Courtly loverOpposite character to Tybalt in Act 1 Scene 1
Feminine character
Absent from the fighting
Speaks in immature rhyming couplets
Is "in love" with a Capulet
Discussion question: Does Romeo lack honour or pride in this scene or does he lack both? Explain and discuss.
I really am getting radgy with this planning and because the paragraphs are scatted all over my book i'm getting confused on which paragraph is which, for the paragraph act 1 scene 1 ' why does shakespeare introduce romeo in this way' how does he introduce him is it feminine?
ReplyDeleteHey Sach
ReplyDeleteDon't get "radgy". Use the sheet I gave you yesterday and number your paragraphs. Job done :-)
Romeo is introduced in opposition to the other males in the two families. They are all fighting for family honour and Romeo is dreaming about love. It's the comparison with the other males that makes him feminine, especially given that none of the women fight so Romeo is aligned with the women.
