Beginning Romeo and Juliet

Something a bit different

Everybody, or almost everybody, has posted her character's actions and motives on the forum, at least as far as through the first two acts. We'll do the same physical arrangement to discuss them as we did with The Tempest, but in this case the characters won't need to summarize their actions, because we'll put their posting up on the wall.

What we'll do in each case is discuss whatever seems appropriate to that character's actions, motives, and function in the scene. If you have questions about your own character, now's the time; if you wonder about implications for the play more generally, go for it; if there are words or lines we need to explicate, we'll do that, if we can.

As you've probably noticed, acts III through V are now on the forum. By class time Tuesday you should have posted for the rest of the scenes in which your character appears. I hope we'll finish the play, so we can all go see it next week.
