Romeo and Juliet Photo Post

I think that this image could symbolize a part of Romeo and Juliet. It's kind of abstract, but the slightly raised walls on either side of the heart remind me of each house, Capulet and Montague. The heart is representative of Romeo and Juliet's love, which has managed to cross the "barriers" set by their families' feud.



I got the picture from a stock photography site. I'm not precisely sure who to credit, but this is its page in the gallery: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1083039

Romeo and Juliet: Act Two

I found Scene 2 very interesting. For one, it's probably the most famous scene in the entire play, with Juliet talking to Romeo from the balcony. I really enjoyed reading this scene; it was very poetic and deep. I liked the fact that Romeo and Juliet were both speaking in long passages, which is a little odd, I guess, but I prefer the longer lines in the book. This was my favorite scene out of all of Act 2, followed by Scene 4.

I've never had any experiences like this, and I'm not exactly sure how I'd react to one. I just liked to read it, and I thought it was very romantic. I believe it will affect Romeo and Juliet's future quite a lot, as they proposed to each other in that scene. It already has, actually, because they married in the last scene of Act 2.

Characters in Romeo and Juliet: Juliet

To me, Juliet seems like a mature and thoughtful person, but in some ways still a bit childish. I think she'd look like a normal thirteen-year-old girl, probably not wearing any sort of make-up, and due to the setting of the book, I imagine her in a dress. If I met her in person, I think she'd be quiet and kind. She seems like the type of person to try to get along with everyone.

I have a friend who has a personality a bit like hers. This friend is very good at negotiating and conversing with other people, much like Juliet while she is speaking to her mother. My friend also cares about her image in the eyes of others, and she would probably react similarly to Juliet at the telling of an embarassing story involving her.
