Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare is a tragic love story. It tells two young teenagers dead for love at the end. I chose balcony scene in this play, involving two characters totally which are Romeo and Juliet. Romeo saw Juliet in a big party, and he immediately falls in love with her. However, it is hard for them to meet and talk because their famailes are enemy. So after the party,Romeo went Juliet house. He called Juliet under the balcony.

This is the scene Romeo and Juliet make sure their relationships. It is a turning point that they decided to stay together even their famaily say no. In this balcony scene,Romeo shows a very postive attitude. He hopes Juliet will accept him, and he views Juliet as something bright and warm. “It is the east,and Juliet is the sun.” At the same time, he also wants Juliet loves him in a same passion way,that is why he shouts when he heard Juliet. “She speaks,speak again! my broght angel.” I think since this is the first time Romeo feels love, he needs his lover to responce him in a same way, it makes him feel safe and happy. If Juliet gives him any signal showing like him, Romeo will be so excited. Love is not only about like each other, both have to carry some responsibilies. For man, one of the responsibility  for sure is giving safety to woman, so lots of men would like to promise to do something. Our Romeo is like this too,he promised Juliet nobody can stop their love. he told Juliet “I take thee at thy word. Call me but love,and I will be new baptized;Henceforth I never will be Romeo.” Moreover,Romeo shows an attitude that he hates this love cannot be blessed by their famailes only because his famaily and Juliet’s famaily are enemy. He somehow hates he born in this famaily, “By a name,I know not how to tell thee who I am, My name,dear saint,is hateful to myself,because it is an enemy to thee.” I understand what Romeo feels, he hates anything that try to stop his love. He must imagined that if he is not Romeo, he might can love a girl without many people oppose. Romeo is not afraid of those who wants block his love, he is confident that he can hold Juliet’s hands to the end. Romeo is brave, he can sacrifice himself anytime. Love is like a drug makes people get crazy.


Juliet changed a lot from the beginning including her attitude to love, she used to be a girl who obey her parents. However she met Romeo,everything changed. She became brave. In our scene,she has not change yet. So my partner decieded to do a blocking like we stand very far away from each other at the beginning. As I am talking to her,I move closer to her,but she moves back at the same time. This shows she is not sure if this is right or not. Romeo did not change at all,his love keeps forever. I kneel down for Juliet,I pray for her to speak again,I tell her nothing can stops our love,I promise her we would stay forever. I used some body languages to express my feeling. In addition,I emphasized some words in order to tell “I really love Juliet” for example “Juliet”, “again”,“hate”. Since Romeo’s passion love keeps for the whole scene, I have to keep saying lines with a emotion that earger to something. Except moving closer to Juliet, I am suppose to do something more because it is hard to be realistic if a passion man’s only movement is walking closer. So I have to try to catch Juliet’hands and hold her. At first, Juliet suppose to hide from my catching,then she changed her mind. So I can hold her hand
