-first part:my character is Juliet. she speaks in act 2 scene 2. i chose this part because its the part i always remembered and i love this part.
ReplyDelete-second part:my character Juliet is talking to her brave lover romeo.
-third part:my part is a part from a monologue. Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet. 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face. O, be some other name
Belonging to a man.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
-Last part: i personally think this is the most emotional love part when they are together it is so romantic. i love this part and also this is the part i can remember the most.
- I chosed the monologue in act three, scene two. which starts of as "Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband " and end as " Where is my father and mother Nurse".
ReplyDelete- In this scene Juliet is talking to Nurse. they are talking about Romeo being banished and Tybalt's death.
- This is defintely not a solioquy because in the act Juliet isn't talking to herself, she is talking to Nurse. It isn't an aside because an aside is a piece of dialogue intended for the audience and supposedly not heard by the other actors on stage, and it is pretty clear that Nurse and Juliet are having a conversation, so Nurse can perfectly hear her.
- I chose this monologue because Juliet is the main character. I like to be the "wow" girl, the girl who everyone looks at in amazement. I also like to do things to the extreme. I am a very competitive person so, I like to be on top of my game. I enjoy going about and beyond to do things. Another reason I decide to do this specific monologue is because you get an extra thirty bonus points. The thirty points would get me up to a gold star, because I dont like to be in "second place" . I can personally connect with the monologue I chose because it is about being stuck in between a hard place and a rock. Juliet is kind of sad yet happy. She is talking, and as she speaks, I understand where she is coming from. She is happy her husband lives , she doesnt really care about Tybalt because if he was alive he would have killed Romeo, which Juliet cares about most. Once i was upset about something yet happy because if this thing that had made me so angry, was still in my way, then the thing that made me so happy would have been destroyed !
my character is mercutio. in act 3 scene 2.
ReplyDeletemercutio is talking to romeo, after he has been wounded my tybalt in the battle that ultimately was his death.
this is not a soliloquy, because mercutio couldnt possibly talking to himself, and it isnt an aside, because he is in the middle of a conversation with romeo for letting him get stabbed beneath his arm.
i can relate to this monolouge, because if i was about to fight with an enemy, and my "basically" family were to get in the way, and have m eget stabbed, and die, i would go off on him as mercutio does in this monolouge. i would be pissed. and the health care back then , i see why the cut killed him. as tough, but sullen that mercutio came off as, he would have murdered tybalt dead in his own blood. tybalt really was always ahead of himself, he needed to control his temper. there was no reason for him to ACTUALLY kill mercutio. and then he was punk enough to run after he did the deed. that is just a shame.
FIRST Part:My Character Is The Nurse , Act 1 Scene 3 The Nurse Is Talking To Juliet.
ReplyDeleteSECOND Part:They Are Speaking Of Romeo Being Banished And Tybalts Death.
THRID Part:Its Not A Soliquy Because The Nurse Is Clearly Talking To Juliet. And Its Not A Aside Because They Are Talking About Romeo Being Banished And Tybalts Death.
FOURTH Part:I Choose The Character Because She Is Helping Juliet As A Motherly Person But She's Just Juliet's Nurse And I Am A Helpful Person I Like To Help People But Not Everyone. And Another Reason Is Because I Want 30 Bonus Points.Her's Is The Easiest Of Them All.
First Part- My Character is Lady Capulet, Act 1 Scene 3 Lady Capulet is taking to Juliet and the Nurse about Juliet being married or getting married.
ReplyDeleteSecond Part- They are speaking about if Juliet is happy to be getting married or not so happy about getting married.
Third Part- This is not an Soliloquy because they are talking about her getting married. An also about if she wants to get married or to Paris. Even when the Nurse is in the room she has her say so to.
Fourth Part- I choose character Lady Capulet because she is a very wise and strong person and cares about her daughter Juliet feelings about when she is getting married. Then she speaks the things that is on her mind to her daughter to let her know whats going on she is just a very good person this is why I like this character.

First: My character I have picked is Juliet. I’m reacting Act2/Scence 5. Begins with: “The clock struck nine when I did send the Nurse”. Ending with: “Hast thou met with him?” Send thy man away.
ReplyDeleteSecond Part: Juliet is talking specially speaking to nobody, only herself. She is asking herself what taking the nurse to long to return back from Romeo. Wondering to herself are the news the have gotten from Romeo bad or good.
Third Part: It’s nether a monoglue nor an aside. Reason why is because a Juliet in this scene isn’t talking to anyone. Its not aside reason why is aside is when the character in a play is directing speaking to the audiences not the actors. It’s a soliloquy, Juliet is wondering to herself well like talking to herself. Ram missing hoping the Nurse would hurry with news. A soliloquy is when the actor is neither referencing to the audiences nor actors.
