the montagues going to the Capulet ball that none of them could imagine and ot talks of an untimely death which could talk about the deaths to come in the play with so many characters.

2.act 2 scene 2 line 64
This line talks of a place of death which could mean where Romeo dies or Juliet or evan Mercutio and Tybalt die and creates a projection that Romeo and Juliet may die in the same place.

2. act 2 scene 2 line 70
This talks of that if any Capulet sees Romeo that hey will kill him and Tybalt sees him at the party and he decides to go after him and kill him at a different time.

Journal #6
I think that Romeo must hear Juliet proclaim her love because she had him proclaim his love and swear upon somthing he deeply cares about so he may think that for the relationship to work he must have an equal and if one of them asks for something than the other must do it to show that hey are equals in the partnership. I think that Romeo may be insecure because he rushed into marrige and he thinks that Juliet is the only thing left in the world for him to care about.

I think that they themselves are most responsoble for there deaths because they think that they can fall in love and marry within five days and this ,akes me feel like they could have slowed it down and maybe they would have avoided them dying. Them slowing down could have prevented Tybalt from killing Mercutio in the sense that if Romeo and Juliet had not wed that Romeo would have fought back against Tybalt and this would have stopped Mercutio from saving Romeo and than Romeo would never have killed Tybalt and he wouldn't have been banished that he could not get the message he was supposed to from friar John
