Character Commandant Jacob Laconi
Act 1 Scene 4 Page 596 • This quote included Mercutio and Romeo having a conversation where both describe love. They both described love violently, ironically because of how the story ends (dramatic irony). Romeo said he was “enpierced with his {Cupid’s} shaft,” referring to him being sad and heartbroken. Mercutio and Romeo had a series of things that characterized themselves on their beliefs on love and their perception.
Act 1 Scene 5 Pages 602-603 • This is quote took place when Romeo and Juliet had first met. To me, it showed how easy it was for Romeo to change is opinion. He went from sad to in love in a matter of minutes. He referred to Juliet’s hand as a “holy shrine” only after just meeting her, seeming to not be “heartbroken” from Rosaline.
Act 2 Scene 6 Page 628 • Friar is the voice of reason for once. He is trying to convince Romeo to love more carefully, and not be so quick to move along. It may even get him killed one day. But Romeo was persistent to say he was in love with Juliet. This quote reveals a lot about both Romeo and Friar.
Act 5 Scene 3 Pages 689-690 • This was a very powerful moment in the story. Romeo and Juliet had just died. Montague and Capulet decided to overcome their hatred for each other in honor of their dead children and in-laws. This showed me how emotionally strong they both were.
Act 4 Scene 1 Page 663 • Here, Juliet says she’d rather die then cheat on Romeo and marry Paris. As good as a “love story” this seems to be, they’ve only known each other for a few days. So, this speaks volumes to how much Juliet loves Romeo. And scarily, Romeo feels the same way, if not more inclined to loving her.