Finally: Number one reason why I chose the line was because it looked easy. Easy meaning won’t take a lot of time remembering. Other reason why is, I can relate to that line of words. Sometimes I would think like that for example if I told one of my friends to ask someone I like to ask for me something. Then I would be wondering what’s taking so long and were he or she. Once they gave me the news ill be happy if it’s good the if its not then, oh well.
First Part: In my monologue, Romeo is speaking in the part of act 2, scene 2
ReplyDeleteSecond Part: In the act, Romeo is speaking to Juliet
Third Part: My lines are a part of a monologue
Finally: I can personally connect with this selection in a good way. The reason why is because I can understand the way Romeo feels when he says "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks/That I might touch that cheek!" To me it seems that he really likes Juliet. He likes he so much that he wants to touch her cheek. I know that when I like a girl a lot, I might want to touch her. To me, Romeo is very laid back and cool. He has his way with the women, but he knows what he likes. When he doesn't like you, he doesn't like you. He likes what he likes. He's just like me, thats how I know I can connect with Romeo. If I were there with Romeo back then, we would be real cool because were so much alike.
The monologue I chose is act 2 scene 2 (Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee. / Come to thy heart as that within my breast.)
ReplyDeleteJuliet is speaking to Romeo in this scene about how they are rushing into their relationship. She’s basically telling him that they haven’t done enough thinking before they got together. Even though Juliet loves Romeo she probably doesn't want to rush into things. Because if they rush into the relationship and start to marriage things might put their life in jeopardy. But at the end of her lines she telling Romeo I hope you enjoy the same sweet peace and rest I feel in my heart. So that could possibly means that’s she is ready to marry him.
This is a monologue and not a soliloquy because she isn’t thinking this she is having a conversation with Romeo and this isn’t an aside because another character hears it.
I can connect with this personally because I can see how she loves him but really doesn’t want to rush into things. If I was in love and the one I loved wanted to rush into things without thinking about things it would take some time for me to like think about what I’m getting myself into. Because what if I don’t know if I could get kilt or hurt for falling someone whose family has another problem with my family. But at the same time I would like to marry and have a happy life with the one I love because, even though I thought we was rushing into things it would be nice just to see how things would work out for us.
My character is the hotheaded Tybalt. Juliet cousin.
ReplyDeleteFirst Part: In Act 1 Scene 5 I will be doing Tybalts lines.
Second Part: After Tybalt and Benvolio get done fighting he talks about the Montague and Romeo.
Third Part: Its a soliloquy because he speaking and people can hear it its not a aside because their talking about Romeo.
I can personally connect with this person because sometimes I can be like Tybalt in many ways especially when I'm hot headed. He seems like a cool character with a lot of style. He has really great lines and play one of the greatest rolls in the play even after he dies. I can remember his lines very well for this.
This, by his voice, should be a Montague.
Fetch me my rapier, boy. What dares the slave
Come hither, cover'd with an antic face,
To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?
Now, by the stock and honour of my kin,
To strike him dead, I hold it not a sin.
First- The character I chose is Lady Capulet when she speaks in act three, scene two. Her monologue is “What say you? Can you love the gentleman? Tonight you will behold him at our feast. Read o’er the lines of young Paris face And find delight writ there with beauty's pen; Examine every married lineament, And see how one another lends content
ReplyDeleteAnd what obscured in this fair volume lies Find written in the margent of his eyes.
This precious book of love, this unbound lover, To beautify him, only lacks a cover:
The fish lives in the sea, and 'tis much pride For fair without the fair within to hide:
That book in many's eyes doth share the glory, That in gold clasps locks in the golden story; So shall you share all that he doth possess, By having him, making yourself no less.”
Secondly- the character to whom Lady Capulet is speaking is Juliet. You might say she was talking to the nurse, because remember she told her to leave and then called her back in, to but I think the nurse was just there to witness the conversation.
Thirdly- This segment is a monologue because it is a speech that Lady Capulet is giving to Juliet. It cannot be a soliloquy because it is directed to Juliet who is still on stage. It can’t be an aside either because Lady Capulet is talking to Juliet.
Lastly- I can’t really find a personal connection to Lady Capulet because I think she is kind of naïve and I think she is extremely superficial.
Act One, Scene Two:
ReplyDelete“Tut man, one fire burns out another’s burning. One pain is lessened by another’s anguish. Turn giddy, and be helped by backward turning. One desperate grief cures with another’s languish. Take thou some new infection to thy eye, And rank poison of the old will die.”
This line of Romeo and Juliet is spoken by the cousin of Romeo and the nephew of Montague, Benvolio. Benvolio is basically telling Romeo to get over Rosaline and to find another girl to like or in Romeo’s case “love.”
