Question

Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'

In three to five sentences, compare and contrast your reading of the balcony scene with the performance you saw in the video. Did the actors portray this scene the way you imagined it? Explain your answer by providing specific details. Use correct spelling and grammar.

Answer 1

In the balcony scene, Romeo and Juliet express their love for each other, despite the obstacles they face. It is a romantic and passionate moment where they exchange vows of love and plan for their future together. The scene is known for its poetic language and the balcony serving as a symbol of their forbidden love.

Answer 2

When I read the balcony scene in the book, I imagined Romeo being really romantic, saying poetic things to Juliet. But in the video, Romeo was even more passionate and seemed like he couldn't live without Juliet. Also, Juliet seemed super happy to see Romeo in the video, like she was glowing. In my head, I thought they might be a bit shy, but in the video, they were confident and talked faster. So, the actors brought out a lot more emotions and energy than I imagined, making it really exciting to watch!
