Story”~Taylor Swift R&J- Act 1 scene 5 To begin the comparison of this song and the play you need to understand that this song makes quite a bit of references even including the names Romeo and Juliet although some of the song is inaccurate Let’s start at the very beginning of the song “We were both young when I first saw you.” Indeed they were young with Juliet being two weeks from 14 and Romeo is around 16 and from the phrase “when I first saw you” I can guess this was act I scene 5 as this is the ball/party

Julius Caesar – Act 1 Scene 2 The scene I have drawn is act 1 scene 2 when the soothsayer approaches Julius Caesar. He tells him to “Beware of March 15th”. This is a significant scene to the play because he warned Caesar about the day of his death. This is important because it shows how he is arrogant and thinks he is superior to others by not listening to anyone’s opinions. “He is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass!” (act 1‚ scene 2) this quote shows us that he did not want to talk to the soothsayer

Act 2 Scene 1 For this scene I chose the song “Lean On Me” by Bill Withers. I chose this song because it talks about how when you need a friend during bad times in your life to help you‚ they’ll be there. A quotation from the song that proves this is: ”Lean on me‚ when you’re not strong And I’ll be your friend‚ I’ll help you carry on.” this connects to the scene because Sebastian needed someone to be there for him to help him in his time of need and sorrow. Antonio offers to help Sebastian even though

In Scene I‚ Act I‚ of Romeo and Juliet‚ Romeo bitterly complains to his cousin and friend‚ Benvolio‚ about being “in love” with another girl. However‚ I think he is being dramatic about his love for this person. Romeo repeatedly describes how beautiful this person is‚ but has not stated more rational reasons as to why someone might love another person (ex – his or her personality). Romeo also said‚ “She will not stay the siege of loving terms‚/nor bride th’encounter of assailing eyes‚/nor ope her

I am going to be examining Act III Scene I and Act III Scene II to show how these two scenes create dramatic effectiveness for the audience. Act III Scene 1 (A Room in the castle) involves Claudius contemplating whether or not to send Hamlet away to London in order to deal with his troubles. This is also the scene of Hamlet’s famous soliloquy ‘To be or not to be”‚ whereby he is considering his life and what has been going on since his fathers death.

In Act 2‚ scene 1‚ Iago’s comment that Othello and Desdemona "are well tuned" is a metaphor of harmonic music in which he uses to indicate the current harmony of Othello’s marriage. However the comment is then followed by Iago’s vow "to set down the pegs"‚ which show his intentions to disrupt the harmony between them. When Iago and Roderigo are left alone together‚ Iago sees this as an opportunity to manipulate Roderigo by telling him that "Desdemona is directly in love with him" (him being Cassio)

How does Shakespeare portray Lady Macbeth’s state of mind in her first speech (“The raven was hoarse…”) and how does the speech relate to the plays concerns with ambition? Lady Macbeth’s soliloquy (Act I scene 5 lines 37-52) provides a vivid insight into her twisted state of mind as she creates initial plans to murder Duncan in order to fulfill the prophecy the witches made and have Macbeth become the King. The first lines of the speech reveal her first dark thoughts on killing Duncan. “The