I feel like I have not one, but two personal connections with this monologue. My first connection is with Benvolio, many times have I had friends who have been upset, heartbroken, or even sprung over their boyfriends, girlfriends, or boo thangs. Most of the time, I am the friend who tries to make my friends feel not as sad and or mad. Usually when I try to help, I do what Benvolio does and say that they’re many more fish in the sea and that they should just get over that person. My second and probably most personal connection is with Romeo at this time. Many many times have I been a heartbroken, lonesome, emotional, sprung wreck over a boy who has broken my heart.(and I am only fifth teen years old!) Numerous times have my friends been similar to Benvolio and try and make me feel better about the situation. This particular act and scene stuck out to me and I had two personal connections with it!

ReplyDeleteFirst: My character is Montague : Act one scene two
MONTAGUE
Many a morning hath he there been seen,
With tears augmenting the fresh morning dew.
Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs;
But all so soon as the all-cheering sun
Should in the furthest east begin to draw
The shady curtains from Aurora's bed,
Away from the light steals home my heavy son,
And private in his chamber pens himself,
Shuts up his windows, locks far daylight out
And makes himself an artificial night:
Black and portentous must this humour prove,
Unless good counsel may the cause remove
Second: Montage is speaking to Benvolio.
Third: My personal connection to Montague in his line in act one scene one is when I wake up in the morning I sometimes describe the day like I would say “The grass doesn’t have as much dew on it today as it did yesterday. Also, I might say I feel like today is going to be good or might say today might be bad or long or maybe even short depending on the morning and my mood .Further, I choose Montague because he seems wise and strongly passionate about what he says and to me that shows that he is a good person and a leader. Also, I choose this line because I like the way Montague Speaks .In Addition , when I hear Montague speak it reminds me of the way people spoke a long time ago .
My character is Juliet. She speaks in act 2 scene 2. I chose this part because it’s the most famous, and loved quote/part by Juliet. It is so romantic and filled with feeling and I love it. It’s one of Shakespeare’s best known lines. My character Juliet is referring to her most beloved, Romeo. My line is a monologue performed by Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? /Take all myself… I personally think this is the best part in the Romeo and Juliet play. I think the whole play is boring by itself, but this part seems to be the most interesting because it is romantic, deep, and sweet. I can personally connect with the monologue because if I was living during that time, it sounds like something I would say to my most loved. I love things that are really romantic, and this, I would have to say, is something I could relate to. It truly shows Juliet’s love for Romeo. I love how their love is so strong, that she pleads and gives herself in to Romeo just to make him love her even if their families are enemies. If you ask me, I’d have to say that’s a strong relationship. If my family and another family had a feud for so long, there’s no way you would catch me dating part of the family. That shows their love for each other. Especially for him to fall so deep in love and want to marry her the same day he met her. But if I had a love that strong with a rival family as much as those two did, this sounds like something I would say.
ReplyDeleteMy full monologue is:
O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
The part that I chose was in Act 1 Scene 1. Romeo’s cousin Benvolio was the one I picked in this play.
ReplyDeleteBenvolio was speaking to the prince of Verona. He was telling him how he was sorry for the fight that disturbed all the citizens in Verona. The prince told Benvolio if they disturbed Verona again, their lives will be
taken. Benvolio said; “Madam, I had a lot on my mind an hour before dawn this morning, so I went for a walk. Underneath the Sycamore grove that grows on the west side of the city, I saw your son taking an early-morning walk. I headed toward him, but he saw me coming and hid in the woods. I thought he must be feeling the same way I — wanted to be alone and tired of his own company. I figured he was avoiding me, and I was perfectly happy to leave him alone and keep to myself.”
Benvolio’s speech in Act 1 Scene 1 was a monologue not a soliloquy because Benvolio was not by himself thinking on what to say he was just having a conversation with the prince. He also was not on the stage by himself.
This monologue connected with me because I was in the same situation just like Benvolio. But the only difference was that my life was not on the line. My privileges were on the line instead. Also this gave me an image of what was going to happen in the play.
First: Romeo is speaking. In act 1, scene 5. It begins with "Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" and ends "For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."
ReplyDeleteSecond: Romeo is speaking to a Servingman. They are talking about the girl on the knight's arm(Juliet).
Third: It is a monologue because he is speaking to the characters and not the audience.
Last: I don't really have a connection with this part. I basically chose this part because it's kinda easy. The lines are easy to memorize. Also, it's a short monologue.
first- romeo is act 1 scence 1.i choose these scence because it has good quotes on quotes.benvolio and romeo speech was a monologue and not a soliloquy.in this scene or part benvolio was talking to the prince. he was talking to the prince of verona. the prince was the one and only prince of verona. in this scene he was not in it by himself.the monologue was like an was like an conncetion to me.in verona benvoilio was a destroying man, and a fighting person. this is kinda what an image is in the play. the monolgue is speaking to the audiences.this monologue was about speaking in telling the audience about act 1 scene 1.
ReplyDeleteMy character is Juliet. She speaks in Act 2 Scene 2. I chose this part because it is the easiest to remember and after the first few lines it gets even easier. On the plus side I like this part! It’s romantic.
ReplyDeleteMy part is a monologue because it is performed by one character (Juliet) who’s expressing their feelings. In this part Juliet is talking about Romeo but doesn’t know he hears her. She is saying that Romeo's name is her enemy, not Romeo. What is the name "Montague" after all? It's not any part of Romeo, not his hand or foot or face. She is wishing Romeo could have any other name than the name of the enemy. They would be together with no problem if he had any other name she believes.
I personally can’t connect to this but this is like the most romantic part of the play and also the only part I can seem to remember. Its only sixteen lines: O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
First: My character is Mercutio. He speaks in Act 1 Scene 4.
ReplyDeleteSecond: Mercutio is speaking to Romeo in this scene. He is trying to lighten up his mood and muses that Romeo must have been visited by Queen Mab (the fairies midwife).
Third: Mercutio lines is a monologue because its a long speech made by one person which is Mercutio lines.
Finally: I can personally connect with the lines I have choosen because in Mercutio lines he is speaking to Romeo and is giving him advice. He is helping him out with his decision with Juliet. Mercutio is crazy and funny and Im that way too. He is telling him whats right and wrong and I do the same to others.
first:my character that i have chosen to do my monlogue on & memorize it verbatim is juliet.she speaks in act 2 scene 5.
ReplyDeletesecond:juliet is not speaking to no one but one's self.Juliet has been waiting and waiting and waiting. The Nurse left at nine and promised to be back in half an hour, but now it's a little past noon, so Juliet has waited the half hour, then another, then two more. For a moment she worries that the Nurse has not found Romeo, but dismisses that thought and decides that "she is lame!" . Juliet doesn't mean that the Nurse is crippled, just stiff and slow. But "Love's heralds should be thoughts, Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams"
third:juliet lines in act 2 scene 5 is nether a monologue or aside. it's not a monologue because it's not A long speech made by one person often monopolizing a conversation. not an aside because its not a piece of dialogue intended for the audience and supposedly not heard by the other actors on stage.it is an solilquy because it is a dramatic literary form of discourse in which juliet talks to herself & reveals her thoughts without addressing a listener.
lastly:i have choosen this solilquy for a number of reasons mainly on my personaly connection. it has alot of meaning to it in which i love .this is one of my many personal connections on why i have choosen to do this wonderful soliloquy of juliet .
First off my monologue is in act 3 scene 1. I am playing mercutio. The part that starts with "no,tis not so deep". He is speaking to romeo. Third it is a monologue because he is speaking to romeo and it is lengthy.
ReplyDeleteFinaly I cant say that I have died before but I can get some kind of connection with the base of this monologue. I can connect with this because if I were romeo I would be mad and want revenge to like the time my little brother broke something of value to me and I was so mad that I broke something of his.
i also can say that witnessing a close family members death can be really hard and it makes a pearson want to do thing that they wouldnt normaly do if they were in the right state of mind.
ReplyDeletemy monologue is act 1 scene 4. romeo talks about he he doesn't have a god feeling about the party. he feels that some one will get injured or someone will die.
ReplyDeletethe time i had a bad feeling about something is when my friend and I decided to steal my moms car at 12 o'clock to go see some girls. so we stole the car and right when we were in front of their neighborhood my mom called me and cursed me out. i slapped my friend and said "i knew this was a bad idea" and went back home and got cursed out some more. so i know where romeo is coming from.

Second: Montage is speaking to Benvolio.
Third:the way i connect wit montague is by when he says:Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs.The way i relate to thet is like when i get fustrated aout something an gets mad when i cant do it.
In my monologue, Juliet is speaking in Act 3 Scene 2. In this particular scene, Juliet is speaking to her nurse about her dear love, Romeo. The lines in the scene that I have chosen are a monologue. She was trying to say how something so beautiful could be taken over by something so evil. I can relate to this monologue because I have been tricked once before. For example, I met this one guy and he was very cute. Days went by, maybe months(3 to be exact) and it turned out to be a big lie. I thought it all was perfect and it wasn’t. Juliet and I can connect on this because we both were tricked by something so beautiful. “He’s a villain who seemed honorable.” I feel that she trusted him and he turned on her in a heartbeat. I can also relate to this line because I put my trust into somebody just to get turned on a few weeks later. “I hate him, yet he seemed the most wonderful man. He’s turned out to be the exact opposite of what he seemed.” I can also relate to this line because you can think someone is the best person but they are just EVIL behind a mask. He seemed all sweet, kind, generous, and anything you would want. Then you realize that everything, and every word they said or did was all a lie. This is honestly how I can relate to this monologue.
